Fewer people are being hospitalized due to COVID. That is due to the average age of infected persons being younger now and more effective treatments, Ventilators aren't used much anymore.

Other than Remdesivir, what other treatments are in use?

Actually, seems there are no others .. at least none with a good trial record

People who are hospitalized with COVID-19 and need breathing assistance may be treated with dexamethasone. Some medications can also help to ease symptoms like fever and cough.

Yes, several "reliefs" or symptom treatments are used, but there is no magic bullet.



 Dexamethasone can be considered a treatment as can Remdesivir



I had expected something (or things) to be found very effective months ago what with so many working on it

Just caught up on math



Here's how key the one's I log have improved their death / case rates from June > Today



(Some I started more recently, so have only today's #)



______ Deaths / 100 Cases



Canada  8.3 > 5.9

BC ..... 6.1 > 2.6 (We've come a long way baby!!)

Alberta  1.5

Ontario  5.6

Quebec  7.9



US ...... 4+ > 3.2

Florida  1.9

Texas .   2.1

in effect, yes - as they are # of deaths per 100 cases



Where there ar e 2 #s, the 1st is June, the second is today



All lone ones are as of today, as I don't have June for them

The approval comes a day after Public Services and Procurement Canada signed a deal to buy nearly eight million of the tests from the company, as well as 3,800 of the analyzer units that process the results



Health Canada approved the BCube test from Hyris Ltd. in the United Kingdom Sept. 23



Health Canada has given the green light to a rapid test for COVID-19 that could be deployed to long-term care homes and schools to take pressure off provincial testing systems.



But neither the company nor the federal government will be more specific about when the test kits will start arriving other than "the coming weeks."



The department posted news Wednesday of the approval of the Abbott Diagnostics ID Now test, which can deliver results within 13 minutes of a patient being swabbed, without having to first send the specimen to a lab for processing.
