What do you mean it was missed?

Corticosteroids were recommended to reduce the body’s overreaction.

What I am wondering about is whatever happened to Ivermectin, that was so promising back in April. MERCK makes Stromectol since the 70s. Clears the entire infection in 48 hours!

*In cell cultures.

It's in at least one trial. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04374279 Estimated completion date is this month, so keep an eye out.


When and bow will we know the results of this study?


If nothing else you'll hear news about it if the study looks promising


European experts actively recommended not to give corticosteroids at the start of the pandemic and changed course late in the first wave.

We had direct communication with those experts in my hospital and local guidelines didn't recommend steroids.


Would be interesting to know what they based that on.
