Remdesivir targets a structurally analogous region of the Ebola virus and SARS-CoV-2 polymerases

Abstract (less than 50 of the long article with graphs,etc)

Remdesivir is a broad-spectrum antiviral nucleotide prodrug that has been clinically evaluated in Ebola virus patients and recently received emergency use authorization (EUA) for treatment of COVID-19. With approvals from the Federal Select Agent Program and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Institutional Biosecurity Board, we characterized the resistance profile of remdesivir by serially passaging Ebola virus under remdesivir selection; we generated lineages with low-level reduced susceptibility to remdesivir after 35 passages. We found that a single amino acid substitution, F548S, in the Ebola virus polymerase conferred low-level reduced susceptibility to remdesivir. The F548 residue is highly conserved in filoviruses but should be subject to specific surveillance among novel filoviruses, in newly emerging variants in ongoing outbreaks, and also in Ebola virus patients undergoing remdesivir therapy.

I agree.
We’ve all leveled up to endemic.
DR has been consistent and methodical.

At this point, given the trajectory, I think we need an estimate of max testing per country: Spain, France, UK, and US.

This will help us know that we’ve reached out limit and not a plateau.

Data point on the economy:

As most know on here, I own a small manufacturing company in Houston. My son is the Pres. and I work out of my home office.

This past week our orders went to near ZERO. It is very similar to the time before the 2016 election; companies put orders on hold until after they see who wins.

Even our DoD parts customer has ceased orders. I think DoD may even be slowing purchases to hold onto budget in case there are cuts.

My son, who runs the company better than I ever did, LAID OFF 90% of our workers yesterday. With lay off letters, they can apply for unemployment.

Its sad for them because we had a great year up to now with lots of overtime paid out.

What did the workers save? ZERO. For example, one of my nephews traded in his hot car for a hotter car with bigger payments.

I warned them all back in Feb. to save money and store food sufficient for months. None listened.

Summary: we are heading into a Perfect Storm of pandemic, economic depression, and political violence.

Can you start manufacturing those nice armed drones that can catch zombies 1000k away from above I’m wanting for my preps?
 Quoting: sos


Nope. I know you are joking, but we don't do electronics.

OTOH, I think it would be quite feasible to have 7.62 belt fed semi-auto guns on top of towers. I have been thinking you could have a unit that is hoisted up a steel pipe about 100 feet up to cover a wide area. There are scopes available that have day/night vision capability and electronic output.

An operator in a bunker could aim and fire the gun. 7.62 can reach out over 1000 meters.

I would suggest a minimum of three towers which can cover each other. The units can be lowered to resupply ammo.

Each gun unit will require armor and the gun/scope has to be in a tube with baffles to keep the zombies from shooting back.

Oh, and for drones, you just need Cajuns with 12 gauge shotguns. Or you could get serious and use 10 gauge with tungsten shot for more range.

Hell Riff, I used to be in the weapons biz.

They taught me military engineering at West Point, things like designing solid rocket motors and artillery pieces.

BTW, belt-fed, semi-auto 7.62mm weapons are pricey but freely available. No restrictions since they are not full auto/Class 3.

Three tower mounted guns with another set of in ground bunkers with semi auto shotguns is just the ticket for home defense.

Also legal for hog huntin' in Texas.

All of that video game training could pay off.

I found this:

Ebola virus is a hemorrhagic fever virus that causes high fatality rates when it spreads from zoonotic vectors into the human population. Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) causes severe respiratory distress in infected patients. A devastating outbreak of EBOV occurred in West Africa in 2014, and there was a significant outbreak of SARS in 2003. No effective vaccine or treatment has yet been approved for either virus. We present evidence that both viruses traffic late into the endocytic pathway, to NPC1+ LE/Lys, in order to enter host cells, and that they do so to access high levels of cathepsin activity, which both viruses use in their fusion-triggering mechanisms. This unexpected similarity suggests an unexplored vulnerability, trafficking to NPC1+ LE/Lys, as a therapeutic target for SARS and EBOV.

I'm far from an epidemiologist, but I think what they're saying is that both viruses might respond to Remdesivir because of the similar method they use to enter cells.

Ebola is not a part of Covid; they just have similar cell entry methods that Remdesivir might inhibit.

Good morning, fam.

Thank you to all who wished us well with my report of COVID close contact and testing. Montana is presently a crapshoot.

My daughter, 20, son, 17, and myself have had positive tests. Haven’t heard back yet from my staff.

I would like to keep a rolling journal here of how we each progress through this, if no one minds terribly.

My first symptom was burning eyes, watery nose just like it was a big allergy attack. Shortly after onset of those symptoms, within an hour, I had a dry cough, nausea, diarrhea, my neck locked up, muscle fatigue and a migraine set in. My muscle symptoms may not be typical because of pre-existing conditions. In fact I should likely be lumped in with the “underlying conditions” group. However, I’m 5’9, 120lbs, healthy and active and I take a daily regimen of supplements including vit C, D, zinc, oreganol, etc, due to diet restrictions. Over the next 3 days I had a fever, on and off but never over 100, and the cough became steady, every breath and every word I speak a cough is there. But there’s no mucous collecting, no fluid building up. I also became quite ill a few weeks ago. All the same symptoms as now. Went for a COVID test august 7, which was negative. But I don’t get sick. Haven’t had so much as a cold in 10 years. I think it’s possible that this occurrence is actually a recurrence and previous test was a false negative or not enough antibodies to be isolated.

