Remdesivir costs around $3500 - $5000 just for the treatment. That doesn’t include other costs like hospital stay. Also not everyone will qualify for the treatments because there are contraindications. So it’s limited in scope in how it can help people unfortunately... while HCQ is cheap and would have ended the pandemic months ago.
Follow the money! HCQ pennies a dose. Remdesivir? Hundreds of $$ if not a few grand?
Same old story innit.... sigh.
