     summary: Well-done, randomized clinical trials should be performed urgently to test potential therapies, including HCQ. The antimalarials hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) have demonstrated antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro and in small, poorly controlled or uncontrolled clinical studies (1) (2) (3) .

     summary: Direct standardization by age requires estimation of age-specific risk from different populations, which are then applied to a standard population, such that resultant differences in overall risk cannot be due to differences in population age structure. In their analysis, the authors show that adjusting for differences in population age structure substantially reduces the observed differences between country-specific CFRs.

     summary: Interleukin-6 blockers have been used to treat cytokine storm in patients with other causes of cytokine storm (3), and tocilizumab has been suggested for immunotherapy for severe patients with extensive lung lesions and elevated IL-6 levels (3). As a result, we wonder whether tocilizumab would have affected the IL-6 levels we observed and whether it might have improved this patient's disease course, especially because others have reported that as COVID-19 progresses to its middle and late stages, the expression of inflammatory cytokines is related to the severity of the disease (4).

Respiratory viruses infect millions of persons each year (about 10% of the population) and cause tens of thousands of deaths in the United States alone (10) .

Our findings suggest that a multipronged approach may be needed in which trusted physicians promote vaccine uptake against a backdrop of innovative approaches and channels to combat vaccine misinformation, consistent with the body of literature of strategies to address vaccine hesitancy (39).

     summary: Given the lack of data from properly powered RCTs, and the need to inform regulatory decision making regarding continued access to convalescent plasma, both the FDA and the Mayo Clinic performed retrospective, indirect evaluations of efficacy by using EAP data, hypothesizing that patients who received plasma units with higher titers of neutralizing antibodies would have better clinical outcomes.

      flesch: 37
     summary: A central question for institutions and clinicians is whether their obligations to patients require them to offer EUA products. Limiting access to EUA products exclusively to patients in trials may be justified on 2 grounds: first, uncertainty about whether the product's benefit-risk balance is truly favorable, and second, a desire to minimize recruitment problems stemming from nontrial access.

     summary: Sex-related biological data may also be critical to investigate the contribution of sex hormones to sex differences in inflammatory response. Sex differences in disease progression may also be linked to estrogen-induced decreased expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (5), which acts as a functional receptor for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) to enter host target cells.

     summary: Tools for routine assessment of mental health status, such as Zung's self-rating depression scale and self-rating anxiety scale for self-monitoring (55-57); training health care workers to identify physical, behav-ioral, emotional, and cognitive indices of distress in themselves and colleagues; and regular visits from mental health clinicians to assess the well-being of frontline providers are needed (18, 31, 58) . This support should target resilience and stress reduction training, ensure that clinicians' basic needs are met, provide routine opportunities for social connection, and proactively normalize and deliver mental health care to clinicians.

     summary: We need robust data to guide these efforts, but better information must be coupled with urgent and effective action to decrease exposure, susceptibility, and limitations in health care to achieve the desired results. Establishing and nurturing trust and partnerships within affected communities will be critical because diminished trust in health care borne from a legacy of unethical experimentation, including the Tuskegee study, has been identified as an important contributor to vaccine hesitancy among African Americans (8, 9) .
