Agreed, but wasn’t remsivider the drug president went on? It probably has some value, but its not looking good as a fix for covid. This new antiviral sounds promising, at least what little has been reported so far. Not sure how many folks have trialed it for side effects yet, but the ones that have seem to tolerate the it well so far
In a word, no. President Trump took an experimental blood anti-body 'transfusion', which did the heavy lifting. The Remdisivir helps damaged lung tissue caused in the fatal stages of CoVId-19. The drug in this study doesn't let the disease get that far. I suspect Pres. Trump took it to appease Dr. Death as a 'favor'.
