Tarnished, if I may ask. Am I correct in assuming that steroids are generally used to suppress inflammation and overall not very harmful?

And I concur regarding the lurkers! We await your return.
 Quoting: Dutchy20


Ask away! Yes, steroids are to reduce inflammation, but they are dangerous to use long term. They can cause increase in blood glucose in diabetics, bone loss, fluid retention, increase chance of infection and other bad things. Steroids can also cause Cushing's Disease.

They are one classification of drugs where you really have to weigh the risk vs reward.

Are you guys scared? did y’all quit smoking yet?

I know my pa and ma are scared, but they never were stupid and smoke cancer sticks. Plus they live in the boonies.


We got some tattle tales up in here, probably just scared.

bioweapon will be in full force this winter and into 2021. I just don’t see it slowing down into spring and summer next year. In fact it will probably pick up even more, when spring fever comes and people itching to get out of the house. Still only baby stages of this thing.

Oh and you complainers grow up.

Okay so suppression mostly, no prophylactic benefits right? Mostly asking because of the the new hype about steroid inhalers, I'm wondering if it's something I need to learn more about if people are going to start randomly recommending it.

I have wasted a lot of time on HCQ and concluded that as long people consult a doctor that knows their medical history, it should be fine to take. No real risks unless you reject alternate treatment for severe cases, but reading medical science papers is not something I like doing for fun.

I trust the doctors I have access to and I know what questions to ask. I just get worried when people start shouting everyone should be taking this new magic thing because it fixes all the things. It often gives a false sense of security.

And inflammation suppression makes a lot of sense given the acute symptoms but to my understand it's mostly symptom relieve, it should not impact the 'life-cycle' of the virus/infection itself. So you'll feel better and mildly symptomatic people might not get as problematic but if it progresses and more severe symptoms do present I don't see how it would impact the severity there. To my understanding it's pretty standard to use steroids with pneumonia as well right?

It's been a long year, my friends. One like no other. And it's far from over.

12 months ago not one of us could have imagined us to be where we are right now.

I've expressed many a strong opinion in the time. Some have been wrong, some have been right, some are still up in the air.

But for now, I'm forgetting my soul... and coming back to yours...


Sometimes we get cold
No words to fix it up
You get so stubborn
I get so stubborn

We hide behind walls
Our joy becomes ghosts
I wish you’d care more
I know I care

Oh, forget my soul, I’m coming back to yours
I’m coming back to yours

It's never been part of our protocol. We use antibiotics and IV fluids. I have given steroids through an inhaler, but it's often ordered separately than the routine meds.

Here you go Dutchy, if you haven’t seen this already.

ASSOCIATION OF INITIAL VIRAL LOAD IN SARS-CoV-2 PATIENTS WITH OUTCOME AND SYMPTOMS

Two hundred and five (205) patients were included in the study including 165 discharged patients from the ED and 40 hospitalized patients. Non- hospitalized patients were overall younger (median age: 45 years old) compared to hospitalized patients (median age: 60 years old, p<0.001). Other baseline characteristics, including sex, race, body mass index (BMI) and comorbidities showed no statistically significant difference in terms of distribution between the two groups (Table 1). The group of hospitalized patients was expectedly enriched in patients with severe or critical COVID-19 (p<0.001) (Table 2). The median duration of symptoms from symptom onset to nasopharyngeal swab collection in that group was 5 days as opposed to 3 days in the non-hospitalized group (p=0.017) . Median hospitalization duration was 6.5 days (Table 2).

We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence.
Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty.
The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires
We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE

Non- hospitalized patients were overall younger (median age: 45 years old) compared to hospitalized patients (median age: 60 years old, p<0.001). Other baseline characteristics, including sex, race, body mass index (BMI) and comorbidities showed no statistically significant difference in terms of distribution between the two groups (Table 1). The group of hospitalized patients was expectedly enriched in patients with severe or critical COVID-19 (p<0.001) (Table 2). The median duration of symptoms from symptom onset to nasopharyngeal swab collection in that group was 5 days as opposed to 3 days in the non-hospitalized group (p=0.017) . Median hospitalization duration was 6.5 days (Table 2).

Not looking good for 60 year old, white males, that are overweight with comorbidities.

Furthermore, we showed that viral loads are inversely correlated with disease severity. We believe that higher viral loads are seen in mild disease rather than severe disease as they reflect the time from onset of infection.

demonstrating that longer disease duration is not necessarily associated with a higher viral load but rather a lower viral load7. The results also show that patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms may represent the most important "overlooked" source of shedding given the higher viral load. We believe containment strategies can utilize quantitative viral loads to identify that patients with high viral titers. In the hospital triage setting, the information from the viral load can be utilized to determine which patient would receive a negative pressure room. In the outpatient setting, clinicians can utilize viral load as a quantitative metric to reinforce the importance of self-isolation and face coverings to reduce the risk spreading the infection.
