Pharmaceutical giants will bury treatments in a thicket of patents, making them unaffordable to the world’s poorest

• Coronavirus – latest updates

Although there is every indication that treatments for coronavirus may soon emerge, the mere fact of their existence is no guarantee that people will be able to access them. In fact, Covid-19 is more likely to end in the same way that every pandemic ends: treatments and vaccines will be buried in a thicket of patents – and pharmaceutical companies will ultimately make the decisions about who lives and who dies.
