It's cytokine storm . Now who is more prone to develop cytokine storm is impossible to tell as of now

Hopefully Biocons itolizumob comes out well. Will save a lot of lives by prohibiting the cytokin storm.

It's not so simple. Toculizumab is being used but it causes so much immunosupression that a number of patients are developing multi drug resistant infections. Situation is bad boss

You have source for that. Would like to read.

You have source for that. Would like to read.

We are seeing it in our ICU

With so many patients and less staff nobody has got the time to publish any paper now

..I found that most of them were asthmatic which explains a lot.

AFAIK only reason ppl die of covid is due to lungs giving up on them. open for correction. so weak lungs (Asthma being one cause) is ripe hunting grounds for ccp?

Yes. Any pre existing lung disease worsens the things further

Alright . So doubling down on my daily routine of yoga+pranayama (i dont know a better method of lung strengthening technique), steam inhalation, luke warm drinking water, honey and turmeric in everything.

Bhai ,I don't work in COVID ICU or Ward but my friend does. He tells me everything everyday. My department is separate but still 8 staff in my department became positive so obviously everyone is at risk.
The ppl who are working in COVID wards are really appreciable. We have 3 post Covid patients in our department still we are a little apprehensive . Imagine someone working day in and day out in that department.
Doctors ,nurses , housekeeping , maintenance guys ,lab ppl, security guards .

Yup. People with asthma should lock themselves up somewhere remote, it's a death sentence for them. One of my acquaintances 12 year old son passed away on Tuesday due to Sars caused by Wuhan virus kid had asthma. This is one evil virus.

Siddha research papers throw light on efficacy of ‘Kabasura kudineer’ in managing COVID-19




The ingredients are powdered and mixed with water, then boiled to make a decoction of one-fourth of its initial volume.

With a global race on to find a cure for the deadly coronavirus, teams of Siddha doctors in Tamil Nadu who dug deep into the traditional system of medicine have found ‘kabasura kudineer’ a herbal concoction to be effective in managing COVID-19 cases.
At least two research papers in Siddha, including one after the novel Coronavirus began to spread in Tamil Nadu in early March this year, claim kabasura kudineer is effective in managing the COVID-19 positive persons.

Kabasura kudineer is a herbal concoction, comprising dry ingredients of ginger, pippali, clove, cirukancori root, mulli root, kadukkai, ajwain and many other herbs.


The ingredients are powdered and mixed with water, then boiled to make a decoction of one-fourth of its initial volume.

Incidentally, the Tamil Nadu government has also been promoting its consumption to boost immunity, although it has made it clear that it is not a medicine to treat COVID-19.

A study on two groups of COVID-19 positive cases both primary and secondary contacts, numbering 84 in nearby Vellore claim the study may be taken as a preliminary evidence of the protection offered by the herbal drink and its prophylactic effect in high risk COVID-19 cases.


The study by Dr. V. Vikramkumar, Assistant Medical Officer (Siddha), Tirupattur district, S. Ganesh, Director, Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy in Tamil Nadu, M.P. Sivanarul, Tirupattur District Collector, P. Parthiban, Joint Director, Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy, Tamil Nadu, and others was conducted in April.


It found that those who received kabasura kudineer intervention tested negative for COVID-19 on April 6, 2020 and those not administered the herbal concoction tested positive.
From the chisquare test analysis and graphical interpretation it emerged that there is an association between the intake of the concoction and the patients’ health status, according to the study.
Kabasura kudineer was distributed to 42 patients in quarantine facility at Agraharam in Tirupattur district.

At another facility in Jamiya College of Ambur taluk in the same district, Kabasura kudineer intervention was not resorted to for the subjects.
They were quarantined on April 1, 2020 and special attention was given to both groups.
No home-made food was given to them, but only that prepared and given by a supervision team.
For the treatment group, 60 ml of the concoction was administered daily after food to adults and 15 ml to children for 14 days.
Both groups comprised 42 patients each and their ages ranged between 3 and 70 years. All patients were quarantined on April 1, 2020.


A five-year-old male child in this group got relieved from dry cough after drinking four doses of kabasura kudineer under adult supervision.
Further, 10 patients got immediate relief from mild tiredness after the intake. No adverse effects were reported, according to the study.
Swabs for PCR for six cases (direct positive contact) on April 6 showed negative. Repeat sample tests on April 20 also showed negative results.



Secondary contacts tested on April 11, too, were negative. However they didnt develop any symptoms and no repeat tests were done.
In the control group all the cases were tested on April 6 and five primary contacts out of 42 tested positive and the others negative.
After 14 days quarantine period all others (secondary contacts) were out of symptoms and therefore no second testing was done for these cases.


Immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic was first reported from Wuhan, China, in December 2019, a team of Siddha doctors took up research on kabasura kudineer and Thonthasura Kudineer — the two Siddha formulations used against fevers due to respiratory infections.


Siddha medicine classifies disease and disorders into 4,448 types and has remedies for more than 64 types of fevers.
In a paper published in the Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care in January this year, K. Pitchiah Kumar, State Licensing Authority, Directorate of Indian Medicine, Government of Tamil Nadu, K. Meenakshi Sundaram, Sanjeev Biomedical Research Centre and M.S. Ramasamy, through their study, demonstrated kabasura kudineer could be a potential Siddha medicine for COVID-19, provided further preclinical and clinical confirmatory studies were conducted.


Kabasura kudineer contained more active phyto constituents, the higher activity than in Thontha sura kudineer was observed, in the study on silico evidence for Corona Viral Drug.

Meanwhile, two pilot studies conducted in May and June 2020 by the National Institute of Siddha, Tambaram, here and SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre on the herbal concoction revealed that 99 per cent COVID-19 cases turned negative within five days.

It's cytokine storm . Now who is more prone to develop cytokine storm is impossible to tell as of now

I've refrained till now from saying this. But an extremely sad end, my father's friend and his hometown senior, expired showing this same symptom. Body was in morgue for 2 days and authorities performed the last rites.

Timeline:

1. Severe cough and cold with fever, 5 days BD (before death).

2. Prescription unattended to because of stigma of testing for corona. 4 days BD.

3.Health failing. Person had no history of excessive smoking, drinking or traumatic relationship with any family member or in-laws. Still refrained from doctor's advice. 3 days BD.

4. 2 days and 1 days BD he was bedridden. Family members ignorant of anything and refrained from calling help or even the administration.

5. Day of Death. Victim went outside to a Corona test center. Came back half-dead and writhing in suffocation. Fell on railing of stairs. In-laws came to take him to hospital. By that time, It was all gone.

He kept silent because of social stigma and thought any higher power will heal him as he was religious. Now, a healthy happy socialite is no more. And age?? In his sixties, just!!

Guys be very VERY careful!! Don't be afraid of any social stigma or whatever. Your life is in your hand. It'll be too late if you discount this COVID as any severe influenza. This stink from Yellow Land will rip out your lungs and life at once. Stay safe!! Stay responsible to yourself first!!
