Josie Gold became ill with COVID-19 in late-February. After a virtual appointment with a Oregon Health & Science University physician, Gold learned her only treatment option was remdesivir, because other therapies could dangerously interact with her routine prescription medications. So, she came to the OHSU COVID-19 Therapy Clinic. (Courtesy)
