Is the new UK variant the same as the new South African variant (501Y.V2)? No. They both share the same mutation in spike: N501Y (N->Y at position 501). However, the 2 variants have arisen separately. 1/N https://nextstrain.org/groups/neherlab/ncov/S.N501?c=gt-S_501,69&p=grid&r=countrynitter.net

The FDA just approved the first coronavirus drug – but this new medicine might be even better | BGR
Very interesting.Researchers tested a cancer drug called plitidepsin as a coronavirus therapy and discovered it can block the virus’s ability to replicate.https://bgr.com/2020/10/25/coronavirus-treatment-plitidepsin-cancer-drug-spain-trial/
The use of plitidepsin reduced viral loads after just seven days and improved blood test markers for inflammation.
Nearly 40% of a limited group of patients who received various doses of plitidepsin were discharged after just eight days in the hospital.

Bypassing clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine 'catastrophic,' says editorial

Bypassing clinical trials of a potential vaccine for #SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing #COVID-19, would be "catastrophic," said an editorial published on #Science Advances on Friday.
It is "vital to take time" to ensure any vaccine candidate's safety and investigate potential adverse effects, said the editorial by Douglas Green, deputy editor of the multidisciplinary scientific journal.
A vaccine able to trigger strong neutralizing antibody responses in #clinical tests will still not be ready for widespread implementation without comprehensive safety tests, wrote Green, who is also an expert on #immunology.
Vaccines must be examined for causing an effect known as antibody-dependent enhancement, whereby #vaccine-induced #antibodies that bind to the #virus also attach to the body's #cells, facilitating #infection of these cells -- a concerning phenomenon that has been observed in vaccines against #dengue, #Ebola, #HIV, and #feline #coronavirus, said the editorial.
Ethical accelerated testing on humans "should not be ruled out completely," but extreme risks must be weighed against potential benefits, it said.
There are currently 95 vaccines under development against SARS-CoV-2, with most expected to clear phase one, and two already moving into phase two trials, it added.Bypassing clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine 'catastrophic,' says editorial - Chinadaily.com.cn
