I wish that I had a link...but if memory serves me correctly I was reading that Pfizer was starting a phase 1 clinical trial on an experimental drug that was in development to treat SARS during the outbreak that fizzled out years ago. From my limited understanding, the virus that caused SARS and the virus that causes Covid-19 are similar in several ways and that this drug that was in development in anticipation of a massive SARS outbreak has shown activity in the lab against Covid-19 as well. I would think that something that was already partially developed that works against covid-19 would speed up the process of acquiring a viable treatment by quite a bit.
