Just thought i would tell IBDers who are on Xeljanz and are worried about COVID-19, that I read an interesting article that Pfizer is actually intending to test Xeljanz as a treatment for COVID-19. Interesting twist for those of us that are currently on it.

Not really sure how to do links?
It was in the Globe and Mail business section today.

"It also said it plans to support studies to determine whether existing Pfizer medicines, including its rheumatoid arthritis drug Xeljanz, may provide benefits for those struggling with the COVID-19 respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus."
