    “We'll all say we've never felt more connected to our purpose as scientists and physicians and drug developers.
    This is what we've been preparing for. We may not have known it but it's been a call to action that's energized us
    We're also wondering how can we ever go back to the normal pace of work
    This is something special and it's a moment where science comes to the rescue of society
    The question is next year, let's replicate this for patients with other diseases”

    - Daniel Skovronksy, the Chief Scientific Officer of Eli Lilly
    Best quote ever.
    Thanks so much for all the health care providers and scientists who worked long hours in 2020 to make a difference in the world.

    I have friends in England who regularly see the nurse who is assigned to their neighborhood for a lot of things that I would have to go in to see my doctor or psychologist to have addressed. The nurse cuts down on how many people need to see a doctor, the patient doesn’t have to leave their homes, and there’s a healthcare provider who understands their neighborhood and what resources they need and are close by. I’m hopeful that we will move towards universal coverage and smarter ways to organize healthcare for all of us!

    What I wanted to say .. in answer to "will things be different in the future". Yes. We needed a covid19 panic situation because for so many years we've been working in a post war way; the fifties and early sixties set up the paradigms for our science. Change like this requires a global pandemic - where we learn new things and ways of being. There will be a push back, from those who long for the 'good ol' days' but small leaps will mean, as a world, we have started to, well and truly, get out of the 20th century and into the 21st.
    Yay!! Science. Thanks to SciShow for showing this. Thanks so much

      They are the people most likely to wind up in the hospital simply due to their pre-existing issues. The case for this is by keeping patients from winding up in the ICU, it clears personnel for treating those who do progress to worse outcomes. You can't win a football game with just a quarterback or just a wide receiver. You need the offensive linemen and defensive squad as well.

    The telemedicine development seems really great for some things, but it was really terrible for me. I had a throat infection which going to the doctor would have solved within two weeks, but because some of the symptoms for a throat infection are the same as those for COVID, doctors wouldn't let me in to see me. We tried over the phone but obviously it's hard to shine a torch down someone's throat and diagnose an infection over the phone. So, it ended up taking so long to get diagnosed and so long to get antibiotics that the infection took a real toll on my lungs, and over three months later I'm still taking extra medication to breathe. So, telemedicine: pros and cons.

      Probably a bit different situation from HeLa. In this case, what they do is they identify their target antigen from the patient, take the best one and produce it in other cells (hybridoma cells or CHO cells). They probably asked the patient to sign consent first when taking their blood. Hence, they took that info but the rest is their own techniques.
      In case of HeLa, the doctor take it from the corpse of a person without her or her family consent. Grow them and distribute them for research. They still selling HeLa on the internet per vial is around $500 (containing a million frozen cells) though has some variations.

    thankyou for humanizing the people behind the fight for a cure.
    hopefully, when this is all over, someone will make a documentary about them so we can all understand what a massive undertaking this was

    Do generic medicines follow those same naming rules? Or is it the PR department then? Because they're always pretty different, despite the fact that mixing them up is no big deal. And it also means that you basically have to remember two names for medicines, as patients will oftentimes just write the one they get the prescription for in their history. And like Zoloft vs Sertaline and Dexmethlephenidate vs Focalin. If these names are communicating information, they're not communicating the same info.

      Generics are often just named as the chemical name. Like I take dupixent, which is the brand name for dupilumab, a different monoclonal antibody. Or like, the generic for adderall is mixed amphetamine salts. Sentra line is the chemical name of Zoloft. Sometimes there are other brand names for different formulations of a drug (see Quillivant). But, doctors or people who deal with them will usually know what it is for common ones, or can look it up. Like, I work in behavioral health. If a parent tells me their kid takes quillivant for adhd, I know that’s a formulation of Ritalin, which is the chemical methylphenidate. Or vyvanse is an ampethamine, so it would act similar to others in that group. Before I knew, I just lo9ed it up.

      Yes and no. There are nomenclature guidelines, but older drugs were subject to older/nonexistent guidelines. The simpler the molecule, the more likely it's just the chemical name. Some are named per class (-statin suffix for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, -ol suffix for beta blockers, -pril suffix ACE inhibitors). Note that generic names aren't self-evident. You'd need the IUPAC name that really describes what it is.
      Also, generic medicin =/= generic names for drugs. The first is about patent law (can still hold a copyrighted brand name), the latter is about nomenclature.
      example:
      brand name: lipitor
      generic name: atorvastatin.
      IUPAC name: (3R,5R)-7-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-phenyl-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)-5-propan-2-ylpyrrol-1-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid
      hence why we use generic drug names.

    I would like to have heard him talk about whether or not he thought his employer's business model created a bias in medicine in general towards treating people with drugs. And also, is that a problem? And how might the way we pay for things be changed to reduce this effect, if it exists.
    The other questions you asked him were interesting.
