- Abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic is moving at a rapid rate, both in global transmission and in our knowledge about the disease. Health authorities across the world are scrambling to delineate best practices for everything from appropriate personal protective equipment, to antiviral therapy, and ARDS management strategies. It that context, Nicola et al. present an excellent consolidation of what we currently know about the disease and what evidence we have to support particular management approaches [1]. They offer an evidence-based summary of the known epidemiology of the disease and the preventative measures being used to slow transmission, including social distancing, school closures, and quarantining. They also review the current treatment recommendations for those with severe disease, including a brief discussion of experimental treatments.
