I found a very interesting article from today how Dr. Davey and his team are testing the Covid-19 drugs.

So typically what we do is we have these plates that have 384 little holes in them. And each of those little holes has some growth medium, and then we add a drug. And then on top of that, we put the virus. In a couple of days, we ask, did the virus get into those cells or not? And from that we can find small molecules or drugs which can block the virus infection.

How many drugs do you expect to test?

We can test thousands a day. I'm expecting to test probably 20,000. We’ll keep testing until we find something that works.

So they start testing on Friday and with some luck they can see Brilacidin working (assumed they are actually testing Brilacidin) on Monday or some days after. Exciting!
