Coronavirus: Dexamethasone proves first life-saving drug

Patients should be given the cheap drug without delay, after "fantastic" trial results, experts say.

A cheap and widely available drug can help save the lives of patients seriously ill with coronavirus.

The low-dose steroid treatment dexamethasone is a major breakthrough in the fight against the deadly virus, UK experts say.

The drug is part of the world's biggest trial testing existing treatments to see if they also work for coronavirus.

It cut the risk of death by a third for patients on ventilators. For those on oxygen, it cut deaths by a fifth.

Had the drug had been used to treat patients in the UK from the start of the pandemic, up to 5,000 lives could have been saved, researchers say.

Its not the complete package but a lot of people will not die because of this.
Great news for mankind.

We should have a good old fashioned knees up with tea and jam sandwiches to celebrate.....always observing social distancing rules of course!

I am safe anyway because I neck down a glass of Domestos every morning.

With that much chlorine, your poo must be see through.

Sorry....we don't know anything about this drug until we find out if Trump thinks it might help.......if he does think it might help, we will need to ban this steroid and fire all the researchers.....you still don't understand that science and medicine under the left wing is now opinion and political side taking.....get with it.

Its been available for years you clown. Obviously it is so cheap that US pharma couldnt see any point in looking at it. But hey, lets not get partisan about it , mankind is the winner here.

Moron, so is Hydroxychloriquine and yet, all Trump said was he had good feelings about it helping and hoped that it would, and left wing shit heads went out of their way to attack this drug....a drug that has been around for about 70 years.........

Mankind was a winner with Hydroxy and that didn't stop you left wing hacks trying to keep people from using it....making false studies to discredit it...all just to get Trump....you doofus.

There's more to look into. Having already posted on protease inhibitors, etc. on the snake meat thread, we continue there.

Difference is dexamethasone has been tested, proved to be successful by the scientists.
Hydroxychloriquine has been tested and proved unsafe.
Don't think they bothered testing whether injecting disinfectant might be beneficial!

You would have to ask Jon Karl, the ABC reporter about the injecting of disinfectant...since he asked about that, not Trump....

This is fantastic news.
This is a very common oral steroid given to reduce inflammation.

Scientists hail dexamethasone as 'major breakthrough' in treating COVID-19
LONDON (Reuters) - Dexamethasone, a cheap and widely used steroid, has become the first drug shown to be able to save lives among COVID-19 patients in what scientists hailed as a “major breakthrough”.

".......reduced death rates by around a third among the most severely ill COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital."""

Steroid drug hailed as 'breakthrough' for seriously ill COVID-19 patients

A cheap and widely used steroid called dexamethasone has become the first drug shown to be able to save the lives of COVID-19 patients in what scientists said is a "major breakthrough" in the coronavirus pandemic.

www.reuters.com

This stuff has some hefty side effects, though. But still...better than buying the farm.

From reading the article, it says only 8 people were in their study.... And the news said none of the actual study was released for the medical field, pier review....

Making announcements in the news with just 8 patients, with no release of the actual study seems like it is simply a ploy to raise their stock price.... because more people are buying it off the news....

Hope I'm wrong.

Hope a larger, scientific study shows its working as they thought.

From the actual Press Conference.......

FACT CHECK: No, Trump Did Not Tell People To ‘Inject Themselves With Disinfectant’ Or ‘Drink Bleach’


“We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids, and I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes,” Bryan said. “Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing. Just bring it on and leaving it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster.”

Bryan added, “We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.”

Immediately following these remarks, Trump said:

So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.

A few moments later, ABC News reporter Jon Karl asked Bryan, “The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach and isopropyl alcohol emerging. There’s no scenario where that could be injected into a person, is there?”
