If a cocktail of drugs is proven to decrease fatalities from, say, .4% to .2%, and also decreases the odds of lifelong lung damage, then later (Sep? Oct?) could be a better time to undertake risky activities than now.
This is just a guess, but it's what I am basing my decisions on for my family and me, but I am curious to hear others’ views
I think there is no question that with experience the medical community is getting better at handling the disease. As far as effective therapeutics that would cut the fatality rate in half, I have doubts that this will happen in the next six months, let alone sooner. Even if we had such a drug today, testing it and manufacturing it in quantity will take longer than that. It would be great if it happens, but I would not plan on it.
