> I'm glad that people are doing these experiments, but without a convincing "why" or mechanism of action, it's risky to imagine that an existing pill will neatly fit into this novel virus's way of life and death. As a datum[0] we still don't understand how tylenol works. Quite a lot of drugs are developed without meaningful or correct understanding of the underlying mechanisms. If it is effective in a petri dish we should test it on people - if it works in people we should give it to the infected. Given a known safety profile there isn't a lot more logic needed here.
