So far, this is the best produced human NEWS story on a local level, albeit a large television market (LA). I'm pretty sure the reason why it was 45 minutes into the one-hour newscast (8:00 CA time) is they were still producing the story and couldn't get it on any earlier... but then it topped their news at their 9:00 hour I believe as it was replayed.

Hopefully other television stations will now begin to follow up on Leronlimab .

This patient, Samantha Mottet (55), had fever and extreme fatigue in mid-March and a week later was admitted to UCLA Medical Center . They apparently tried two other treatments to get her off a ventilator which did not work. It was after that her doctor and family according to the report approached Dr. Otto Yang who is leading a trial of Leronlimab . This makes me wonder if Mottet's doctor requested having Leronlimab , as opposed to this patient being one of the ones brought in for the trial. Something about the timing and remember what Dr. Jay Lalezari said in that April 1 article:

Lalezari said that doctors treating COVID-19 patients can request the use of Leronlimab by applying to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its EMERGENCY use as treatment for COVID-19.

Also wondering now if her doc is Lalezari himself, lol
