The "we're doomed" narrative has a whole different flavor if it's really "we're doomed, except we can prevent this with face masks and maybe-prevent and maybe-treat it with three different drugs that are all widely available and in mass production"

Remdesivir and Ritonavir make sense because they are HIV drugs, both HIV and coronavirus (and SARS) are retroviruses, and these drugs are antiretrovirals that were found to have significant effect against SARS.

Chloroquine is a malaria drug and that's a surprise, but kudos to somebody for being up on the literature because there it is in Pubmed, Chloroquine might do something on coronaviruses. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14592603-effects-of-chloroqu...

Also, no story about coronavirus drugs is complete without a shout-out to this legit researcher, whose story is "I gotta get to Wuhan to test these drug candidates before this outbreak is over." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00190-6
