Again, we need to back up here.
There is no evidence that MAO-B inhibitors prevent or treat COVID. This NOT what the study is talking about.
The study is simply suggesting an association between MAO-B levels and COVID induced delirium. However the study does not indicate whether it is high MAO-B or low MAO-B in this relationship.
The other 'risk' of MAOis in COVID is that they can preclude the use of other drugs (which may interact).
Again, at this stage there is not enough evidence to suggest that MAOIs treat, prevent or cure COVID in any form.
