Why are they trying to get Remdesivir, an experimental medication?

Had he been on Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin?

It’s anecdotal and does not work. So said the Pharisee.

You forgot to mention zinc sulfate prevents virus replication in the cell.

“Why are they trying to get Remdesivir,...”
Apparently this is used when the person is ‘extremely’ sick it is kind of the ‘end of the road treatment’. Heard this on one of the Dr. Oz segments.

The first person diagnosed in the USA (Washington State) was treated with Remdesivir and improved greatly.

“Dr. George Diaz: About a week into his course he got worse developed pneumonia. At that point given the reports we had gotten out of China… At that point we elected to give him… the experimental Remdesivir, antiviral medication. And within 24 hours he improved significantly. This was quite encouraging and he improved and thereafter remained without fever and felt much better. Over the next few days he improved to where we thought he could be discharged at home under the care of the local health district.”
