- dragonwriter 7y agoYes, it's possible that existing drugs are effective against it, alone or on combination. It's also quite likely (the norm, in fact, for viral diseases) that they aren't. It's not “we have antivirals we just have to find the right combination”, it's “we might get lucky and have a combination of an existing drug or combination of existing drugs that are effective”. As I said upthread we ought to be (and are) pursuing both approaches, vaccine and antiviral, not treating one as both certain and quicker and focussing exclusively on it, as another poster suggested upthread for antivirals.
