Back to work with the Coronavirus?

Hello, I am a 56 year old male who just had my left lung removed on February 3rd 2020. I underwent a 7-hour major surgery to drain excessive infected fluid that was present after I suffered from double pneumonia. Now my wife is going back to work as a waitress and I am really concerned and scared because of this coronavirus outbreak. Are there any medications or treatments even if it's a clinical trial that may help me if I happen to contract this virus? Also, my daughter loves with us and happens to be 3 months pregnant and that is my other concern as well for her and the baby.

Thank You.
Sincerely, Matthew Frederick

The first thing you should do is get vaccinated if you have not already done this. If you get sick with COVID, you can get the monoclonal antibody infusion. Keep your eyes open for the Merck and Pfizer pills that may come out soon
