Fujifilm shares fall after report Avigan not showing clear efficacy in some coronavirus trials
Shares of Fujifilm Holdings Corp fell on Wednesday after Kyodo news reported that so far there has been no clear evidence of efficacy for its drug Avigan in treating the novel coronavirus in some clinical trials. The data reported to Japan's health ministry by hospitals treating people showing mild or no symptoms raises doubts about whether the drug can be approved by the end of this month as sought by Japan's government, the report said, citing unidentified sources. The government has not changed its plans to promptly seek approval for Avigan if its efficacy and safety can be confirmed, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Wednesday.
ReutersCORRECTED-A tale of two Japanese drugs in tests to fight COVID-19
In the global hunt for coronavirus treatments, a Japanese antiviral medicine known as Avigan has won plaudits from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and $128 million in government funding. Camostat, a 35-year old pancreatitis drug made by Osaka-based Ono Pharmaceutical Co, has captured the interest of scientists in Japan and overseas with little fanfare or state assistance. The two compounds are among dozens undergoing testing around the globe and illustrate how the race to develop treatments and vaccines is still wide open despite politicians such as Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump promoting the potential benefits of certain drugs.

Coronavirus drug hopefuls are cheap to make but may be in short supply
Drugs being re-purposed in hopes they will help against COVID-19 cost little to make but may prove challenging to produce in quantities needed for a pandemic, a drug pricing expert said. "Any pharmaceutical company manufacturing any treatment currently in clinical trials against coronavirus needs a clear plan to upscale production massively," Andrew Hill, a University of Liverpool research fellow, told Reuters. In a study released Friday in the Journal of Virus Eradication, Hill and five other researchers, including Howard University chemist Joseph Fortunak, examined the cost of manufacturing medicines in recent or ongoing COVID-19 trials.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 Review: A deliberately difficult street-shooter
The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a strange camera. It's built around a rangefinder design, with an offset optical viewfinder that can swap to an EVF, but its LCD screen is hidden against the body of the camera. Despite the rangefinder design, which can't zoom or change framing through the OVF, it can swap lenses. It can shoot video, but with the aforementioned fold-out screen, it's difficult to monitor or frame your shots. This is a camera really build for people nostalgic for Leica rangefinders, and looking for a camera built for one thing: street photography. If that's what you want, you're probably already lusting after the X-Pro3, for everyone else, it's hard not to recommend the more flexible X-T3 over this camera.
