There’s no miracle cure for the novel coronavirus disease right now and that’s why the best thing to do to avoid the condition is to self-isolate for a while longer. You’re not just buying yourself time, but also giving researchers time to evaluate the various drugs that are used in clinical trials to determine whether they can alleviate COVID-19 symptoms, prevent complications, and hasten recovery times. Hydroxychloroquine may or may not work, but it’s not a game-changer for the time being, no matter what you hear on TV. The promising drug remdesivir isn’t a miracle cure either until the science says so. But we already have a game-changing therapy right now, one that’s already saving lives in trials and that could become the main COVID-19 therapy that can fix various problems until a vaccine is ready. It’s antibody-filed plasma from patients who have survived the disease.
