Gilead, California-based pharmaceutical company has announced the price for their approved antiviral drug for coronavirus a few days ago. Remdesivir, the name of the drug will be sold for $390 per dose for wealthy countries, while less fortunate countries will be able to buy the drug for a lower price.
Considering the current global condition and the dire needs for corona treatment, I think it would be wise to make the drug more accessible and possibly free for all. What do you think about this?

We are still not sure how effective it is because why corona still rising in their place?

I also read news about it. For next three months production completely go for America. Because America already placed order.

Expensive, eh? This is why I rather avoid getting the covid than expecting a vaccine.

Sadly, looking at how fast the virus can spread all over the world I'm not sure if we can continually avoid it.

Sadly true. Oh well at least we got something, it's better than nothing at all.

Agree. I don't even dare to imagine just how much a corona vaccine will cost us in the future.

I saw it on the news a couple of days ago and thought they were making it impossible to use the vaccine. Considering the pandemic, it should be accessible to everyone.
