Has anyone heard of Favipiravir (aka Avigan)?
It looks like a drug that’s produced and prescribed primarily in Japan. Of course, nothing’s for certain these days - but it looks like it has some effect against COVID-19.

It’ll have a good chance to be tested in Japan.
Japan hasn’t had a surge or a peak in the outbreak.
Can’t help but feel they’re in for a bad time. Maybe not.
Some of our states haven’t had a surge or peak either, and are considering re-opening.
So I’m watching Japan to see what they can expect.
