Viagra can cure COVID-19 is a claim purported to be fact-checked in an Associated Press article. The article fails at demonstrating an absence of positive effect of Viagra on some of the respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, and some early studies appear to show a potentially helpful effect[1]. Therefore, the claim remains possible with some support.
