Vaccines, testing, masks, distancing, dominate #COVID19 discussions

But monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy has immense promise and are quietly being developed

New pre-print by @bart_haagmans et al. Note low inflammation in MAb treated group (hampsters)

Monoclonals offer another important advance to make the future of living along side this virus safer.

Of interest (keeping in mind this is a hampster model), RNA in the nose was not different in mAb treated. So possible might protect from disease but less for transmission..?

Any thoughts on transmission?

Interesting the differential between benefits seen in lung inflammation vs. little difference in RNA in nasal tissue.
