Article: David Lat, Eyeing Hospital Discharge, Talks About His Battle and Donating Blood to COVID-19 Research
https://www.law.com/nationallawjournal/2020/04/01/how-grateful-david-lat-eyeing-hospital-discharge-is-contributing-to-covid-19-research/?slreturn=20200305191816
I ended up receiving an IL-6 inhibitor called Kevzara, a combo of the antimalarial drug called hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic called azithromycin, an IL-6 inhibitor called Tocilizumab, an IL-6 inhibitor called Clazakizumab, and an antiviral called Remdesivir, he said.
But asked whether the NYU Langone physicians have told him that the drug therapies used had helped him turn the corner and survive, Lat said that they hadnt said thatbecause they themselves dont know.

Hope some of docs are interviewed for their impressions. Apparently, some of them believed they might help. But it sounded like Lat was in really bad shape initially.
