Steroids Can Be Lifesaving for Severe Covid-19 Patients, Scientists Report - No s*** Sherlock

W.H.O. issues strong recommendation for critically ill patients. Dexamethasone appears to reduce deaths by 36%; hydrocortisone by 31%.

“Based on the new evidence, the World Health Organization issued new treatment guidance, strongly recommending steroids to treat severely and critically ill patients, but not to those with mild disease*,” writes Caryn Rabin in The New York Times.

BUT BUT BUT, I got Zucked for 30 days and two of the five strikes were for linking to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine protocol from May which lists STEROIDS as part of their treatment for ARDS.  I also have other Facbook strikes for touting ascorbic acid as an anti-viral (when calling it by its common name VITAMIN C) which is also listed as part of their treatment for ARDS: 

The three core pathologic processes in COVID-19 are:

1) Hyper-Inflammation-

2) Hyper-coagulability

3) Hypoxemia

Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Working Group “MATH+” PROTOCOL:  All three medicines must be started within 6 hours of admission to the hospital:

1) METHYLPREDNISONE – a powerful anti-inflammatory drug that we use to suppress the immune system and prevent organ damage. COVID-19 is causing a condition called the “cytokine storm” for which this drug, a corticosteroid, is the standard recommended treatment accepted around the world.

2) ASCORBIC ACID– although known as Vitamin C, when delivered intravenously, this substance acts as a powerful “stress hormone” that controls inflammation and prevents the development of leaky bloody vessels in the lung, thus avoiding the development of lung failure which is the condition causing death in almost all COVID-19 patients. 

* The University of Wisconsin protocol differentiates between the early mild phase and the late nasty phase and mentions HCQ. That's probably worth a Facebook strike or two or three:

As for the timing:

Figure 1 below, illustrates the importance of understanding the two distinct, yet overlapping, phases of this disease.

1. The viral replicative phase — this occurs early, largely in outpatients. Mild symptoms: fevers, fatigue, body aches, and sore throat are felt as the virus directly invades the tissues and causes systemic symptoms (but no organ dysfunction)

i. This is the phase anti-viral therapies should be focused on, i.e. before patients reach the hospital where medicines like hydroxychloroquine or Remdesivir would have the greatest impact to keep the patient away from the hospital and ICU.

2. The hyper-inflammatory, immune response phase (what brings patient to the hospital) is a state of immune system dysregulation whereby immune cells exit the blood vessels into tissues, causing massive inflammation within and failures of the major organs, most commonly the lungs, brain, heart, and kidneys.

It is this later, hospitalized “hyper-inflammatory” phase that our protocol is designed to treat and where experts in hospital and ICU medicine are needed.  

The Wisconsin protocol is very clear that it is intended to treat the late nasty ARDS stage which few people would ever reach if they took Vitamins A, C and D along with HCQ or quercetin and zinc.  Of course, mentioning that to the vulnerable to help keep them all well and safe will get you thrown into Facebook prison and soon real prison.  

 "Please ask yourself in your relative comfort just how deep your corona-religion is? Is it so deep that you’ll continue to turn a blind eye to the global suffering that’s taking place so that you can feel safe from a virus that thankfully kills so few? Please think deeply about this. The lives of hundreds of millions of innocent people with exponentially less than you hang on your level of alarmism, and the strange joy you derive from being told what to do."
