My son has been an ER and ICU nurse prior to becoming a CRNA. I knew a bit about medications from him. As a virus, I suspected the inflammatory response was killing people, especially given how it killed the elderly, diabetic, and obese primarily. Does dexamethasone treatment in early illness stop it from progressing to the worst case, or do they just go ahead and start antivirals immediately when they suspect a bad case (trump being morbidly obese and geriatric)?
