Chinese scholars have made important progress in anti-2019 new coronavirus drug screening

Recently, the Wuhan Institute of Virology/Biosafety Science Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Emergency Prevention and Control Drug Engineering Technology Research Center of the Academy of Military Medicine of the Academy of Military Sciences conducted a joint study, and achieved results in drug screening for the suppression of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Important progress. Related research results were published under the title "Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro" ("Remdesivir and chloroquine phosphate can effectively inhibit the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro") In Cell Research ("Cell Research"), an internationally renowned academic journal with independent intellectual property rights in China.

The study showed that on Vero E6 cells, Remdesivir (GS-5734) has a half effective concentration of 2019-nCoV EC50=0.77 uM (micromole per liter), the selection index SI is greater than 129; Chloroquine phosphate (Chloroquine) ) EC50=1.13 uM, SI is greater than 88, indicating that the above two drugs can effectively inhibit 2019-nCoV infection at the cellular level, and their effects in humans have yet to be clinically verified.

Remdesivir (GS-5734) is a nucleoside analogue, currently in the Congo (DRC) phase II and III clinical studies for the treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Chloroquine phosphate (Chloroquine) has been used for the treatment of malaria since the 1940s and later for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The preliminary results of the above two drugs effectively inhibiting the 2019 novel coronavirus infection at the cellular level have previously been reported to relevant national, provincial and municipal departments in various forms. In order to serve the prevention and control of the epidemic, the two parties jointly declared: Among the above-mentioned drugs with anti-2019 new coronavirus effects, we will not apply for related patents for the drug chloroquine phosphate that has been marketed in China and can be fully supplied independently, in order to encourage related The enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in the prevention and control of the epidemic; for the drug Remdesivir, which is not yet on the market in China and has intellectual property barriers, we applied for a Chinese invention patent on January 21 from the perspective of protecting national interests in accordance with international practices ( Anti-2019 novel coronavirus use), and will enter the world's major countries through the PCT (Patent Cooperation Agreement) route. If relevant foreign companies intend to contribute to the prevention and control of the epidemic in our country, we both agree that if the country needs it, we will not require the implementation of the rights claimed by the patent for the time being. We hope to cooperate with foreign pharmaceutical companies to contribute to the prevention and control of the epidemic. force.

Refugees who sheltered Edward Snowden in Hong Kong are granted asylum in Canada

The Sri Lankan family is part of a group that let the former N.S.A. contractor stay with them as he fled U.S. espionage charges.

HONG KONG — A Sri Lankan couple that sheltered former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden when he fled to Hong Kong in 2013 have been granted asylum in Canada along with their two children, a nonprofit group said.

Supun Thilina Kellapatha and Nadeeka Dilrukshi Nonis arrived in Toronto on Tuesday with their children, Sethumdi and Dinath, according to For the Refugees, the group that sponsored their asylum application. They will travel to Montreal and settle there as permanent residents, the group said.

The family had been in limbo for years after being denied asylum in Hong Kong in 2017. For the Refugees had long lobbied Canada to accept them, saying they faced persecution and deportation in Hong Kong, a Chinese territory with about 10,000 refugees from all over the world.

“We are thrilled beyond measure to see this long ordeal finally come to an end for Supun, Nadeeka and their children,” Marc-André Séguin, president of For the Refugees, said in a statement.

“After over a decade in limbo they can now begin to build new lives in Canada, reunited with the rest of their family and free of the constant fear and worry that marked their existence as high-profile asylum seekers in Hong Kong,” he added.

Snowden arrived in Hong Kong in May 2013 after leaving his job at an N.S.A. facility in Hawaii with thousands of classified documents about vast U.S. surveillance programs. He initially stayed in a high-end hotel, where he gave an interview to journalists from The Guardian who also published some of the documents.

The bombshell revelations became the center of global attention, dominating headlines for weeks. Snowden soon decided to leave the hotel out of safety concerns, and one of his lawyers arranged for him to stay with some of his clients in Hong Kong’s community of refugees and asylum seekers, where he thought no one would look.

Facing U.S. espionage charges, Snowden fled about two weeks later to Russia, where he was granted permanent residency last year.

“This is the best news I’ve heard in a long, long time,” Snowden said on Twitter on Wednesday after the family’s arrival in Canada was announced.

