US drug performs well in test, builds hopes for COVID-19 treatment | Money Talks

The man who’s become the trusted face of the US government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak says an experimental drug has shown a positive effect in treating patients with COVID-19.

He’s an epidemiologist and health economist at Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health and a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists.
