A California doctor featured in the Netflix documentary Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak claims to have found a potential cure for COVID-19.

Dr. Jacob Glanville, operator of San Francisco-based Distributed Bio, said in a tweet that he and his team have “generated extremely potent picomolar antibodies” that are “blocking the novel coronavirus from infecting human cells.”

This is not a vaccine, but a very potent anti body that lasts in the body for 8-10 week.

Great stuff. Anything the government sends my way I'll take with open arms.

Can't wait.

Any time I read that a doctor is an entrepreneur it makes me raise an eyebrow when they say they have a miracle cure. It suggests the doctor is even more concerned with the profit motive than other doctors and concerns me that they're hyping a product rather than recommending a medicine.
