This is what a friend, Dr Issa Ọlarongbe Sanusi, forwarded to me on coronavirus, which he got as a forwarded message: “This is what a senior British doctor
had to say in a medical forum that was held recently: ‘‘For this pandemic there’s a greater chance of survival for those getting infected three months later like June 2020 than those who got infected three months earlier say February 2020. The reason for this is that doctors and scientists know more about COVID-19 now than three months ago and hence are able to treat patients better. I will list five important things that we know now that we didn’t know in February 2020.
2. Now since knowing about happy hypoxia we are monitoring oxygen saturation of all COVID-19 patients with a simple home use pulse oxymeter and getting them to hospital if their oxygen saturation drops to 93% or less. This gives more time for doctors to correct the oxygen deficiency in the blood and a better survival chance in June 2020.
4. Now in June 2020, we know that easily available medicines called Steroids, that doctors around the world have been using for almost 80 years can be used to prevent the cytokine storm in some patients.5. Now we also know that people with hypoxia became better just by making them lie down on their belly- known as prone position.
