Two puffs of budesonide twice a day could benefit many over-50s with early symptoms around the world, said the University of Oxford research team.



There are also early signs the drug could reduce hospital admissions.



The NHS says it can now be prescribed by GPs to treat Covid on a case-by-case basis from today.



At present, there are few options for treating people with Covid who are not in hospital, apart from paracetamol.



This widely-available asthma drug works in the lungs, where coronavirus can do serious damage, and could improve the recovery of at-risk patients who are unwell with Covid at home.



Prof Stephen Powis, national medical director of NHS England, said he was "delighted" by the trial results so far and he said GPs could prescribe it after "a shared decision conversation" with patients.

you are getting yourself into a panic again Zizu where there really isn't any need

Catching covid isn't the end of the world if you don't end up seriously ill from it. There is no indication of people becoming seriously ill after being vaccinated (and appropriate time for the vaccine to work)

The media are publishing this nonsense to sell copies ... please ignore it

The headline of that piece is a lot more concerning than the actual content

[Nicky91]

Dutch people arrived in Rhodos, Greece for a first test foreign holiday now

those people volunteered, more because they love the weather in greece, they cannot leave their hotel, but that is ok for them, at least they can enjoy the sun, and greek food and some distraction from normal boring dutch life

the majority of cases were picked up in testing in a care home, all the residents who have tested positive are either aysymptomatic or have a very mild illness, so the vaccine appears to be working

Germany: government has agreed with Merkel about stricter corona measures, national lockdown and a curfew from 21:00 to 05:00

this law also provides opportunities for regional governments to close all non-essential stores, barbers, and a ''must work from home'' order, as well as only leaving your home with official paperwork, and official duties (so this might include work like athletes, sportspeople, or music artists like eurovision song contest travel which is also work but a must to stick to guidelines of course, the latter in case these measures are still around begin of May)

sooo no daily numbers today Netherlands

but some statistics from last week

number of positive corona tests has increased with 6%, in total 51.240 over the last week of new cases (this increase is after easter holiday when numbers were slowly and steadily decreasing so the increase might be explained bc of easter)

biggest rise is in the 13-17 age group (+15%) and 18-24 age group (+5%) the 80+ and 12 or under are shown to be decreasing and not getting infected

in hospitals the number of corona patients stabilized now 2.554 in total, of which 794 on ICU (the week before it were 2.558 (minor increase of 4 so) and 776 (increase of 18)

That’s something that always amazes me .. people who travel thousands of miles to spend a week or two around a pool in a hotel complex surrounded by screaming kids ( other people’s kids at that ) .

We got to Rhodes and live in the town then spend the days on the beach and in the sea plus wander around the surrounding area .. then in the evenings walk around the beautiful streets and get a meal or two , chat with locals and other holidaymakers ... plus do some people watching of course ..
