Very cool article summarizing potential of remdesivir as potential therapeutic vs Covid19. Submitted 16-Feb-2020, published 6-Mar-2020, and as of today 15-Mar-2020, it is the third-most-recently published article about remdesivir vs covid19 as indexed by google scholar [1].
interesting notes: remdesivir was given to the first reported covid19 patient in the usa under a compassionate use exception. Impossible to say if it helped, but the patient's condition did improve the next day.
> "Treatment with intravenous remdesivir (a novel nucleotide analogue prodrug in development) was initiated on the evening of day 7 (illness day 11), and no adverse events were observed in association with the infusion." [2]
