Clinical studies conducted by doctors in China, the company noted, suggest that anti-IL-6R MAbs may be used to treat COVID-19 patients who have lung damage and elevated IL-6 levels. Tiziana’s anti-IL-6R MAb binds the membrane-bound and soluble forms of IL-6R, depleting IL-6 levels in the blood. Excessive IL-6 is believed to drive chronic inflammation and is thought to be associated with the severe lung damage observed with COVID-19 infections.

As a general observation Victoria takes the most extreme attitude to laws and their enforcement of any Australian state.

Everything from water restrictions through to the current COVID-19 issues, Victoria tends to take it to a somewhat pedantic level.

No prize for guessing which state tried stopping couples seeing each other during the current situation. The same state that doesn’t want anyone learning to drive under current circumstances either.

Never understood the reasoning but there’s a far more commonsense approach to things elsewhere especially the smaller population states.
 
Despite his wealth, this did not mean [Branson] had "cash in a bank account ready to withdraw".

Four police officers have been killed in a serious crash involving a truck on a Melbourne freeway.

The collision happened on the Eastern Freeway near the Chandler Highway at Kew about 5.40pm on Wednesday.

The Victoria police commissioner, Graham Ashton, said two senior constables and two constables were killed. One senior female officer was killed, along with three male officers. One was relatively new to the force, Ashton said.

As an ex member and having a Daughter and Grandaughter in the job this feels terrible.
 
Very sad, it is always tragic when someone is killed at work, deepest sympathies.
 

Condolences to the families of all concerned.
