Description of the proposed additions or changes

Look over the entire manuscript. I suggested changing the title to take out "prophylactics," made some changes throughout the manuscript related to this, and added more effect sizes/p-values/confidence intervals from the cited papers to make it a bit quantitative.

@SiminaB there's a lot here -- would you be able to look through these responses? I need to reach out to some of the original authors to get their input so there are several To Dos for me (and @nilswellhausen) in here as well.

Monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the way we treat human diseases.
They have become some of the best-selling drugs in the pharmaceutical market in recent years [@doi:10.1186/s12929-019-0592-z].
There are currently 79 FDA approved mAbs on the market, including antibodies for viral infections (e.g. Ibalizumab for HIV and Palivizumab for RSV) [@doi:10.1186/s12929-019-0592-z; @doi:10.1146/annurev-immunol-032712-095916].
Virus-specific nAbs commonly target viral surface glycoproteins or host structures, thereby inhibiting viral entry through receptor binding interference [@doi:10.3389/fmicb.2017.02323; @doi:10.1080/21645515.2017.1337614].

@nilswellhausen do you know the answer to this?

As I said this section is outdated by now. I will try to get to this ASAP. Recombinantly expressed neutralizing antibodies such as REGN-COV2 (what former Pres. Trump got) are monoclonal. I think I need to do a better job saying that I focus on therapeutic antibodies and not the neutralizing antibodies that a person developes during an ongoing infection

Thanks @nilswellhausen! I truly know nothing about this topic, I think I learned a little background for when I was reading through your text last year, but that's it!

Small molecule drugs include drugs targeted at viral particles, drugs targeted at host proteins, and broad spectrum pharmaceuticals, while biologics include antibodies and interferons.
As results become available from additional clinical trials, we will continue to update this manuscript to keep pace with the current understanding of which therapeutics may be effective against SARS-CoV-2 or for COVID-19.
As we cover vaccines in a separate manuscript <!--cite it when available-->, we only consider therapies for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 in a very limited context here, for example when a drug is studied to see whether it can prevent infection or disease in recently-exposed individuals.

There is a mention of this citation towards the start too if you want to change it to a url

Several references need to be added as manual refs, but probably easier to do on a separate PR. Marking with comments for now.
