Default When will Village hospitals have remdesivir?

So far remdesivir is the only drug that is proven to mitigate Covid 19. The plan is to supply this drug to all hospitals. News stories say it is unclear which states and which hospitals will get this drug first. Does anyone know if the Villages hospitals have this drug or when they will receive their supply?

My sources tell me that there will be a low level drop from a C-130 onto the Polo Field very soon. The success rate for the chute to open is in the high % rate.

They probably don't allocate any to one star hospitals.

Unless you have moderate to severe COVID-19, why do you care? (Consider that info on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know)

Don’t understand. Is there anything wrong with asking a question? Is this classified information?

Highly classified. Above top secret


Asking puts you on double secret probation

I've heard that the Villages Regional Hospital is not very good. I even recall someone posting "he wouldn't bring his dog there".

Recently, I had a serious infection and was ambulanced in at 11PM on a Thursday evening. I received nothing but extraordinary treatment from the second I arrived until 4 days later when I left. They immediately tested for CV which was negative. The nurses, the Doctors and entire staff were polite, courteous to me and with their medical expertise, were able to pinpoint the cause of my infection. The hospital was clean and in my opinion was a first class operation. I would definitely bring my dog there but I don't have one.

Depending on who you believe. Isn’t then remdesivir the one that is very, very expensive. I believe that the other drug is at least just as good and costs much much less.
