NBC News: Trump receives experimental antibody treatment for Covid-19 diagnosis
NBC News (Erika Edwards)
President Donald Trump has received an experimental drug following his diagnosis of Covid-19, the White House said Friday, October 2.#2020.
"As a precautionary measure, he received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail. He completed the infusion without incident," Dr. Sean Conley, the president's physician, wrote in a memorandum.
The drug cocktail is a combination of two so-called monoclonal antibodies.
The treatment is meant to provide the body's immune system with a temporary, but immediate, boost to fight off the coronavirus.
Monoclonal antibodies (or, in this case, polyclonal because there are two in the cocktail) are made in a lab to mimic the body's natural antibodies. Antibodies act by recognizing specific germs — in this case, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 — and harnessing the immune system to fight them off.

The letter from the president's physician also said Trump has been taking zinc, vitamin D, the heartburn drug famotidine, a daily aspirin and a sleep aid called melatonin. All of those are sold over the counter.

Opinion:
Now the president can test, if his recommendations to fight the Covid-19 / "China-Virus" are valid.
The cycle from R&D to prescribing medication could be shortened. If President Trump, his wife & other infected come out of this healthy & maybe even stronger than b4, this could be a Hero Story, #Avengers-Style.
Movie Buffs think of #Spiderman's Peter Parker, having been bitten by a Spider & overcoming the disease, The Incredible #Hulk, #Batman or other #Marvel / Stan Lee #Characters.
This experience might humble the New Yorker Businessman like William Hurt's character in the 1991 movie "The Doctor".

This pandemic has affected so many. We must continue to protect ourselves, our families, and communities."
The Stock market reacted immediately;
Tweets confirming negative tests for Vice President Mike Pence and his wife & economic data eased the sentiment.
Coming out of this experience stronger could help the
#2020 election & spare us another "not so presidential" #debate.
It could lead people to observe more hygiene & to be more #respectful.
This could unite America and the World.
The 3rd of October 2020 marks 30 years of #German #Unification.
