Pence: Task Force Will Work with Gilead To Make Sure Remdesevir Is Distributed to Hospitals with Patients Who Are Struggling

EXCERPT:

PENCE: “We were told that it was possible that by the spring, we would have therapeutics, and standing here on May 1st, the very first therapeutic with the emergency use authorization, the good work of FDA is now available. But donating 1.5 million doses, our task force will be working very closely with Gilead to make sure that those medicines starting on Monday are distributed to hospitals where patients are struggling in serious conditions with the coronavirus today. And so, Dan, I hope you will carry back our gratitude, but I know the gratitude of the American people when they see the incredible ingenuity and generosity of the team at Gilead. God bless you."
