So I guess I don't understand what the 'sympathetic use' exception even means. Because, y'know, I'm wholly ignorant of this.

So trying to add some stuff up here, am I correct in saying that doctors are 'approved' to prescribe any drug on this hypothetical 'list' of known treatements for a disease if that disease is diagnosed? But they're ONLY allowed to prescribe from that list unless they can find some sort of exception?

And so in this case, by utilizing the sympathetic use exception (which again, seems very open ended), they can effectively prescribe it? I mean...practically speaking given that we have no hypothetical list for a novel virus anyway, doesn't this just serve to put this ON the list, whether the FDA officially says so or not?

Is this little more than a CYA measure from the FDA that doctors are going to wink and nod at before firing these tablets out by the hundreds of thousands?
