Hiding in Plain Sight: an Approach to Treating Patients with Severe COVID-19 Infection	2020-03-20		.txt	text/plain	1052	72	49	Patients with COVID-19 infection are at risk of acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) and death. Clinical trials are needed to determine whether this drug combination might be used to treat patients with severe COVID-19 infection. We believe that investigators in China and elsewhere should undertake studies of patients with severe COVID-19 infection to determine whether targeting the host response with widely available and inexpensive generic drugs, like ARBs and statins, will improve their chances of survival. Convincing evidence of the effectiveness of this treatment would suggest a syndromic approach to treating patients with other emerging infectious diseases, like Ebola and pandemic influenza, as well as everyday illnesses, like sepsis and pneumonia (19) .
