At least it nods towards gca too.... If I was on actemra I would be getting my prescription filled re redirection of stocks. Especially if it prove successful. Thanks.

Sounds like only for the patients experiencing a cytokine storm of the right sort so it won't be for everyone. There are other IL-6 inhibitors too. Interesting concept though.

There was an article about cytokine storms last week. Or the week before. If they have been mentioned in news articles in previous "flu" panics I didn't know enough then to even see the words. Funny how life changes.

Thanks for posting! The "complications" appear to be the main problem with this latest version of the common cold. Glad they are hot on that piece. One wonders if the deaths from influenza aren't similar in nature. The more we know....
