Before starting the study, patients were tested to see whether they had produced COVID-19-fighting antibodies. About 45% of them had already made those antibodies on their own, while 41% had not made enough antibodies to log a reading. The cocktail seemed to do best in the latter group, with a statistically significant effect on virus levels seven days after treatment compared to patients on the low dose or placebo, the company said in a statement Tuesday. And the higher patients’ virus levels, the greater their reductions....The drug’s effect on viral load in these patients, known as seronegativity, appeared to dovetail with improvement in symptoms—those on placebo took a median of 13 days to recover from symptoms, but those on the high dose took eight days and those on the low dose took six days.

(Trump was given one 8g/high-dose dose, so he should be good to go in 6-8 days?)
