Looks like Tociluzmab and Sarilumab may be helpful in covid treatment on a larger study.

Yes I read that too, good news, though the guardian article itself is more explanatory about rheumatoid being an auto immune disease, I do wish they hadn’t referred to it as just ‘arthritis’ again in their headline. There is no way you’d be on these drugs for osteo- and it confuses the two 🙄 x
