Exclamation Interesting comment by Gilead Sciences Inc

Found this little gem in an Al Jazeera article:

Gilead assessing Ebola drug as possible coronavirus treatment

Gilead Sciences Inc said it was assessing whether its experimental Ebola treatment could be used to treat coronavirus infection.

"Gilead is in active discussions with researchers and clinicians in the United States and China regarding the ongoing Wuhan coronavirus outbreak and the potential use of Remdesivir as an investigational treatment," a company spokesman said in an emailed statement.

The company said there was no antiviral data on the drug that showed activity against the coronavirus that was identified in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. But testing in animals had shown that the drug was effective against the SARS coronavirus.
