Why are they not testing Maurice iwu's drugs too

While back he said the U S and FG contacted him about his drugs, may be they have their findings and decided to just allow him rest

Lopinavir and Ritonavir are potent 2nd line Anti-retroviral regimen. Hopefully it should work effectively in treating Covid 19.
