3 big doctors of the country told Corona, how to compete with Covid-19, Guleria said - Do not think of remdesivir magic bullet

Corona infection has taken a formidable form in the country. Its coming record cases have raised the concerns of the Central and State Governments. Meanwhile, the country's three eminent doctors, Randeep Guleria, director of AIIMS, Dr. Shetty, chairman of Narayana Health, and Dr. Naresh Trehan, chairman of Medanta Hospitals, told the people how to avoid Corona and how they should do it.

'Magic pill not remdesivir'

He said that in the cases of Covid-19, more than 85 percent of people will be cured without drugs like remdesivir. The symptoms that most people will have are- cold, sore throat, etc. and in 5 to 7 days they will be cured from it. Only 15 percent of people may need mild treatment.

Guleria further said- The most important thing is that those of us who are in isolation at home or the hospital, that there is no need for any treatment really in a panic. Only a small percentage of people need remdesivir, do not consider it as a magic bullet.

'Stay at home if there are no serious conditions'

Whereas, Medanta chairman Naresh Trehan said that remdesivir is not a panacea. It reduces viral load only to those who need it. He said that very few people require hospitalization. The beds of the hospitals should be used responsibly. It is up to all of us. So at the same time, Devi Shetty, doctor of Narayana Health, told that she should isolate herself after seeing the symptoms of the corona. Besides, if serious conditions do not occur, stay at home.
