Most promising--by far--prospect on vaccine and antiviral front (which otherwise has offered only hype and retreads).

High priority to see EIDD-2801, or a combination of EDDD-2801 and remdesivir, in higher mammals.
Compound originally was developed by Plemper and co-workers at Emory as an anti-influenza agent.

Prodrug of beta-D-N4-Hydroxycytidine, which was developed by Flolovm Frolova, and co-workers at Emory as an in vitro anti-VEEV agent.

Important to note that entire development sequence--from in vitro antiviral agent, to orally available in vivo antiviral agent, to orally available in vivo anti-coronavirus agent--was funded by grants from National Institutes of Health (@NIAIDFunding; @NIAIDFunding).
