In the study published on Tuesday, 12 monkeys were infected with the new coronavirus, and half of them were given early treatment with remdesivir.
Macaques that received remdesivir did not show signs of respiratory disease and had reduced damage to the lungs. (go.nature.com/2Yj9xq2)
Authors of the study also said the viral load, or amount of virus, in the lungs of remdesivir-treated animals was lower.
The authors suggested that remdesivir should be considered as a treatment as early as possible to prevent progression to pneumonia in COVID-19 patients.

From this week, were already giving it to humans along with India, Japan, S. Korea, EU in some cases. Gilead gave us a million free doses which were given to the states. Depending on usage rate, it'll run out this month or maybe July. Like a damn crack dealer getting you hooked. I haven't really seen much about what it costs or who pays going forward.