A Filipino refugee who also helped Snowden, Vanessa Rodel, was granted asylum in Canada in 2019 along with her daughter, Keana Nihinsa, whose father is Kellapatha.

Another “Snowden refugee,” Ajith Pushpakumara of Sri Lanka, remains in Hong Kong. Mr. Séguin’s group called on Canadian authorities to expedite Pushpakumara’s asylum application.

TODAY: Four Snowden refugees arriving in Canada

TORONTO – Four of the Snowden refugees are currently on a plane flying to Canada and are expected to land in Toronto this afternoon. From there they will travel to Montreal, where they will start their new lives. Supun Thilina Kellapatha, Nadeeka Dilrukshi Nonis and children Sethumdi and Dinath are hours away from becoming permanent residents of Canada.

They join Vanessa Rodel and her daughter Keana (who is also Supun’s daughter), who were accepted into Canada as privately-sponsored refugees in March of 2019. One of the Snowden refugees, Ajith Pushpakumara, remains in Hong Kong where his safety is still at risk.

For the Refugees, the non-profit sponsor for these refugees, is today renewing its call for the Canadian government to expedite processing of Ajith’s application. Applications for all seven refugees were first filed in January 2017, and Ajith has now been waiting on this bureaucratic process for almost five years.

“We are thrilled beyond measure to see this long ordeal finally come to an end for Supun, Nadeeka and their children,” said Marc-André Séguin, president of For the Refugees. “After over a decade in limbo they can now begin to build new lives in Canada, reunited with the rest of their family and free of the constant fear and worry that marked their existence as high-profile asylum seekers in Hong Kong.”

“We have no doubt that Ajith’s application will ultimately be accepted, as these others have been, but every day he remains in Hong Kong puts him at risk,” said Séguin. “It’s time for Canada to cut through the red tape, and finish processing his application.”

As a private refugee sponsor, For the Refugees is fully funded by small donations. The non-profit is responsible for providing for this family over their first year in Canada, while continuing to pay for Ajith’s expenses while he waits for his application to be processed. To make a donation to support the family in their resettlement, please visit fortherefugees.com. These brave refugees need your support.

BACKGROUND: in 2013 Edward Snowden revealed the scope of illegal surveillance being undertaken by his former employer, the NSA. Following these revelations, he found himself stranded in Hong Kong and pursued. Seven brave refugees originally from Sri Lanka and the Philippines agreed to take him in, and provide him shelter. They have had a target on their backs ever since.

For more information please call Marc-André Séguin at 418-264-8239 or Ethan Cox at 514-662-0070.

Photos of the family departing Hong Kong are available to media outlets from photographer Jayne Russell at jaynerussell@me.com, and an advisory has gone out on CNW regarding a photo opportunity when they land in Canada.

Deputy Pima County Attorney Found Dead In Apparent Accident

Deputy Pima County Attorney Chris Straub, 64, was found dead Wednesday, in what appears to be an accident during a fishing trip, according to a news release from the county.

Straub's wife reported him missing when he did not return from a fishing trip to Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona on Tuesday, the county said.

Straub, who worked for the Pima County Attorney's office in Tucson for more than 30 years, was found in an area of thick overgrowth by deputies with the Coconino County Sheriff's Department, according to the news release.

Although it appeared that Straub suffered a fatal accident, his death is still under investigation, the county said. An autopsy by the Coconino County Medical Examiner is planned to determine his cause of death.

"Our thoughts and condolences are with Chris' family and everyone who loved him," said Pima County Attorney Laura Conover in the release.

Straub began his work with the county attorney's office in 1990. He formerly served as advisory counsel to the Pima County Board of Supervisors and most recently was the supervising attorney for the office's Public Records Unit.

"This is devastating news," said Pima County Board of Supervisors Chair Sharon Bronson in the news release. "Chris was a lovely man who ably and wisely advised the Board of Supervisors as the Chief Civil Deputy for more than 8 years. He and I shared a love for the outdoors and we would often discuss our most recent adventures before board meetings. He was a consummate professional who was devoted to public service, spending his entire career as a public lawyer, including more than 30 years with Pima County. All of us in Pima County will miss him greatly."
