The initial phase is viremic and is optimal for treatment with anti-viremic drugs that target viral replication in distinct parts of viral replication cycle e.g. protease inhibitors like Lopinavir/ Ritonavir and medications that containerize the COVID particles e.g. hydroxychloroquine. This is supplemented by drying inhalers e.g., Breztri or ipratropium bromide that decrease COVID rich secretions going into the lung alveoli.
