COVID Antibody Drugs From Regeneron, Eli Lilly Raise Concerns About Supply Shortages
Powerful drugs recently authorized by the FDA are expected to help patients suffering from the earliest stages of COVID-19 avoid the most severe symptoms. President Donald Trump even once referred to Regeneron's antibody treatment as a "cure" for the virus.
But there are still some issues that have yet to be resolved.
The US, like several other developed nations, has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to secure supplies of Eli Lilly and supplies of the Regeneron.
Officials are working to establish sites to infuse the medications to patients with mild to moderate disease who had until recently been advised to stay home.
Both the Eli Lilly and Regeneron monoclonal antibodies mimic proteins the body normally makes to block the virus from entering cells; they were cleared by the FDA earlier this month. They’re the first drugs authorized specifically for non-hospitalized patients, and are targeted at those at risk of severe symptoms because of older age, obesity and other chronic conditions.
Experts told Bloomberg that while Trump touted Regeneron’s therapy after receiving it in October, infectious disease doctors noted that the evidence supporting the drugs’ use in Covid-19 is not yet definitive. Yet there’s hope they could help the country battle its worst-ever coronavirus surge, as average daily infections soared to almost 170,000 over the last week. About 90,500 Americans were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Thursday.
Coronavirus-beset hospitals around the US are grappling with more infected staff, said Allison Suttle, chief medical officer at Sanford Health, a nonprofit health system based in South Dakota. Treatment that keeps patients from being admitted to overcrowded hospital wards is offering a tantalizing reprieve, she said.
The US has paid Eli Lilly $375 million to lock in supplies of its antibody medication - the amusingly-named "bamlanivimav", equivalent to 300,000 vials of the antibody, bamlanivimab, over the next two months. The government has also awarded Regeneron $450 million to make and supply enough doses of its antibody cocktail for another 300,000 patients through the end of January. Both companies intend to scale up supply for the U.S. next year.

Microsoft's low-code tools: Now everyone can be a developer
Microsoft's business applications platform is opening up, allowing non-programmers to fill the 'developer gap'.
Excel always used to be the tool that business users would pick up to write code. Its formulae and cell structure made it easy to chain together results to build what ended up as complex applications, analysing data statistically and numerically. It wasn't only for numeric data, either, as it could quickly be used as a simple tabular database, with filters and queries to help extract information. It might not be SQL, but it did the job.

The same was true of tools like Access or Lotus Notes, building complex applications from very little code. You didn't need to be a programmer to solve a problem; all you needed was a familiarity with the tools built into your office suite. Macros and formulae, and features like Visual Basic for Applications, let anyone be a developer.
Those ideas never went away, although some of the underlying technologies have evolved, with JavaScript an increasingly important development tool, along with modern scripting languages like Python. The Web 2.0 movement pushed many developers and platforms into thinking about their APIs, and an API-first approach to code allowed prepared blocks of code to be treated as building blocks on graphical canvases. These new no-code tools sat beside existing low-code tools, allowing workflows to be constructed quickly from APIs and event-handling blocks.

Number of Detentions at Anti-Lockdown Protest in London Rises to 155, Police Say
More than 150 people were detained in London during a protest against coronavirus restrictions, the Metropolitan Police Service said in a Saturday statement.
A nationwide lockdown entered into force in the United Kingdom on 5 November, as the country was witnessing roughly 25,000 COVID-19 positive tests per day. After the lockdown ends on Wednesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to impose further coronavirus restrictions.
"The Met has made 155 arrests while policing a number of demonstrations in central London today, Saturday 28 November. Those arrests were for offences including breaching coronavirus regulations, assaulting a police officer and possession of drugs", the statement said, adding that the operation will continue into the night.
Earlier, London police said that there had been over 60 arrests at the Saturday demonstration.
Several hundreds of people gathered on Saturday in central London to express their protest against coronavirus-related restrictions. Some of the demonstrators clashed with police officers.
"Officers made a number of early interventions to prevent people from gathering and to urge people to go home. As part of this, coaches transporting protestors into the capital were intercepted and those who did not turn back and go home were either arrested or issued with fixed penalty notices", the city police said in a Saturday statement.
According to Scotland Yard, people were warned on Friday that they risked facing law enforcement action if they attended the upcoming protest.
"Today's enforcement action is a direct result of those individuals deliberately breaking the law and at times, targeting our officers with aggression and causing disruption to the road network", the police said, urging people to stay home.
Anti-lockdown protests have been repeatedly held in the UK since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. In early November, police detained as many as 190 people during one of such demonstrations.

Forensic Computer Scientist: Up to 120,000 Questionable Votes in Pennsylvania
Yet more expert testimony that tries to explain the overwhelming amount of evidence that points to vote fraud, ballot tampering, and a stolen election in Pennsylvania
As the Third Circuit Court of Appeals rules against President Trump’s attorney’s in the matter of vote fraud and ballot tampering in Pennsylvania, the path is cleared for the mountain of credible evidence in support of those claims to finally be brought forward in a matter of constitutionality to the United States Supreme Court.
A critical piece of evidence was brought forward at a hearing in Gettysburg Wednesday. Gregory Stenstrom of Delaware County, self-identified as a former commanding officer in the Navy, a forensic computer scientist with expertise on security and fraud issues, and a poll watcher, alleged this week that 47 USB cards used during the state’s Nov. 3 election have gone missing.
He also stated that as many as 120,000 votes cast in the election should be called into question, based on his examination of the evidence and his expertise in forensic computer science.
“I personally observed USB cards being uploaded to voting machines by the voting machine warehouse supervisor on multiple occasions,” Stenstrom testified. “This person is not being observed, he’s not a part of the process that I can see, and he is walking in with baggies of USBs.”
Stenstrom suggested that the cards very well may have been used in ballot tampering actions, adding illegal votes to the state’s vote count. He also charged that there was a complete lack of procedural oversight on how state election workers handled ballots.
“In all cases the chain of custody was broken,” Stenstrom said. “It was broken for the mail-in ballots, the drop-box ballots, the Election Day USB card flash drives. In all cases they didn’t follow any of the procedures defined by the Board of Delaware County of Elections.”
Stenstrom also testified that law enforcement personnel, who were on scene during the ballot processing and tabulation processes, failed to act after he reported the mishandling of ballots.
“I literally begged multiple law enforcement agencies to go get the forensic evidence from the computers,” Stenstrom said. “It’s a simple process. It wouldn’t have taken more than an hour to image all 5 machines. That was never done despite my objections and that was three weeks ago.”
Pennsylvania – which moved forward in initiating the vote certification process Tuesday – is one of several critical battleground states where the Trump 2020 Campaign has charged voter fraud and ballot tampering.
Pennsylvania awards 20 electoral votes to the winner.
