Suddenly, antibiotics can fight viruses. That's new.
I understand that the potential resulting pneumonia would respond to antibiotic therapy but I have found that a Z-Pak is almost as useful as a bag of M&Ms. I refuse the offer of it and demand something else because if I don't I will be back to the doctor in two weeks sicker and in need of something that actually works.
If CORVID-19 gives you pneumonia, it’s most likely going to be viral. In that case, antibiotic therapy is going to do sod-all (if you develop bacterial pneumonia, it would make sense).
I never knew how many epidemiologists were on Facebook...

What I've heard is that the pneumonia is a result of your own immune system going into overdrive and attacking your lungs.
Again nothing that antibiotics will fix.
