    More good news! This time from the treatment side. UK's Recovery trial has been amazing, and really makes you wonder if we had an early trial program like that, too. We had too few trials (and too many trials of HCQ long past the point of new information because of you-know-who).https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1360011174662705157 …

    We'll take another 14% reduction in death rate (4% absolute) for hospitalized patients with covid-19, on top of dexamethasone. More progress in treatments 👍 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.11.21249258v1.full.pdf … https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/02/world-s-largest-covid-19-drug-trial-identifies-second-compound-cuts-risk-death … by @kakape pic.twitter.com/101ttDZvHK

        We’ll look back at RECOVERY as one of the big wins during this pandemic. I hope that we can promote more science like this during the next emergency.

        Yes and if you haven't seen this- check out Janet Woodcock's talk last month at UCSF/Stanford Summit on what she would want done differently w/ US covid-19 trials so that they would have been more effective. It's the 1st talk after the welcome session. it'https://cersisummit.com/recording/

        Replying to @zeynep

        As we’re coming to terms with the realization that this virus is not just going to be all gone as soon as we get everyone* vaccinated, I’ve been wanting to know more about treatments. Will we live in a world where infection is rare, and if we get sick, treatments are effective?

        *Of course, not everyone will be vaccinated, even in the wealthy countries, and in countries with fewer resources...

        I'm featured in this front page article in the LA Times. Note that my advocacy for this drug comes not from a single trial, but from 5 independent studies showing it is amazing effective against COVID. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-02-03/can-common-antidepressant-help-covid-19-fight …

        The UK did two things absolutely brilliantly: 🧪 Trials 💉 Vaccination In both cases, it was the NHS (one of my greatest loves!) that made it work. When the UK contracted test/trace to private sector, it was a disaster. Vaccination is going great as the NHS is leading it 👏👏👏

        And would have done/would do even better, if it got the funding it needs and deserved. Wish we could see the light on this in the US & UK.
