TL;DR: Asymptomatic patients may be contagious and thus a potential source of transmission of COVID-19, and more than half of the patients without any symptoms present with CT abnormalities.

TL;DR: The potential therapeutic role of extracorporeal cytokine removal to treat the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 is discussed and expectations are especially high for new cytokine-targeted therapies, such as tocilizumab, anakinra, and baricitinib.

TL;DR: This pilot study explored a relation between GI symptoms, intestinal inflammation (determined by FC) and faecal SARS-CoV-2-RNA in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 who did not require intensive care measures.

TL;DR: Public interest indicated by RSV indices can help to monitor the progression of an outbreak such as the current COVID-19 pandemic and was very consistent across European countries but also holds true for the US.

TL;DR: In this paper, a preclinical mouse model that displays key features of human NASH (hereafter, NASH mice), was used to detect the hepatic accumulation of CD8 T cells with phenotypes that combined tissue residency (CXCR6) with effector (granzyme) and exhaustion (PD1) characteristics.
