Melinda Gates, co-chairman of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, gave the Trump administration a D-minus for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

The emergency-use authorization, or EUA, for Gilead’s GILD, -0.15% remdesivir states that the U.S. government controls the distribution of the drug. It’s one of only two types of COVID-19 drugs to get an EUA since the pandemic began.
