Finally, a clear-cut answer from a remdesivir study: It has a modest benefit in some hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Like AZT for HIV, it opens a door. But there's still a long road ahead to find a powerful treatment that helps most everyone survive. sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/l…

To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40 (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again): PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home. If you are healthy, you could be spreading COVID.
