Furthermore,\u0000the conditions that resulted from the COVID-19 virus are analysed, focusing on\u0000the fiscal stimulus and public health protocols, and comparing them in relation to\u0000both the United States and France. The focus shifts to the drugs\u0000hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir, exploring the conditions around the drugs,\u0000analysing and comparing the actions institutions have taken within the respective\u0000nations, as well as between the nations. The institutions that are key in both\u0000nations include the presidential offices and the representatives of the presidents.\u0000The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, the CS-COVID\u0000council that was created to handle the protocols and regulations in France, The\u0000decentralised Federal government of the United States, and the centralised\u0000Unitary State of France are critical in the comparison of the institutions and\u0000actions relating to the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":174058,"journal":{"name":"Alternate Horizons","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134208385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
