program, on this gilead sciences stock rose today.nt for covid-19 getting a coveted regulatory designation but it has one advocacy group up in arms. this is bloomberg. ♪ scarlet: we saw shares of gilead sciences rise today after its forrimental treatment the coronavirus got preferential treatment from regulators, which could result in a tax break. we are talking about the fda giving that drug the orphan drug designation. what exactly does that mean? >> orphan status is usually reserved for drugs for rare diseases that only affect 200,000 people or less. along with tax credits you mentioned, it comes with seven years of exclusivity, meaning that gilead would be the only one to make or sell this drug for the next seven years. there are over 400,000 cases of the new coronavirus around the world. these numbers are changing by the minute. technically, you could still consider this an orphan disease in the u.s.. groupe consumer advocacy public citizen is criticizing them for seeking this status, saying they should not profit from the epidem

with gilead their experimental drug doesn't go after the immune system, it goes after the virus itself. so were hoping by having both of these trials available to our patients who are in critical need now that there will be some message of hope that comes out of these clinical trials in the next week to month. >> and i quickly ask you how you are doing on pte, the personal protection equipment piece as we hear there are people's sewing facemasks in parking lots of hospitals out of fabric that was used for sheeting and other issues in hospitals and blood shortages, tell me how you're doing. >> there running an almost military -like operation out of a command center that is in constant munication with all the leadership of the hospitals in the outpatient clinic. because of this it's incredible level of coordination and communication with the twice-daily phone calls, all of them across the whole system we are able to balance resources for now and are not out of supplies. however we share the national concern that something must be done to provide more ventilators and more pte. that has to

but you're also looking at the therapeutic like chili gilead. the other interesting thing is these antimalarial drugs that are being tested to see if it can treat coronavirus. it's certainly not certain yet but there are some that are ramping up production and in some cases that could be the right treatment. we sought to be certain and tested out and be very cautious but it's encouraging to see some hope coming. >> al talk to me about tech stocks. we talked already about microsoft and netflix, those companies that are due it doing relatively well. you dug a little deeper for some new name. >> yes, and our colleague eric had a story up this weekend, like you say you get the usual suspects, the gaming stock, netflix, that stock is up year to date, i think it's important at this point to go the second and third derivatives of people who might or industries who might benefit, we are doing this virtually, zoom video communication stock is up over 100% year to date, i think there's some other cloud infrastructure stock that people should take a look a

according to axial's foster city ace gilead may have violated federal law in a rush to begin clinical trials in china on a potential treatment. instead of waiting for federal approval on drug exports and a statement gilead said we believe our limited shipments to china were made in compliance with all applicable laws including u.s. law. >>> coming up coronavirus concerns hitting congressman a few representatives now in self quarantine. the contact one had with president trump. >>> coming up a legend in the south bay has passed away. how former mayor susan hammer's champion of diversity and art still of on to this day. >>> mrs. walker. michael vasquez! come over here. i've heard such good things about you, your company. well, i wouldn't have done any of it without you. without this place. this is for you. michael, you didn't have to... and, we're going to need some help with the rest. you've worked so hard to achieve so much. perhaps it's time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. >>> let's take you back live t

gilead says the overwhelming demand forced them to put remdesivir on hold for compassionate use.other drug, hydroxychloroquine, has shown promise with coronavirus, but patients like those with the autoimmune condition lupus are now seeing dangerous shortages. some people are stocking up on hydroxychloroquine right now even though they don't have any symptoms. >> please, i urge everyone, please do not do that. >> reporter: but help could soon be on the way. tomorrow new york state will start clinical trials of two drugs. those on the front lines who need help themselves say it can't happen fast enough. >> help this drug be made more available to those who are in need before it is too late. >> reporter: the fact that doctors are having such a hard time getting these medications when they're sick shows just how critical this situation is, because they can't help anyone else until they get better themselves. norah? >> o'donnell: carter, thank you. chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook joins us now. jon, good to see you. >> norah, nice to see you. >> o'donnell: the surgeon genera

and gilead's remdesivir we should hear about the that in political as well. as for why we're not seeing this make an impact on a broader basis probably has to do with fact that maybe these aren't being deployed so widely and we don't know which ones are going to work. >> thank you and we look forward to the outstanding and incoming ceos of abbott labs, both on with jim cramer tonight at 6:00 p.m. five minute testing. scott gottlieb former fda commissioner calls it a potential game changer zblncht president trump officially signing the $2 trillion relief bill into law friday, but what's next from lawmakers? hi, kayla. >> hi, sara. the money from that historic bill is just starting to be unlocked this week even so, the federal government is keeping its options open for other ways that it can help the economy from relaxing regulations to potentially exepmpting things from tariffs there is also talk about what could be included in a fourth phase of stimulus funding from congress even as congress is out of session until april 20th one specific thing that will need
