According to Reuters, this is part of the findings that doctors fighting COVID-19 have discovered.

Doctors also discovered that patients are at increased risk of blood clots, and blood thinning agents can help.

“The most promising treatments so far seem to be the anti-viral remdesivir; dexamethasone, a steroid to treat the body’s inflammatory response to COVID-19; and plasma donated by patients who have antibodies to the disease.”

The health professionals also found that Proning, which is the act of putting patients on their stomachs to relieve pressure on the lungs, can stave off the need for mechanical ventilation.

The Chief medical officer at Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services in Gallup, New Mexico, said the world was far from a miracle cure.

“If the best lesson we’ve learned is to turn patients onto their stomachs instead of their backs, it means we’re far from a miracle cure.”
