Steroids reduce deaths of critically ill COVID-19 patients, WHO confirms ella clemens


This article is about steroids helping cure covid-19. When patients are critically ill using steroids can help boost their immune system to be able to fight the virus.  However if you give the steroids to mildly ill patients it can weaken their immune system and make them worse.

Are there any other medicines that can help covid- 19?

What made people think to use steroids to cure corona?

Do you know anyone who had covid-19 and what were the treatments they had?

Would you participate in research study for experimental medication?

    I would participate in a research study for experimental medication, it seems like fun and if there is a cure for a disease that I might have, I wanna be able to take it. - Steven Solomon

    I would not participate in an experiment because there are so many risks. I feel that some experiments have been rushed so there could be some serious side effects that could be very damaging to the body. Also, my body is very sensitive and there are some medications that I am allergic to so I would not want to participate in an experiment until the medication has been further developed.

    1. Not that I know of.
    2. It was an effort to keep those near death alive.
    3. No.
    4. No, unless I was seriously at risk.

    A good friend of mine had corona less than a month ago and once he tested positive he just stayed in his dorm and didn't get any treatment or take any medicine. If I had corona I would only participate in experimental treatments that have no chance of worsening my condition.

    I know a few people that have had covid and they all showed symptoms for only a few days and the best treatment was a lot of sleep and hot tea or hot chicken broth to soothe their throats -kendall dees

    I think Ibuprofen could help with the fever part of covid-19. I personally would not participate in a research study for experimental medication. -Kevin Gu

    I do know of some people that have gotten covid however many of them did not get really sick. The worst was a cough or feeling sore, or not feeling sick at all. All of them just quarantine then were fine.

    I know about 6 people that had covid with symptoms and had a positive test come back. none of them had a treatment though. Most of them just stayed away from people for 2 or more weeks.

    A family member got corona recently and they are treating it like a cold and and taking it day by day until they feel better. I would participate if I was eligible because corona is affecting everyone so by helping in a study I could help people all across the world. -Erik E

    I know some people who have had corona and they have to just do what's best for them by quarantining and fighting it day by day. I would not want to participate in a research study because it's far too dangerous right now and I wouldn't feel comfortable risking my health for that. -Campbell Marino

    I know multiple people that have had it, none of them needed treatments. I wouldnt take part in a study because I dont want to take the risk of my health. I wouldnt want to get corona and possibly die for science. Sarah LaChance

    i think it would make it worse because if the risk you can get sicker if you take the steroids or you could get better -Ryan Carter

    I would experiment in the drug trials, even though risky. I would do it on a small scale, like, children's meds. it's easy simple and wont have any long term effects, hopefully. Plus, i hear the pay is pretty nice. Imagine getting paid to do drugs, all while being fed and provided for! One major setback though, which is the needles, I hate needles
