#dexamethasone in #COVID would be a big blow to the big pharma. This drug is so cheap- it costs just a few rupees, is widely available, can be given orally, and is very familiar to the physicians. Would big pharma recover from the fatal blow delivered by the #recoverytrial?

Does the study itself look like good science to you?

It isn't published yet; so I can't say. It is an RCT; so there's that. Otherwise...I don't know.

Isn't this just treating the physiological reactions? Dexamethazone should have nothing to do w Covid 19 directly. And if used too early in an infection just depress the immune response?

The authors have stated it was only of benefit in those unwell enough to require oxygen therapy and greater benefit seen in ventilated patients. Not a cure-all or panacea, but of some benefit.

Maybe. I want to see the data.
