So you can see why Pfizer put forward Tofa into trails in Italy because the IL-2, IL-7 and IL-6 signaling!
“Tofacitinib is an effective oral JAK2/1/3 inhibitor that was approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2012, Since JAK3 is limited to cytokines using the common ? chain family, tofacitinib can effectively block IL-2, IL-7, and IL-6.”

“Key cytokines elevated in Covid-19 intensive care unit patients are reported to include: IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, TNFa – all of which signal via JAK-family kinases.”
