Viral RNA load as determined by cell culture as a management tool for discharge of SARS-CoV-2 patients from infectious disease wards.

TL;DR: Correlation between successful isolation of virus in cell culture and Ct value of quantitative RT-PCR targeting E gene suggests that patients with Ct above 33–34 using the RT- PCR system are not contagious and thus can be discharged from hospital care or strict confinement for non-hospitalized patients.

Association of COVID-19 inflammation with activation of the C5a-C5aR1 axis.

TL;DR: Results suggest that blockade of the C5a–C5aR1 axis could be used to limit the infiltration of myeloid cells in damaged organs and prevent the excessive lung inflammation and endothelialitis that are associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with COVID-19.
