Gilead is also trying the same with remdesivir. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scmp.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;science-research&#x2F;article&#x2F;3048579&#x2F;coronavirus-case-us-treated-experimental-gilead-drug-may-spur" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scmp.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;science-research&#x2F;article&#x2F;3048579&#x2F;c...</a><p>Sample size of 1, but in both cases, the patient appears to have gone from very sick to normal vitals in 48 hrs.<p>The really nice thing about lopinavir&#x2F;ritonavir if it works will be... we&#x27;ve already got a lot of it.<p>Edit: Both cases being the separate administrations of remdesivir &amp; lopinavir&#x2F;ritonavir.

Does this mean that those already on these drugs are more resistant to the new variant of coronavirus, or more susceptible because their normal regime of medication isn’t able to remediate?

Too small a sample to make any statements about effectiveness.

How did they discover this? When a new virus appears, do labs test all the existing drugs against it to check if something sticks?
