So, it looks like there may be a decent amount of efficacy in a monoclonal antibody treatment for Covid 19. If clinically proven then this is a very interesting development, it's basically a chemical that binds to the surface of the virus and makes it unable to attach itself to the receptors on our cells effectively rendering the virus impotent. In advance of getting a vaccine this could give us a way of giving people a much higher chance of surviving an infection and therefore reducing deaths in the short term. It's exciting work and something I wrote about back in March, if correct it's a real breakthrough.
