Previous Episode: Episode 14 - Coronavirus Special: The Future for General Practice
In our latest Hot Topics podcast Neal Tucker examines the emerging treatments for Covid-19 including remdesivir, antiplatelets, vitamin D and vaccinations. Do these provide the magic bullet we need to shut down the infection and open up the world?
He also reviews the latest research including data on asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic disease in children, important for when schools re-open, and the elderly, important for managing Covid-19 in care homes. He also looks at some emerging data on the extra-respiratory effects of the disease and how it may present in primary care.
