TL;DR: Angiotensin II effectively increased blood pressure in patients with vasodilatory shock that did not respond to high doses of conventional vasopressors.

TL;DR: Aspirin use may be associated with improved outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, however, a sufficiently powered randomized controlled trial is needed to assess whether a causal relationship exists between aspirin use and reduced lung injury and mortality in patients.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors carried out complete autopsies on 44 patients who died with COVID-19, with extensive sampling of the central nervous system in 11 of these patients, to map and quantify the distribution, replication and cell-type specificity of SARS-CoV-2 across the human body, including the brain, from acute infection to more than seven months following symptom onset.

TL;DR: Using a Delphi process, an international panel of experts developed clinical practice statements on the respiratory management of COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure (C-ARF) in areas where evidence is absent or limited as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: As more is learned about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, some noteworthy conclusions regarding currently available ancillary “therapies” which may affect the natural history of the COVID-19 infection are drawn.
