Various media outlets have been reporting that none of the antivirals China has (they might have ones that aren't approved here) have worked. I did see an article on Reddit where an experimental one was going to be flown in but it's unlikely they would have enough to do much more than an efficacy trial. The problem with antivirals (other than they don't usually work unless you take them before you get sick) is they have severe side effects, some of them can cause breathing difficulties which isn't something you want to give to somebody with pneumonia.
