discussion China approves Genuine Biotech's HIV drug for COVID patients

[AlanRickman1946]

China on Monday gave conditional approval to domestic firm Genuine Biotech's Azvudine pill to treat certain adult patients with COVID-19.

China approved the Azvudine tablet in July last year to treat certain HIV-1 virus infections. It has been given a conditional green light to treat adult patients with "normal type" COVID (coronavirus infections where there are signs of pneumonia, but the patients haven't reached a severe stage.)

 

- 40.4% of patients taking Azvudine showed improvement in symptoms seven days after first taking the drug, compared with 10.9% in the control group Genuine Biotech said in a statement earlier this month, without providing detailed readings

Other options in China:

-Pfizer's oral treatment Paxlovid - Lianhuaqingwen capsules(a traditional Chinese medicine-style formula)

Didn't a doctor say Covid was super similar to HIV? Almost like it was derived/created using parts of it?
