the docs knew from day one vents were a death sentence. but they were afraid of Teh China Virus and screw those patients, I guess. I'll never forgive, nor forget. Doctors of late make lawyers look, frankly, awesome.

I always wondered exactly why they chose dexamethasone.

In the nursing homes we saw a lower death rate than was normal pre-pandemic with COPD, emphysema, and other lung patients because, what were they doing different than all the other co-morbidities crowd without lung issues, INHALED STEROIDS!

I remember use of inhaled budesonide was postulated or even used in some cases, which would seem to be a very good idea, but then I didn't hear much about it.

Just going from memory here, folks.
