While the rest of the world is treating patients with whatever medication eg chloroquin et al our medics just put them on the deathbed and watch them die! Disgusting.
Ummmm…No.
Critically ill Covid-19 patients in our hospitals ARE receiving appropriate care, which at the moment is a well developed supportive ICU protocol for people with injured lungs. There simply is no tried and true direct treatment for Covid-19 anywhere in the world-despite what we have heard in the news.
The lede in that nation story is that Kenya will participate in the trial of 3 drugs that have shown promise in treating this illness. Personally I think this is great as long as proper procedures are followed and patients and their families understand completely that they are serving as research subjects and that those meds may, or may not help them.
Masukuma ako wapi aone how we contribute to science?
