This whole thing is disgusting and more people had better wake up.

One, this has gone on already to some degree with MERS and SARS.
What was found? Hydroxychloroquine. RNA polymerase inhibitors (anti-vitals) — just like are being used now.
And another one Chlorpromazine better known as Thorazine. Not sure why it’s not used now.

Two, why is this starting now? What different drugs do they think they’ll find?
This has been Fauci’s job for 36 years. They knew about SARS and MERS but never followed through in determining the best drug to treat it if an epidemic were to occur.
I stress that was Fauci’s job for which he had 5 billion a year to spend.

"Dr Bruce Aylward, from the World Health Organization, said remdesivir was the only drug that showed any signs of effectiveness, after he visited China."
He saw it in China, so it must be true!

Fake news because the 3 drug cocktail many doctors are using has been shown to be quite effective and safe for most the population.

From https://www.nature.com/articles/s41422-020-0282-0
I trust Nature more than the BBC, the following quote is informational:
"Nitazoxanide, a commercial antiprotozoal agent with an antiviral potential against a broad range of viruses including human and animal coronaviruses, inhibited the 2019-nCoV at a low-micromolar concentration (EC50 = 2.12 μM; CC50 > 35.53 μM; SI > 16.76). Further in vivo evaluation of this drug against 2019-nCoV infection is recommended. Notably, two compounds remdesivir (EC50 = 0.77 μM; CC50 > 100 μM; SI > 129.87) and chloroquine (EC50 = 1.13 μM; CC50 > 100 μM, SI > 88.50) potently blocked virus infection at low-micromolar concentration and showed high SI (Fig. 1a, b)."
