Which is better? Husband is on day 3 of symptoms, tested positive yesterday, trying to decide if it’s worth the effort to go get the antibodies. We have to drive 30 minutes and the there is the whole infusion process.

Honestly, I would not take or recommend an antibody preparation unless truly needed for recovery. They are a product that comes from another living thing and it is always possible to have an allergic reaction (which can be managed) or for the patient's body to develop antibodies against the antibodies and they would never be able to use them again in the future. This has been known to happen with clotbusters like TPA and snake anti-venom.
If patient can get IVM or HCQ, I would choose them. If the patient is recovering, I would leave it at that. If there is no improvement than as a fall back, whip out the Antibodies.
Avoid hospital, don't let them isolate from family, don't let them give Remdesivir, don't let them intubate.
