@mara_carfagna #Draghi: "Il Sud è al centro dell'azione dell'esecutivo. Vogliamo che il Mezzogiorno torni ad avere la centralità che merita in Italia e in Europa".
@mara_carfagna #Draghi: "L'evoluzione delle politiche pubbliche per il Meridione è spesso rappresentata come una successione di inevitabili sprechi, di fallimenti. La storia economica del Sud nel 2° Dopoguerra è ben più complessa di come la vogliono o la rappresentano questi pigri pregiudizi.

2/ The news story in question from Friday came from a press release by #Sorrento Therapeutics, whose stock went up 153% on the news that it had found an antibody that provides “100% inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection of healthy cells after four days incubation.”

#Sorrento Therapeutics is claiming that their antibody is 100% effective and will cure the virus.... but didn’t study ACE2 protein coronas and did their study in vitro. You can take a relatively crappy antibody, saturate the virus, and show “100% inhibition.” #PumpandDump
