    Most doses are allocated to infusion centers that got a rushed certification. As far as I know, they aren’t being given in doctor’s offices.

    Like said above, if you have the $$$ or know somebody, you’ll get it regardless, but you need a referral. But many truly aren’t qualified. I got a dose, supposedly the last dose allocated for the day, and I got it based on the good buddy network. The pharmacist responsible for allocating was a colleague and he made sure I qualified.

    Is Rendezovir (sp?) The same thing?

    Remdesivir is an antiviral drug that mimics antibodies, vs actual harvested antibodies.


    Edited for clarification.

    Gotcha. My aunt went to the hospital a week ago after having high temperature for almost a week. They gave her Remdesivir and that seemed to have worked. Whatever it did it took of the temperature permanently. She's still recovering but much better now

    I need to make a clarification though, I didn’t explain it 100% accurately. Think of remdesivir as synthetically-produced monoclonal antibodies made in a lab so you’re right to think of them as same/same. And yes, it’s quite effective, I’m glad she was able to get the infusion.
