One of the subjects sure to come up will be the potential of using statins – cholesterol lowering drugs – in the treatment of influenza. An idea that Dr. Fedson has encouraged more research in for years.
I wrote about this subject on Friday in Statins Revisited as did Revere at Effect Measure in Statins for influenza. Why don't we know if it works yet?.
