WASHINGTON (AP) — The pharmaceutical giant that makes a promising coronavirus drug has registered it as a rare disease treatment with U.S. regulators. The status can be worth millions of dollars in tax breaks and competition-free sales. Experts who have studied the so-called “orphan drug” program say Gilead Science’s request — and the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to grant it Monday — seem inappropriate given the rapidly expanding threat of the outbreak. But an analyst calls the filing “pretty standard.” Gilead did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday. The FDA said the disease fits the criteria for a rare disease at this point.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California is reporting what may be the first U.S. death of a person under 18 from the coronavirus. Los Angeles County said Tuesday the youth lived in the Mojave Desert city of Lancaster, north of Los Angeles. Public health director Barbara Ferrer says it’s a “devastating reminder that COVID-19 affects people of all ages.” Meanwhile, new cases of the virus surged around the state. A tally by Johns Hopkins University on Tuesday found California coronavirus cases have topped 2,500, with at least 50 deaths.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s hospitals have become the war-zone-like epicenter of the nation’s coronavirus crisis. Faced with an infection rate five times that of the rest of the country, health workers are putting themselves at risk to fight a tide of sickness that’s getting worse by the day amid a shortage of needed supplies. A “cacophony of coughing” fills packed emergency rooms, where rapidly multiplying number of patients pour in with the same symptoms: hacking, fever and shortness of breath. Hospitals are squeezing beds wherever there is space and doctors are told to use the same face masks over and over.

4:15 p.m. update:

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks surged Tuesday, sending the Dow up more than 2,100 points, its biggest-ever point gain, as Congress nears a deal to inject $2 trillion into the economy to mitigate damage from the coronavirus outbreak. The Dow’s gain of 11.4% was its largest percentage increase since 1933. Treasury yields rose in an encouraging sign that demand for low-risk assets was easing. The market has seen other big rebounds recently, only for them to wash out immediately. Investors say they need to see the number of new infections peak before markets can find a bottom.

12:30 p.m. update:

NEW YORK (AP)— New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sounded his most dire warning yet about the coronavirus pandemic, saying the infection rate in New York is accelerating and the state could be as close as two weeks away from a crisis that projects 40,000 people in intensive care. There are nearly 26,000 positive cases in the state with 210 deaths.
