A bit of good news on the early treatment front. A clinical trial run in Oxfordshire has found a type of asthma inhaler helps people to recover faster (when given soon after covid positive test) and reduces instances of serious disease. The thing that triggered the trial in the first place was that certain groups of asthmatics and people suffering from COPD seemed to be coping better with covid infections than their doctors had expected.

Small scale trial and not enough hospitalisations in the trial to say how effective it is with severe cases, but enough to be statistically convincing that it helps people recover faster. And it's (relatively) cheap, available and they already have safety data for it.
