This is one of the reasons why Japan is carrying on almost like normal. No lockdowns, no bars or restaurants shut. They instead have targeted testing and drugs like this one.

A Japanese drug company has begun the final stages of human trials for its flu therapeutic for treating coronavirus, it announced Tuesday.

Fujifilm's Toyama Chemical branch makes a drug called Avigan, which is approved in Japan for stopping the flu virus from replicating in the body.

Researchers with the company think it may well have the same antiviral effect against the virus that causes COVID-19.

Avigan, also known by its generic name, favipiravir, has already fared well in its first two rounds of clinical testing, and Fujifilm has ramped up its production of the drug in anticipation that it could be the first proven treatment for the infection that's sickened more than 164,000 people worldwide

I think you may have had a little copy / paste snafu with the link. This one was probably it.

The liberals who want to see maximum suffering and economic collapse aren't going to like this drug. Unless Trump says it won't work. :laugh:
