Remdesivir seems promising, also variolation, also plasma therapy (IVIG). Currently the lockdown makes sense for one reason, to get something that at least makes it seasonal flu-deadly (about 5-10 times less than currently).

Accidental release of data for remdesivir showed no benefit. https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/23/data-on-gileads-remdesivir-released-by-accident-show-no-benefit-for-coronavirus-patients/ https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/23/data-on-gileads-remdesiv... Maybe the data wasn't ready for release, and the final version will show some benefit, but it's likely that remdesivir has little benefit. (Genuinely confused about why this got downvotes.)

  Thanks! Too bad :/ Last week it seemed promising... (I have no idea who would downvote your comment.)

Remdesivir seems far less promising now, unfortunately: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52406261 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52406261
