I've recently lost a friend who had leukemia, but that wasn't what killed him. I've likewise seen where all sorts of people .1% of those who get the flu die, and it looks like over 2% with coronavirus die as well, but I'd hazard to guess that most are greatly weakend by the disease, but that's not what they die of either. After my stem cell transplant I was hospitalized a few times when I didn't feel that sick, but I was suffering from the same thing that killed most of the above.

That thing is pneumonia. Many with cancer, the flu, and all sorts of other diseases are weakened by those diseases, but they die of pneumonia.

I certainly can't say with any certainty, but it seems to me that we may already have a drug that would improve recovery from pneumonia, it's the same one that improves the recovery from radiation exposure. Think about it, it builds blood, all types of it. I'm certainly no expert, but I suspect that if you build the blood counts with healthy blood cells, your body may strengthen and beat the pneumonia.

Frankly, being of benefit in cases of pneumonia would be bigger than curing coronavirus because while coronavirus will run it's course, a vaccine will be developed to prevent getting it, but pneumonia will still be around and a killer of people with all sorts of diseases.
