"Preliminary results from in vitro testing indicate that Ribavirin concentrations that inhibit ribavirin-sensitive viruses do not inhibit replication or cell-to-cell spread of the novel coronavirus."

In other words, Ribavirin doesn't work against SARS.

People are less concerned when "treatment" is available. My understanding is that Ribavirin is the least expensive of the new anti-virals.

The steroid part of the Hong Kong treatment protocol is probably doing some good.
