Good news: Remdesivir is almost 100% effective at stopping all known strains of influenza ("A" in a single dose, "B" within 3-5).

Bad news: Remdesivir is going to cost $500/dose, so it'll be too hopelessly expensive to use for non-life-threatening cases until the patent expires ~9 to 11 years from now.
