Gilead hasn't had their application for resdemivir exclusivity approved. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/no-a-biotech-hasnt-used-loophole-to-lock-down-coronavirus-drug-yet/ It's been designated an "orphan drug" but they also applied for the seve-year exclusivity in 2014 to treat Ebola, and that still hasn't been approved.

Casual Encountess posted:is there any cyberpunk that extensively takes place in non-traditional cyberpunk settings like, paris, the middle east, africa, or other points? Most of Paolo Bacigalupi's works fall into my definition of cyberpunk.

Sagebrush posted:i was gonna post his stuff but urban thailand and the deserts of america are pretty traditional cyberpunk settings. I thought for sure the Shipbreaker books were set in Africa, and remembered one specifically mentioning Nairobi, but they're all three set in the US and mention New Orleans. Oh well.

I guess converting a sleeping bag into a hobo vest counts as cyberpunk.
