IN SUMMARY: Online health seekers are using the Internet differently since the pandemic. Treatment options are researched more, and people are using, but not relying, on social media to gather information on what’s best for THEM. I’ve spent the last three months gathering information on how online health seekers are using the Internet. My research points were Google, Twitter, and various websites that provide metrics on a variety of topics.

It remains largely unknown why the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is so infectious and importantly, how it was able to jump from animals to humans in the first place. The answer may lie in the genetic code of the virus, which scientists at Duke University have found contains several silent mutations that affect protein folding. These mutations may have allowed for the interspecies transmission – or host “jumping” – of the virus, with the initial leap speculated to have occurred from bats

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.

As the development pipeline for new drugs continues to grow, biopharmaceutical companies are re-evaluating how to best manage and balance resources across an increasing number of development projects and complex clinical trials. There are two approaches that can be used to speed a drug from development to clinic faster: timeline compression and parallel processing, but only one that considers the benefits of integrating clinical supply into the overall drug development process.
