Diagnostics
A paper in Blood Advances describes some markers which a machine learning algorithm says indicate how likely a COVID-19 patient is to have a severe case. This is interesting for two reasons:
- It can tell who should get really aggressive treatment.
- Which elements of the blood are important can give clues to why COVID-19 is so bad and/or how to fight it.

Treatments
A pre-print says they’ve found some super-duper antibodies, ones that work well against different Variants of Concern.
