A former Iowa Department of Public Health spokeswoman accused the state and Gov. Kim Reynolds of “a planned effort to thwart open communication” about the coronavirus pandemic.

Prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine, the antimalarial drug promoted by President Trump as a remedy for the virus, soared in March and April after the Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency exemption for use contrary to Covid-19, but declined to more general degrees in May.and June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

The F.D.A. Withdrew its emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine (and its less prescribed sister drug, chloroquine) in June after scientists concluded that its benefits of obtaining do not outweigh the dangers for Covid-19; The review that led to the revocation revealed more than 100 cases, adding 25 deaths, of severe disorders at the center in Covid-19 patients taking the drug. Clinical trials have also shown that it has little benefit for remedying the disease. . .

Still, the C.D.C. reported that more than 1.3 million orders – news and renewals – were written in March and April, at around 819,000 at the same time last year.The sharp increase in use suggests the influence that M.Trump and the F.D.A.Emergency exemptions can influence medical decision-making, even in the absence of limited evidence of the effectiveness of a drug.

But perhaps the most surprising conclusion is that “non-routine prescribers,” non-general medical specialists who would have no explanation for prescribing the drug, wrote more than 75,000 prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine in March alone.number written in March 2019.

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are approved to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus and malaria.Trump, who said he himself was taking hydroxychloroquine, called it a imaginable “game changer” and promoted it several times during his daily briefings this spring.

The Centers for Disease Control analyzed drug prescriptions to assess the effects of F.D.A.emergency exemption, which was issued on March 28 to allow the distribution of medicines from the national reserve.”In March and April 2020, non-regular prescribers accounted for the highest percentage of accumulation of new recipes compared to the same time in 2019.”he wrote the firm, adding: “The non-routine prescription specialties with the highest volume of prescription and expansion in March 2020 were ophthalmology, anesthesiology and cardiology.”

But new recipes written through these prescribers have declined considerably.In June, about 1,900 were written.

An updated list of possible solutions for Covid-19.

As the pandemic continues to grow as autumn approaches, government efforts to progress and deploy various testing strategies are a rare, if late, bright spot among the widespread problems involving coronavirus.

In the U.S. government’s most recent circular, the US government has not been able to do so.U.S., Array, the National Institutes of Health said Wednesday that they were offering nine other corporations $123.3 million from a $2.5 billing pot allocated last spring through the stimulus bill for testing.NIH $372 million in 16 corporations.

The purpose is to produce a wide variety of tests, making them easier to perform and perhaps in the end as simple to use as a home pregnancy test.Tests must demonstrate that they meet the protection of the Food and Drug Administration and accuracy criteria before they can be sold.

“It will be a glorious competition,” said Dr. Francis S. Collins, N.I.H. director said in an interview Tuesday night.

However, even if the government is helping to accelerate the advent of new evidence, the administration continues to send contradictory, and frankly contradictory, messages about the amount and types of evidence needed, when they deserve to be administered, and to whom.

President Trump has long mocked the evidence, complaining that the number of cases shown is increasing.The lack of a transparent national strategy has the public, deeply frustrated public fitness officials and confused pharmaceutical executives.

But as check characteristics have multiplied, allefing some of the shortages and bottlenecks in laboratories that have hampered the early reaction to the pandemic, universities, employers, state and local governments, and other establishments have filled some of the empty left by the administration with their own resources.consult plans.

A growing number of corporations, ranging from Soupergirl, a small business in Washington, D.C.with 30 workers making vegan soups, even Amazon, the world’s largest store, are its workers.

In a recent interview, Dr. Bruce J.Tromberg, who leads the N.I.H.Check Progress Program, estimated that the US would not be able to do so. The U.S. needed to control about six million people a day, getting specialized reports from the Rockefeller Foundation and other organizations.Without federal aid, he said, companies would produce only part of that number until the end of the year.

Trump management officials, such as Admiral Brett P.Giroir, the tsar of checks, and an assistant fitness secretary, say they need states and localities to create their own check plans that meet their express wishes rather than being forced to stick to federal dictates, but many experts complain that a lack of federal decision-making, adding up to the number of checks consistent with the day the United States deserves to target , is an impediment to the country’s war on the virus, which has so far killed more than 184,000 people and inflamed more than six million.

“Let’s say we’re accelerating and we hope to get there. Let’s keep a purpose in mind,” said Dr. Mark McClellan, director of the Duke-Margolis Health Policy Center and commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration at former President George W.. Sir.Bush.” It’s just about bringing the evidence to market.”
