While the evidence so far is weak, hospitals are stocking up just in case - so if it turns out it does work, they’re ready to go ahead with it.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a dangerous drug with nasty side effects ranging from merely uncomfortable to lethal in some individuals (heart arrhythmia being perhaps the nastiest).
