Does Anyone Know - How - Once Diagnosed With Covid-19 - How The Patient Is Treated?....

[global1]

I haven't heard treatment being addressed.

[BusyBeingBest]

1. I think they only treat mild symptoms at home.

[at140]

4. Chicken soup, bed rest, and plenty of fluids.

Works with all viruses.

[3Hotdogs]

10. Take two aspirin and don't bother me no more.

[at140]

12. You sound like my doctor.

[3Hotdogs]

13. Well then send me $110 and we'll be even.

[at140]

14. Check is in the mail!

[DVRacer]

29. Every veteran knows what to do

800mg Ibuprofens
Change your socks
Drink lots of water

It’s the go to treatment for everything

[htuttle]

2. I think it's similar to pneumonia protocols

With the worst cases requiring a ventilator. Which there aren't nearly enough of, nor staff trained in their use.

Not to mention ICU beds, etc.

[LizBeth]

3. What are you going to do with a virus? Antibiotics won't do anything.

bed rest, liquids, lol. Cough syrup. Motrin.

[PoliticAverse]

5. From:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.html

There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. For severe cases, treatment should include care to support vital organ functions.

6. I read the Japanese were treating some patients with asthma medicine. The really serious events

like cytokine storm—is there a treatment? There are some powerful antibiotics for pneumonia if needed to prevent sepsis or treat it. Tylenol brings down fever.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. Is there any evidence that cytokine storm is happening with this?

[LonePirate]

7. Japan and Spain have been trying anti-viral HIV medications on severe cases.

[emmaverybo]

15. Treatment protocols could improve as they get tweaked. At the start, HIV complications were

not as treatable as they were to become even before the anti-viral cocktail began to work for many.

[Hoyt]

8. Like someone with flu. Rest, etc., unless you get pneumonia or something.

At least that’s what it appears to me. Some folks never get noticeable symptoms.

9. This article has tips on treating a viral infection at home.

20. make this a op

[ooky]

22. Done

[Demonaut]

23. I saw that, thanks!

[Aussie105]

11. Self isolation and self treatment with asthma puffer is probably a good start.

If breathing really gets difficult, be it pneumonia, flu, or covid-19, a ride to the hospital is warranted.

Treatment at the hospital would assume the worst case, until diagnosis is done.

With the ease with which this covid-19 spreading to others, including health workers, hospitals would only want to see the worst cases.

Full isolation, oxygen tent, etc. What drugs are effective treatment to keep you alive is uncertain.

[BigDemVoter]

16. Basically they treat symptoms

and try to prevent transmission. . .

So. . . isolation . . . treat fever. . . address respiratory issues if necessary (ventilator, etc). I am not aware of any kind of anti viral or anything else like that. . .

[GulfCoast66]

17. So I don't have the longest history on DU. But I hope the maybe very few people who know me...

Don’t think I’m am a guy prone to hyperbole. But it seems to me the answer is: Your on your own motherfucker. Even doctors are not being given any direction and I heard that from a doctor.

You will not get tested because there are no test kits out there.

Just go home and hope you survive. Unless you are a lucky one who gets a test and get real medical treatment. And then just wait for the bill! Ok that last sentence was hyperbole. Well not really. You will pay for it.

This is the biggest clusterfuck I have ever seen.

if you saw the presser at the CDC today and are not horrified, then you are living in a false reality.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Remember in November: This shit storm is brought to you by the entire GOP.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a functioning central government, for the people, right now?

[GulfCoast66]

25. Oh, even without the virus I will be beating down the doors to vote for Democratic candidates.

I’m 53. Have never missed an election. I always vote. Always.

[live love laugh]

26. What's tragic is the media has not answered this question. nt

[Captain Zero]

27. The one in Indianapolis

Was met in Community North Hospital parking lot by their response team and taken inside all protected where exam and treatment continued. Then deciding he was going to progress to recovery, they released him to quaratine in his residence for two weeks. He had been to a business conference in Boston. Got it there, they think. I get the impression he is single and maybe why he can quarantine at his place? Also was stated to be a moderate case, not severe.

[Meowmee]

28. The severe cases of SARS-CoV-2, what they are calling this I think from an article I read,

are treated in hospital/ icu. They have opaque broken glass like scans of the lungs which identifies the sars. They are trialing antiviral drugs right now and I read that patients in China were given iv antibiotics, I guess to stop secondary infections. I found these links...

The pathogen has been identified as a novel enveloped RNA betacoronavirus2 that has currently been named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has a phylogenetic similarity to SARS-CoV.3 Patients with the infection have been documented both in hospitals and in family settings.4-8
