Since the first coronavirus outbreak of SARS-CoV in 2002, much research has been put in developing new drugs against the virus and examining the use of existing, FDA approved therapies that could be repurposed to also treat coronavirus infections.   These drugs fall into 3 general categories for mechanism of action; 1) antiviral, taking direct action against the virus; 2) anti-inflammatory, reduce immune related pathology during infection; and 3) supportive, treating life threatening complications.
