Broadbent A. 2020. Better the drug you know: commentary on Daughton 2020, Natural Experiment Concept to Accelerate the Re-purposing of Existing Therapeutics for Covid-19. Global Epidemiology 2(10027):1-2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloepi.2020.100027

This is a (positive) commentary on what I thought was a really useful idea for accelerating research into anti-COVID drugs, which I shared previously and which you can (and should) read here:

Daughton CG. 2020. Natural experiment concept to accelerate the re-purposing of existingtherapeutics for Covid-19. Global Epidemiology 2(100026):1–6.66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloepi.2020.100026

And the author Christian Daughton posted a reply to my commentary here:

Daughton CG. 2020. Response to: Broadbent 2020, Better the drug you know: Commentary on “Daughton 2020, Natural experiment concept to accelerate the re-purposing of existing therapeutics for Covid-19”. Global Epidemiology 2(100028):1-2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloepi.2020.100028

 

A simple and FAST method for identifying existing drugs that may work against COVID-19 has just been published: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590113320300109 This deserves to be widely read and tried. #epitwitter

I’ve got a commentary coming out soon too.
