Here in the US, it’s puzzling why new #COVID cases keep coming. We’ve passed 1M. There is good news: New Zealand has crushed #Covid_19 and is back to work. They can even get takeout! I was so excited, I stopped by @dunkindonuts. Still, wish we could solve the problem in the US

/1 Last week, I had a few minutes before a Mind Meld with Ian Bremmer to chat about why COVID-19 affects the elderly and why boosting your immune system matters so much.

/2 I wanted to add a little more context on remdesivir. The effectiveness of its treatment is debated. One study, run under the auspices of the US NIH, seemed to show remdesivir reduces time in hospital (11 days vs 15 days to recovery with no statistical reduction in deaths).
/3 Meanwhile, a Chinese study of similar quality said there was no benefit of the drug. While we wait on larger study results that are underway, remdesivir is now the new standard against which others will be compared.

Important! Largest study yet on #Covid_19 fatality shows top risks:
1. Age, BY FAR the highest
2. Cancers of the blood
3. Male
4. Obesity
5. Diabetes
I will say it again: Aging is a disease & it is treatable. Yes, treatable. 1/n #healthcare tinyurl.com/yahsd3vq @bengoldacre
Striking finding: smoking makes little difference to #Covid_19 fatality, so it can’t explain bias in male deaths (What can? Hint: males age faster). 2/n
For smoking, error bar on the hazard ratio chart is close to zero, so smoking is probably not protective either, as some have speculated. tinyurl.com/y8l2qpom 3/n
