[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A new drug really works on covid - and it is cheap and available : Dexamethasone is a life-saving coronavirus drug https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53061281[/quote] It's a common steroid. They found it only helps seriously ill patients already on supportive oxygen or a vent. I can't imagine this isn't already standard treatment in the US for patients in the ICU. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1272877907036311554?s=20 [quote]Also, media:. Please emphasize solid RCT data shows no dexamethasone benefit to people not on respiratory support. Not useful till people need ventilator or oxygen. No logic to hoarding or prophylactic use. Corticosteroids suppress the immune system. Not to be taken willy-nilly. [/quote][/quote]
