Honored to present at combined medicine & surgery grand rounds @UCLAHealth today & a privilege to highlight the incredible work done by the UCLA #COVID19 front line. Also packed in a review of the evidence basis for COVID therapeutics & discussed COVID recovery.
A lot to cover, and admittedly, I haven’t been that nervous about a presentation in a long time. I’ll share some slides here, starting with a summary of #COVID19 therapeutics.
Reviewing the body of evidence is always a task, even if the last time you did it was a week ago. You’ll get >100,000 results in PubMed if you search for #COVID19. In one year, there are about as many results for COVID as there are for influenza over 30 years 😳 
New manuscripts are constantly being published, so this summary might end up looking completely different a few months from now...Many studies are ongoing, on these drugs and others.
Let’s start with steroids 🙂
Remdesivir 😐
Baracitinib❓
Convalescent plasma 🤨
Antibody cocktails 🤷🏽♀️
Ivermectin 🙄, lopinavir/ritonavir 👎🏽, and HCQ 🤢
Supportive care is my true love 😍 (in the ICU at least) and remains the mainstay of treatment. Another thread on that coming soon.
