The therapeutic armamentarium that has been made available from the beginning of the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic to date is briefly reviewed, and an overview of the real-world clinical evidence published by the Italian medical and scientific community during the last three years is presented herein. Prior to the introduction of a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2, several treatment options were implemented from the onset given the evidence that a "cytokine storm" was present during infection with SARS-CoV-2. However, with the exception of tocilizumab, baricitinib and perhaps anakinra, most studies with anti-cytokine biological agents in patients with severe COVID-19 did not show any significant clinical improvement or decrease in mortality at day 28.

Questions about the fairness, efficacy, and sustainability of volunteerism in community health have led some states and programs to attempt to scale back their reliance on "volunteer" labor. Such attempts demand theory-driven, comparative ethnographic research that makes sense of how such moves unfold and impact the lives of CHWs and the programs surrounding them. Guided by theory of the interaction of political and moral economies, this article comparatively analyzes two predominantly female community health workforces in Ethiopia, who worked as unpaid volunteers when their federal government was supposedly "moving away from volunteerism" in community health: (1) HIV/AIDS-focused, home-based caregivers in Addis Ababa (2007-9) organized by NGOs; and (2) primary health care-focused members of the Women's Development Army in rural Amhara (2012-16) organized by the state.
