Coronavirus: San Bernardino County preparing for some businesses to reopen - KABC-TV

Posted: 06 May 2020 06:37 PM PDT

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY (KABC) -- San Bernardino County officials have signaled they're ready to reopen some businesses later this week, if certain approvals come from Gov. Gavin Newsom, as expected.

But not all businesses will reopen, and officials remind the public that the process will be slow and methodical, with businesses deemed to be low-risk opening first.


"The low-risk businesses are going to be the retail outlets, and probably lodging," explained Curt Hagman, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, who added that places like hotels won't be operating the same as before the COVID-19 pandemic.

"You're not going to have the breakfast buffet anymore."

Hagman said San Bernardino County officials have set aside funding to help small businesses get back on their feet. These funds will be used to help businesses become "COVID compliant."

Hagman explained that the funds could be used to help businesses purchase plexiglass barriers to help with social distancing and hand sanitizing stations to help slow the spread of the virus.

"We want to use a carrot and not a stick so to speak, to help our residents and businesses to get on their feet as fast as we can."


Hagman outlined possibilities for restaurants as well, although he cautioned that inside service won't be allowed right away.

"I see that coming in either phase 2.5 or early phase 3, which we're hoping to do," said Hagman. "Obviously a lot of them are open for takeout and delivery, but now can we set up some outside tables?"

Hagman outlined ideas that were recently brought up by a local mayor.

"I had a mayor come up to me suggesting half the tables inside (be open) and half in the parking lot. And with the nice weather, we can be six feet apart and we start with that. Those are the types of very pragmatic things that can bring people together."

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has a special meeting planned at 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon. It is expected the board will reveal specific plans for some businesses to reopen, once guidance is given by Gov. Newsom.

LA County officials announce some businesses, public spaces can reopen with safety precautions Friday

HPAPI Drug Manufacturing Trends - Contract Pharma

Highly potent API (HPAPI) drugs make up a growing percentage of the small molecule drug development pipeline and this group of products is growing faster than the overall small molecule segment, 1 largely due to their usefulness in cancer treatments. Many of these drugs have accelerated timelines for approval and commercial development, which can be challenging for drug developers to keep up with. On the front-end, new technologies such as in-silico prediction tools contribute to shortening candidate selection, 2 while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought a first candidate into clinical development. 3 On the back-end, regulatory drug approval timelines are being increasingly shortened: when analyzing drug approvals in 2019, almost three-quarters of drugs approved (71%) were approved under Priority Review. 4 A related trend is increasing competition in the oncology field, with 80% of new IND’s now belonging to small, emerging or virtual biotech companies. 5 These firms o...
