We've approved it for use today, but what other governments do is up to them!



Is reducing deaths by a third 'the answer'? I wouldn't say so.

Either way, I'm trusting Oxford over your dumb ass.

Yes, this one is for you


A treatment "available immediately"
Faced with these results, specialists are divided. Some are particularly convinced by the conclusions of this test, such as Djillali Annane, head of the resuscitation* service at Raymond Poincaré de Garches hospital in Hauts-de-Seine. "We found a first treatment for Covid-19," he says. "It is available immediately around the world and it is accessible because this treatment is generic. It no longer costs anything. It is a giant step in the fight against Covid-19. This is the unexpected news that we were all waiting for, "added the doctor.

A steroid may help with the symptoms, don't get me wrong. It's an anti-inflammatory and obviously someone with COPD, or on a ventilator should have one.

The fact that it's worded as dexamethasone as some type of cure for coronavirus was my issue. Take that for what you want. You are very ignorant to the pathophysiology behind what you are blabbering about.

For example, sedation medication "holidays" are shown to improve outcomes of patients of ventilators. It has nothing to do with Coronavirus though..

A steroid might treat a symptom of COVID, but nothing to do with COVID itself..

An ice pack might alleviate the symptoms of a malignant hyperthermia, but it won't solve your cause of malignant hyperthermia.. Does that make sense to you? Tried dumbing it down for ya.

edit: Dex reduces ventilator deaths, yes. If you take covid in that account, then sure. But saying dex directly relates to covid is wrong imo.

edit2: I want to see what alleviates COVID before it gets to the point where they are vented, trached and PEG'd and needing dex..

I didn't say or even imply it was a cure. You're either not very good at reading or you're making up an issue so you can proceed to flex on me with your extensive medical knowledge. I just wish the guys at Oxford University were as smart as you.

"Oxford researchers have found the drug dexamethasone reduces Coronavirus deaths. In the trial it reduced death rates by a third for patients on ventilators."

First sentence, I disagree.
Second sentence, I agree.

First sentence is too vague and not enough info. And it only really applies to people who have COVID AND are on a ventilator.

edit: I was just making my post. Youre the one who started calling names, lmao. Keep it grown up in here please.

That's still important since if you're on an ventilator, you have a really high chance of dying.

Dex reduces # of ventilator patient deaths. Is accurate.
Dex reduces # of coronavirus patient deaths. Is inaccurate and too vague.

Like I say. I'm not arguing what it is. I'm arguing how it was worded..

No, first sentence is fine, it reduce corona death.
It's not a big deal anyway, you may say "ok butt butt'... It's still saving 13% of those who are hospitalized without oxygen and without ventilator.

It's a bit late now, for EU... Maybe it will save third world countries like Africa or US
