Right. All you regular Joes out there, don't be afraid, go get some coronavirus. Then simply check yourselves in to the Presidential Suite at Walter Reed with a treatment team led by specialists from Johns Hopkins, who will give you Regeneron's experimental dual monoclonal antibodies, Gilead's remdesivir, and a full course of IV steroids to prevent the cytokine storm and subsequent ARDS.
One should bear in mind that Week #1 is far from the most dangerous week in the course of a COVID infection, and none of the above medications ameliorates the hypercoagulability associated with COVID-19. Steroids may help to prevent acute respiratory failure, but they might increase the virus's already high risk of causing a serious blood clot, such as a DVT, PE, heart attack or stroke. I'll have the vaccine, thank you very much.
