We have no proven early therapy for covid-19 to prevent its progression, especially in people in a higher risk category (eg age >70, male, obesity).
Fast forward.
Time will likely make a difference in our approach to how @POTUS would be treated.
By Dec/Jan monoclonal antibodies will probably be proven safe and effective. 2 Phase 2 trials have had encouraging results in outpatients. More randomized trials are ongoing.

Inhaled β-interferon also has had promising data and larger RCTs are pending.

If you're interested in how AI grew up over the past 15 years, and where it's headed, this new book tells the story in a riveting, page-turner way. In the new Ground Truths with @scmallaby Image
In 2010, when @GoogleDeepMind was formed, well before deep learning was taking hold, @demishassabis predicted AGI by 2030 and called out the use of agents
@GoogleDeepMind @demishassabis This is pretty striking

People age 70+ should not be taking aspirin at any dose for prevention. Results of randomized trials show higher risk of all-cause mortality, major bleeding events and deaths from cancer. p 153, SUPER AGERS bookImage
President Trump takes 325 mg aspirin/day. The randomized trials tested 75-81 mg/day. His doctors recommended low-dose aspirin for heart event prevention. That recommendation is ill-founded based upon best evidence in older individuals.
