However it is equally true that Labour (eg the Treasury) were fully aware of impending financial disaster but did nothing. They should be chucked out of power for a generation as well.

Like a virus made by some hardcore hackers, the way viruses work in general are pretty complex. Sars-Cov-2 in particular in certain situations has the ability to 'hide' from the anti-virus software ( immune system) with a cloaking mechanism.
The code can be processed to work out what it looks like and how it's interacting with the host. With that they can work out what existing drugs will target it (or develop new ones). Just like a computer virus, there's many points where it can be stopped or slowed down.

There's currently 600+ trials running around the world to see which drugs work the best.

This is quite a good NHS page that tries to disseminate key information about what's going on ( only has a few trials mentioned though).
