Mudd with COVID samples (IMAGE) Washington University School of Medicine Caption Emergency medicine physician Philip Mudd, MD, PhD, carries an icebox containing COVID-19 samples. Mudd led a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis that showed that, contrary to expectation, most people with severe COVID-19 do not suffer from unbridled inflammation. The findings suggest that anti-inflammatory therapies may not be helpful for most COVID-19 patients.
