If Regeneron does the trick (for now) it would goo

It makes sense (given how early they are at the infection stage) given the role the cocktails does - a bit of anti viral, a bit of cytokine fighting. If they were moderates (and not mild) maybe the decision would be different as its a different problem.
Remember the Pres is a special case - he gets tested daily. So he has early detection on his side. If only we all could - but that is probably not going to happen realistically. So he was always going to be a mild case to start with. It will depend how the illness progresses.
For LL - we are still in there - its a long way to the end folks. Just in the USA alone, if we assume a 60% infection rate to get herd immunity (if there is such a thing) thats about 190MM people will have to get this virus. And just like the cold or flu - we will all get it. Today we are at 7.4MM cases. So that difference in cases - how many of those will be Moderate (not mild)? That might need a different approach (ie. is it a viral disease by then , or is it more of an immune disease - thats where test kits like DrBP's comes into play - to give the right treatment for the right problem).
On a final note - here is why people complain about poor execution. Business is all about execution. An average idea, well executed will generally beat a great idea poorly executed. Good news, at least we have allowed the BOD to raise about $75MM for pay. Thats going to help trails go faster for sure.
