    Science by press release is never good. The press release claiming that dexamethasone is effective against severe #COVID19 is no exception.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/06/17/dexamethasone-and-hydrochloroquine-a-tale-of-two-drugs-for-covid-19/ …

        Yeah that was like publicizing the effects of oxygen and normal saline, imo.

        As a layperson, I take issue with the way the alleged results were presented. “Cut risk of death by 1/3” sounds a lot different to me than what it says later, which is that 28% of vented patients still died. The tone at the beginning ridiculously oversells the results, IMO.

        We are talking about saving quite a few lives lives here, I don’t think that « overselling » is appropriate.

        Instead of treading lightly and awaiting true studies, they run with the story simply to be the first to have spoken of it.

        I think it’s more about implementing the treatment as quickly as possible to save some of those currently fighting for their lives...

        There better not be a dex shortage as a result of this. Other than Ancef, it’s all I know how to use!

        What would make one type of steroid that much more effective again ARDS induced by Covid-19 versus other steroids? Wasn’t it standard care to use some sort of steroid in the above mentioned patients?
