Coronavirus – Fauci says an antibody could be ready by fall

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke with (wait for it)  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a YouTube event.

Some of Fauci’s remarks (via Bloomberg):
  • COVID-19 is very different from the severity of the 1918 virus
  • Monoclonal antibody drug could be ready for use by fall
  • No signs that face masks could cause harm to people

A little more on his timing remark …
  • by mid-to-late fall, early winter, we’ll know whether we have candidates that are safe and effective, and I hope and anticipate that we will have one or more.
  • If that’s the case, by the end of this year, beginning of 2021, we may have one or more candidate that is actually safe and effective. That being the case we can start distributing doses widely at that time.
