In the race to find a COVID-19 treatment, the CEO of tiny biotech company is 'very optimistic.'

Early cases of COVID-19 are believed to be linked to a live-animal market in Wuhan, China.a tiny British-Norwegian company developing a treatment for the illness says it is"very optimistic" for the potential of a new drug that would require a patient to take only one pill a day.

Richard Godfrey, the CEO of BerGenBio, told ABC News that he has high hopes that the drug, which was initially developed to treat cancer, will benefit coronavirus patients.Laboratory studies have also demonstrated antiviral activity against Ebola and the Zika virus, he said,"so we had an inkling already that our drug could potentially work in serious viral infections."

Isn’t Sorento Therapeutics of San Diego doing something similar?

if only there were something safe and cheap.

WHERE IS YOUR COVERAGE OF THIS? IS IT NOT THE RIGHT SKIN COLOR? IF THIS WAS A BLACK ELDERLY MAN HAVING THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF HIM YOU WOULD BE NONSTOP COVERAGE. YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK.

Just release as many strains of the common cold as you can guys and let nature do the rest. No masks, no distancing, plenty of sunshine.

Well thats great.

Moderna is way ahead of everyone in the failures:

120000 is tiny? Moody's was 10,000 but big.

Thanks God

Not yet to get the cure 😴

I would hope that anyone working on a treatment would be 'very optimistic'.

THE CURE IS STILL UNDER PROCESS GOD BLESS THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM YOUR ALL MIRACLE WORKER'S I'D LOVE TO SEE A BETTER TOMORROW WITH YOU.

The tiny company is still publicly traded. Major investors are big players. This is trying so hard to make it seem like a cure is not coming from big pharma

Stop doing this stop reporting on this stories most turn out to be bogus because no one's monitoring them

Yeah we reject your big pharma BS cure when we have one. Please go away.

Fuck
