外企头条：美国疫情告急福特转产呼吸机

福特汽车周一表示，将与通用电气医疗合作，在美国密歇根州生产经FDA批准的呼吸机。福特表示，将在未来100天内生产5万台呼吸机，且将具备月产3万台的能力。

但是，业界普遍认为，要实现这一目标并不容易，企业转产其他类别的产品，除了生产线需要长时间准备，还面临供应链环节问题，例如制造呼吸机所需的专有材料，以及专业的生产人员。

3月22日，美国总统特朗普表示，将为通用、福特和特斯拉生产呼吸机开绿灯。一天后，FDA发布声明，为车企转产呼吸机等急缺医疗设备提供法律保障。

与此同时，美国联邦政府也曾与通用汽车就转产呼吸机进行谈判。但是，27日，特朗普宣布，美国政府停止谈判，他动用《国防生产法》授予总统的权力，要求通用汽车生产呼吸机。

根据美国上世纪50年代通过的《国防生产法》，总统有权在紧急状态时要求私营企业生产国防相关产品，并可控制这些产品的经销。

新冠肺炎治疗加速器合作伙伴3月30日宣布向华盛顿大学、牛津大学和拉霍亚免疫学研究所拨付2000万美元赠款，用于资助三家机构开展的临床试验，以开发针对新冠肺炎疫情的高效免疫疗法。

The partners in the COVID-19 The rapeutics Accelerator announced on March 30 grants of $20 million to three institutions―the University of Washington， University of Oxford， and La Jolla Institute for Immunology―to fund clinical trials in order to identify highly potent immunotherapies for the COVID-19 pandemic。

此外，一些政府和慈善机构最新宣布的赠款已注入加速器的初始资金。

In addition， newly announced funding from government and philanthropic donors has added to the Accelerators initial funding。

新注入的资金将有助于加速器继续资助针对新冠肺炎进行的“老药新用”药物和生物化合物的研究。加速器需要更多资金，对潜在的有效疗法进行进一步研发和规模化推广。

The additional funds will allow the Accelerator to continue making grants to study repurposed drugs and investigate biological compounds for activity against COVID-19。 More funding is needed to move promising therapies through development and scale-up。

目前，尚无可用于预防或治疗新冠肺炎的广谱抗病毒药物或免疫疗法。

Currently， there are no broad-spectrum antivirals or immunotherapies available to prevent or treat COVID-19。

比尔及梅琳达・盖茨基金会首席执行官马克・苏斯曼表示，“通过新冠肺炎治疗加速器提供的首批赠款将推动针对潜在解决方案进行的研究，进而为下一阶段的工作提供可靠的科学依据和共享数据。”

“These initial investments through the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator will bring rigor to the study of these potential solutions。 The way forward will be informed by sound science and shared data。”said Mark Suzman， chief executive officer of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation。
