[John Clark]

Oxford University researchers say that a very cheap steroid drug called
"dexamethasone" that has long been safely used to treat arthritis can save
the lives of about a third of severely ill COVID-19 patients, such as those
who are sick enough to be put on a respirator, it doesn't seem to help much
for patients who are only slightly sick. Britain’s health ministry
Immediately approved dexamethasone for this purpose, imposed export
restrictions on it, and has already stockpiled 200,000 doses.
