President Trump Nominates Judge Amy Coney Barrett for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. This is the event that some believe is a super spreader gathering where the president acquired or spread COVID 19 to multiple attendees. President Donald J. Trump listens as Judge Amy Coney Barrett, his nominee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, addresses her remarks Saturday, September 26, 2020, in the Rose Garden of the White House.
President Trump, hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, is being treated with remdesivir, an antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences. While the drug hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it was authorized for emergency use in May for treating hospitalized patients with the coronavirus. Trump received his first IV infusion of remdesivir on Friday night, and doctors say he'll undergo a five-day treatment course of the drug. How does remdesivir work? By making it harder for the virus to replicate. Typically, when SARS-CoV-2 invades a cell, it releases a strand of RNA containing its genome — essentially, a genetic blueprint for replicating itself. In order for the virus to make copies, its RNA needs to latch onto a cell's ribosome. That's a tiny cellular machine that lives in human cells and creates proteins. A single cell can contain millions of ribosomes, which, when things are working normally, help create the normal cells of the human body. But the coronavirus hijacks the ribosome, directing it to make copies of itself — and then copies of those copies.
