  • Asthma/Arthritis Drug to Cure Covid-19 ? Dexamethasone May Hold the Key To Defeat the #Pandemic

A COVID-19 cure was right in front of our eyes all this time? UK researchers say we could have saved over 5000 lives in UK had we administered Dexamethasone from the beginning. UK research shows Dexamethasone drug saves lives. The drug is given intravenously in intensive care and in tablet form for less seriously ill patients. CAUTION: Doctors advise people not go out and buy it to take at home without consultation. Dexamethasone does not appear to help people with milder symptoms of coronavirus who do not need help with their breathing. With COVID-19 infections on the rise in certain countries and a possible second wave for China's capital, Beijing, do we finally have good news with a drug that will save lives out of Europe.
