In the US, we don't have reliable data on vaccination status of hospitalized, or even children and COVID hospitalization (despite its rarity). We can't sort through waning efficacy, variants and boosters—people are trying to reverse engineer boxplots in screenshots from Israel.

Also, I want to highlight this remarkable thread from
@michaelmina_lab from November of 2020 which pretty much tells us where might be in August of 2021. As he keeps saying: this is a textbook virus, and we're not fully mobilizing our scientific knowledge. https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1328355643300917249 …pic.twitter.com/rQE3ioq4hU

Also this (read the thread: not an argument against clinical trials). There's a remarkable but hard-to-turn-into-bullet-points process between existing knowledge (especially of mechanisms), data (systematic or not) and policy (judgment/trade-offs/timing).https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/1430739705255981063 …

Which ties to this paper on airborne transmission in Science just out. (See thread below). I think the key question is: how can we learn from all this and what can we do to improve that interaction between prior knowledge, new data and timely policy?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1431248145497927687 …

Yes. It may take time to build the proper data infrastructure we need, but we should do whatever we need to do in the meantime—last year the remarkable
@COVID19Tracking showed what was possible with leadership, initiative and, yes, blood, sweat and tears.https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1431249211308265473 …Show this thread -
Once again the systematic that or we need comes from the United Kingdom. And if it holds up, it explains so much of the current crisis. As suspected, and suggested by prior data, Delta may well be more severe too—read the thread, only for the unvaccinated though.https://twitter.com/kallmemeg/status/1431392586946813963 …

My wife received Dexamethasone after she was admitted to the hospital with low blood oxygen saturation and developing Covid pneumonia. The combo of the steroid and Remdesivir helped her recover inside of a week.

I appreciate your work. If you are going to address the lack of data--why aren't you also addressing the lack of data around reinfection? It is very low and absolutely should be a part of the conversation.

Only so many words, the piece is about the general lack of data. This applies to a lot of things.

Isn't it well known that corticosteroids can help stop a cytokine storm? I was in hospital recently and got given them for a (non-covid related) cytokine storm.

Maybe read the piece?
