How Remdesivir Moved From Back Shelf to Best Hope for Treating COVID-19
This study showed that a five-day regimen is as effective as 10 days–that’s important, doctors say, since it could mean shorter stays in the hospital, which could alleviate some of the burden on the health care system. “Of course we will have to wait for the final review of all the data, but it would be very nice to have an anti-viral that’s efficacious in this terrible illness,” says Dr. Aruna Subramanian, a clinical professor of medicine at Stanford and an investigator on the study. “At least we know that we can help patients with this, and that’s really the bottom line.”

The clinical observation of a patient with common variable immunodeficiency diagnosed as having coronavirus disease 2019
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in the Wuhan region of China.1 SARS-CoV-2, known to cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a beta coronavirus with structural similarities to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).1,2 Because of the rapid spread of the disease, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020.1,2 The spectrum of disease severity ranges from asymptomatic to life-threatening with complications such as end-organ damage and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

How Allergists Can Use Social Media to Counter False Information on Vaccines
Measles was officially declared eradicated from the United States in 2000. Unfortunately, this status was temporary with measles outbreaks currently impacting multiple countries. In 2019, the World Health Organization listed vaccine hesitancy a top-ten global health threat.1 Ever since Edward Jenner developed the world ’s first successful smallpox injection, vocal segments of the population have resisted vaccines. Two original themes of the 1800’s persist among today’s anti-vaccine advocates: misguided perception that vaccines cause more harm than the diseases they prevent and the association of mandatory va ccine pr...

A possible role for B cells in COVID-19? Lesson from patients with agammaglobulinemia
An epidemic of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has become the focus of scientific attention.1 The high infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 and rapid rise in the number of patients affected reflects the lack of preexisting immunity as reported by the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019). The clinical presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is variable, ranging from lack of symptoms to severe respiratory distress and multiorgan failure req uiring intensive care unit admission and mechanical ventilation.

Smell dysfunction: a biomarker for COVID ‐19
ConclusionsQuantitative smell testing demonstrates that decreased smell function, but not always anosmia, is a major marker for SARS ‐CoV‐2 infection and suggests the possibility that smell testing may help, in some cases, to identify COVID‐19 patients in need of early treatment or quarantine.This article is protected by copyright.

All Your Coronavirus Questions, Answered
One of the worst symptoms of any plague is uncertainty—who it will strike, when it will end, why it began. Merely understanding a pandemic does not stop it, but an informed public can help curb its impact and slow its spread. It can also provide a certain ease of mind in a decidedly uneasy time. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the COVID-19 pandemic from TIME’s readers, along with the best and most current answers science can provide.
A note about our sourcing: While there are many, many studies underway investigating COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-19, the novel coronavirus that causes the illn...

What the U.S. Needs to do Today to Follow South Korea ’s Model for Fighting Coronavirus
The United States has a narrow window of opportunity to determine the fate of its coronavirus crisis. Will we end up looking like Italy or South Korea?
Italy’s health system has imploded under the strain of new cases and the shortage of ventilators means doctors must make agonizing decisions on who to save and who to let die. In contrast, South Korea acted swiftly and boldly to “flatten the curve”— the government did everything it could to slow the rate of increase and so reduce the burden of the illness on the country’s clinics and hospitals.
Right now, the number of new cases of confirmed in...

Are People With Asthma at High Risk for Coronavirus?
Every year, people with asthma brace for seasonal colds and flu, which can aggravate wheezing and coughing. Asthma, a common long-term lung condition, can cause difficulty breathing and shortness of breath and accounts for 9.8 million doctor visits and 1.8 million hospital visits in the United States per year.
This year, people with asthma also have COVID-19 to worry about. Like other coronaviruses, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system, has infected over 135,00 people and killed nearly 5,000 as of March 13. According to health officials, those most at risk are older populations or people ...

China ’s Draconian Lockdown Is Getting Credit for Slowing Coronavirus. Would It Work Anywhere Else?
As COVID-19 spread rapidly across China, authorities took an aggressive stance to fight the coronavirus. They were slow to respond to the outbreak—at first suppressing information and denying that it could spread between humans even as it did just that. But, as case numbers skyrocketed, Beijing went to extraordinary lengths to fight the virus, identified at COVID-19, in a campaign Chinese President Xi Jinping has described as a “people’s war.”
The most dramatic, and controversial, of the measures was the lockdown of of tens of millions of people in what is believed to be the largest quasi-quarantin...

Why Wearing a Face Mask Is Encouraged in Asia, but Shunned in the U.S.
Cheryl Man is usually the only one wearing a face mask on her New York City subway train. She notices this, but other people on the train notice, too. Usually she just gets odd stares from other commuters. But on Tuesday morning, when she was walking to school, a group of teens jeered at her and coughed in her direction.
“I felt very humiliated and misunderstood,” says Man, a 20-year-old student and research assistant who is ethnically Chinese.
Man also feels the stigma at her workplace, where she keeps her mask on. None of her colleagues wear a face mask, and some of them have asked her if she is sick.

World Health Organization Declares COVID-19 a ‘Pandemic.’ Here’s What That Means
The World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11 declared COVID-19 a pandemic, pointing to the over 118,000 cases of the coronavirus illness in over 110 countries and territories around the world and the sustained risk of further global spread.
“This is not just a public health crisis, it is a crisis that will touch every sector,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, at a media briefing. “So every sector and every individual must be involved in the fights.”
An epidemic refers to an uptick in the spread of a disease within a specific community. By contrast, the WHO defines a pand...
