Did you know BigPharma doesn't believe in telling you price of their drugs?

In my next story, I asked Roche to tell me how much Cipla is supposed to sell Tociliuzumab for, given the shortage & blackmarket. They refused.

Here's Gilead on Remdesivir: $2340

#Gilead not disclosing quantities.
#Roche won't tell me the price.
#Novartis won't tell us the price.

Thread: The Indian health ministry will hold a press con today, 29 days after the last press con!


54th* press con, 9 Jul 2020.

Live tweets here:
thread reg absence of press cons
Press con off to an unsurprising start, puffing up of chest & lulling off complacency:

"India is 2nd largest population in world... and /THUS/ we are doing relatively well. Look at this graph... What do I mean by this... ... deaths per million is better in India than others."

THREAD: There's been some funny spin around PM Cares, last few days. VERY FUNNY actually :-D

In May, @PrachiSalve11 and I reported that there's at least $1.27bil in PM CARES, that we know of.

Check out the coordinated spin programme here!! Haha...
Various right wing accounts been spinning this argument that PM Modi has bought more ventilators in this pandemic than.... "Opposition bought in 70 years."

Hahaha... but we didnt have a pandemic for 70 years???

Been looking at pvt hospital bills... What strikes me is...

... the precision with which they charge Rs 4500 for the RTPCR COVID test. Not one Rs more, so they are compliant with the gov. But they sure won't charge one Rs less either!

And then we expect "self regulation"?
In general: Private sector billing seems very arbitrary. Even among (what I think are) comparable hospitals, prices for the same things can be very different.
Anyway: If you have good health today, be really thankful. You dont want to see the breakup of these bills. Whether these prices are rightful or wrongful... you dont want to be paying this kind of $$.
