The President of the United States, Trump, was diagnosed with a new coronary pneumonia and was sent to Walter Reed National Medical Center for observation and treatment due to symptoms of a cough and mild fever. Before being sent to the doctor, the White House doctors used 8 grams of the experimental drug treatment Covid-19 from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
According to a Daily Mail report from Day 2, while Regeneron’s antibody cocktail is promising in the early experimental stage, it is still in a highly experimental stage. So far, it has only been tested in patients who do not need to be hospitalized. However, preliminary data from the experiment showed that, compared to placebo, it can reduce the amount of virus twice a week. After receiving this drug treatment, patients with new coronary artery disease can cut recovery time by about half.
However, if Trump’s condition worsens, he may also receive other medications that have been tested in critically ill patients to improve survival and shorten recovery time.
Because Trump is 74 years old and has obesity problems, and according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients aged 65 to 74 have a higher probability of being admitted to the hospital compared to 18 to 29 year old patients. It can be up to 5 times and the risk of death is up to 90 times. Because of their health risks, the use of medications that keep your blood pressure and cholesterol from rising may also be important to your ability to resist a new coronary pneumonia.
As president of the United States, Trump will certainly receive the most promising treatment. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently only approves the use of the antiviral drug Remdesivir (Remdesivir) and plasma therapy for novel coronavirus survivors in emergency situations. Remdesivir can reduce the risk of death by 30% and has the best effect when used in seriously ill patients.
There is also a cheap steroid, although it can reduce the risk of death by almost 50%, but it can be harmful for patients with mild illness.
