They mentioned that they expect to be able to produce 250,000 doses a month by next year.

Among the first 275 patients, approximately 56% were Hispanic, 13% were African American and 64% had one or more underlying risk factors for severe COVID-19, including obesity (more than 40%). On average, patients were 44 years of age. In total, 49% of participants were male and 51% were female.

At least 1,300 patients will be recruited into the Phase 2/3 portion of the outpatient trial overall. Patients will be followed for 29 days, with viral shedding in the upper respiratory tract assessed approximately every 2-3 days in the Phase 2 portion of the trial and clinical endpoints assessed via investigator and patient-reported data throughout.

In addition to this trial in non-hospitalized patients, REGN-COV2 is currently being studied in a Phase 2/3 clinical trial for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients, the Phase 3 open-label RECOVERY trial of hospitalized patients in the UK and a Phase 3 trial for the prevention of COVID-19 in household contacts of infected individuals. Recruitment in all 4 trials is ongoing.

So am I reading this right that it has only been tested on 275 people at this point?

What stuck out to me was the fact that they seem to be testing it on minorities. No white people available?

That Trump has at least a moderate case whereas she is only exhibiting mild symptoms. Given their respective ages and physical health, this seems about right.

I don't see how it helps him, but it's hard to know what's coming next. We have to take as a given that he is lying about some or all of this. If he's not, it will be maybe the first time in his presidency that he's told the complete truth.

Biden needs to keep campaigning his ass off because this is a major wildcard. I'm concerned people will stay home if they think Trump is done.

I fully expect that Trump's people will start talking about delaying the election soon. Its inevitable.

Maybe she’s staying behind to do more Christmas planning.
