TRUMP'S COVID TREATMENT:
- Dexamethasone is a tried-and-tested steroid that saves lives by calming the immune system, but it needs to be used at the right time. It is not a drug normally given in a "mild" stage of coronavirus
- Remdesivir is a more experimental drug. First developed as treatment for Ebola, it works by confusing the virus as it looks chemically similar to some of the raw materials the virus needs to replicate. There is no evidence that lives have been saved with this drug
- Mr Trump also took monoclonal antibody therapy made by the company Regeneron. The antibodies physically stick to the coronavirus so they can't get inside the body's cells
