Route Fifty: When President Donald J. Trump fell ill with Covid-19 two weeks ago, his doctors gave him an experimental therapy that contains synthetically-produced versions of the body’s disease-fighting proteins, known as antibodies. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the developer, is still testing the therapy for safety and efficacy, and it is not widely available.
