Leronlimab an experimental AIDS drug is having some success in treating those with Covid-19. In New York, this experimental drug was given to two critically ill patients on ventilators and in ICU. After receiving two injections of Leronlimab, these two patients were able to breath on their own, be removed from the ventilators and taken out of intensive care. Obviously this is a small sample size of just two people, but it’s also encouraging. The drug was given to a total of seven people, with the two mention being taken out of ICU and two more showing significant improvements. This doesn’t sound like a silver bullet to save everyone, but it could help sickened people and flatten the curve.
