ACE inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19

We've been hearing a bunch regarding ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 infections. The NEJM finally put out an article on it. Let's review it in plain english and see if it can help us treat our patients. Spoiler alert: like they said in the second paragraph of the article :the data in human are too limited to support or refute these hypothesis and concerns".

Okay I read this paper and didn't get much out of it. Data to be determined.
