My guess is one of the monoclonal antibody treatments -and my further guess is that it's Regeneron's REGN-COV2 cocktail - it's been long enough in clinical trials to yield some results, and they just reached a deal for production / distribution with Roche the other day for overseas markets. Unlikely there'd be such a deal if it were turning out to be a dud.
I've long been hoping synthetic antobodies to be the "Silver Bullet" we've been waiting for - choose the right antibodies, and not only can you prevent the worst progressions of Covid-19, you can actually use it as a short-term prophylactic (almost like a vaccine) for high-risk people - medical people, at-risk people who've been exposed, etc , to prevent infections in the first place. Such a therapy would provide 2-3 months of immunity.
This could be great news (fingers crossed.)
p.s. - it's been in production for awhile now - done on spec, with the hope it'll work and be approved.

Yeah - my guess is equal parts "hope" and "guess" - personally, I don't care if it involves eye of newt from a witches coven - as long as it works.
Remdesivir was a bit of a "tin bullet" - it plus convalescent plasma and dexamethsone for late-stage ARDS are the current standard of treatment and while it helps, it isn't a cure - far too many people are still dying (and not being counted are those whose health is permanently damaged.)

I think its pretty clear at this point that efficacy is largely irrelevant.
So, hopefully the profit potential of whatever he will announce will be enough to override the zealous hatred of Trump. Itll also have to profit the "correct" people.
We shall see how it goes