Daughter: let me first say that I believe she had this already in February. In that case she felt fine one day and the next she couldn’t breathe, described it as an elephant on her chest, had 104 fever, body aches. She went to minor emergency. They suggested she go to ER for because she was dehydrated. Her O-sat was 83%. This current infection started for her about a month ago with unexplained hives breaking out over her entire body, some intermittent cold symptoms, felt like she had a sinus/ear infection, diarrhea and nausea. She went to the doctor for that and they sent her home telling her it was probably irritation from the wildfire smoke. Those symptoms have all continued with the addition in the last 5 days of body aches, burning eyes, extreme neck stiffness, swollen glands, painful kidneys/back. She went to the doctor with those symptoms 2 days before we went for the COVID test and was told she was fine and the hives and back pain were probably from work, where her building is not air conditioned and she was processing a lot of books. As of now she is still experiencing all these symptoms and extreme fatigue, can’t taste or smell, headache. She has run an intermittent low fever. She is healthy, athletic, 6’ tall 185lbs.

Son: I believe he already had it once in May. He had a co-worker with a positive test and had cold/flu symptoms within 24 hours of her report. This current infection hit him the same way. Quickly, cold/flu symptoms and he can’t taste or smell, headache that he describes as “dagger stuck through his brain right through the middle of his forehead”. Shortness of breath and unproductive deep cough, vomiting. He has also had the intermittent low fever. He is 6’5, 210lbs, healthy and athletic. 14 kids in his friend group are now confirmed positive.

My youngest son, 13, also had cold symptoms around the first of august. Was exposed to a confirmed positive at a soccer tournament. Has been experiencing cold symptoms again for about 2 weeks. He is 5’5, 100 lbs healthy and athletic. There are currently 117 quarantined students/staff at his school.

My oldest daughter, 26, her husband, 28, both who are average height, overweight and sedentary, and their 10 month old had the same symptoms in that august time frame, were tested negative at that time as well. the baby is currently experiencing them again. There was a confirmed case at his daycare 2 weeks ago. His mom has a confirmed case reported at her work 2 days ago. They are bank tellers and share the headsets at the drive thru.

Sorry for the wall of text.

Much love and many blessings! Stay safe y’all!!

So sorry to hear you whole family has been hit. :(

Thank you for giving such a detailed rundown of the various symptoms - some of which are new to me. I’m suspecting there has been a new variation released resently.

You and your family are in my prayers. Please keep us updated of what is going on. You do it so well.

Hell Riff, I used to be in the weapons biz.

They taught me military engineering at West Point, things like designing solid rocket motors and artillery pieces.

BTW, belt-fed, semi-auto 7.62mm weapons are pricey but freely available. No restrictions since they are not full auto/Class 3.

Three tower mounted guns with another set of in ground bunkers with semi auto shotguns is just the ticket for home defense.

Also legal for hog huntin' in Texas.

All of that video game training could pay off.

Actually, when we first met, Raffette "tolerated" my preparedness tendencies. Lucky for me, one of the things we realized we had in common on our first date was we had both read the novel "War Day," and it both had an impact on us. Early in our marriage she allowed me to keep about 30 days of supplies on hand. Later, when we bought a bigger house I increased that to 90 days.

After the North Korea nuclear crisis back in 2016 when they detonated their first multi-stage thermonuclear weapon, she relented and allowed me to spend the money for building the shelter I wanted and to bump our stocks to 180 days. When Covid first appeared on the scene back in January, she realized as quickly as everyone else did on here how serious it might get, and we bumped up to a year's worth of supplies as quickly as we could.

She and I conduct thought experiments sometimes. If we were on a long drive out of state, I would say something like, "We just saw a blinding flash of light and we see a mushroom cloud about 25 miles behind us. What's the first thing we do?" Or I might do something similar with an EMP event and the truck dying on the highway.

She's a good sport, intelligent and resourceful, and one of the very few people I trust implicitly. If I have to go through the apocalypse, she's an excellent partner to do it with.

So our healthcare system and our mindset needs to be adjusted.

Covid is our scariest flu strain. Ok I get it.
With possible lingering effects, not 100% understood.

Now if Covid was contagious before symptoms arose, then I would be worried.

Every time anything (technology, diseases) is introduced into our lives worldwide, this always has an affect on life and death percentages.
Covid is no different.

Always in the end survival of the fittest. That has never changed either.

The bar for life expectancy has been lowered.
Education and Awareness for Covid
The same way we tackle life with all the other deadly possible outcomes.


Very interesting to see the outcome after a few years. But i certainly do not see Covid causing any version of a societal collapse or economic collapse. Nothing to indicate doom is on the horizon because of a deadly version of the flu.

Maybe, peoples personal mindset collapse is the only thing I see becoming a problem. Some people (control freaks) have a hard time adjusting to new things. Is the only thing I see.

What does Birx mean by silent spread?

No symptoms?
No reporting of it?
Made up phrase?
 Quoting: Moniker Shmoniker


It is an odd phrase.
I would think “asymptomatic”
But why not just at it?

Could it be “airborne” spread.
 Quoting: Guythu


People that become infected and experience symptoms so mild that they don't get tested and so they continue the spread without any kind of record of it?

Not quite the same thing as asymptomatic spread. Just a thought.
