Clinical Trials of Coronavirus Drugs Are Taking Longer Than Expected

Fri, 2020-08-14 19:05 — mike kraft

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc in the United States and treatments are needed more than ever, clinical trials for some of the most promising experimental drugs are taking longer than expected.

Coronavirus in Europe: Infections surge in France, Germany and Spain

Thu, 2020-08-13 13:27 — mike kraft

European countries fight coronavirus surge Germany and Greece record their highest daily cases, while Spain and France reach a "tipping point". BBC News

Germany has recorded its biggest daily increase in coronavirus cases in more than three months as European countries struggle to curb a surge in infections.

More than 1,200 cases were reported in Germany in the past 24 hours. Officials said the rise was due, in part, to people returning from holidays.

It came as Germany warned against non-essential trips to parts of Spain.

Meanwhile, France had 2,524 new cases in 24 hours, the highest daily rise since its lockdown was lifted in May.
