India on Monday issued a new clinical protocol for Covid treatment and dropped all commonly used treatments for mild patients of the infection, including antibiotics, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), ivermectin and antiviral drug favipiravir.
No antibiotic for mild cases
- No antibiotics or antiviral drug favipiravir for mild patients
- No steam inhalation (people doing this in excess)
- Hydration, good diet, positive mindset, social connection important for recovery
- Remdesivir, tocilizumab use only in severely ill cases, as per fresh DGHS norms
WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan today hailed the new evidence-based guidelines developed by the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) who said mildly ill Covid patients would be fine with just paracetamol, cough syrup and budesonide inhalation and need not be prescribed any antibiotics or major drugs at all.
This means the currently in use and much prescribed HCQ, favipiravir, ivermectin, azithromycin, doxycycline, zinc and vitamins are not required clinically and have no evidence of benefit.
The DGHS advice, however, is at variance with the ICMR advisory, which recommends both ivermectin and HCQ in mild cases. For asymptomatic patients, the new guidelines do not even recommend a blood test or any drugs and clarify “no investigation and no medications are needed at this stage”.
Mild patients would need investigation and paracetamol if symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue and other classical Covid signs persist or deteriorate.
The guidelines say no to Baba Ramdev’s Coronil and 2-DG drug for moderately ill patients and recommends monitoring of oxygen saturation, controlling comorbidities and giving steroids and anticoagulants as per medical advice.
The guidance lays down clear indications for the use of tocilizumab drug in severely ill patients and also tells doctors how and when to prescribe. It stresses the need to recruit a hospital infection committee to ensure prevention from fungal infections like mucormycosis and spells out a clear use and dosage of amphotericin B, which is in short supply currently.
The new advice says no to irrational and rampant use of chest CT scans and indicates when to use a chest X-ray. “Exercise extreme caution when ordering a chest CT scan. Patients must remain socially engaged and stay positive,” the guidance says.

Director General of Health Services: DGHS
The Directorate General of Health Services, a repository of technical knowledge, is an attached office of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Union Government of India. The DGHS also renders technical advice on all medical and public health matters and in the implementation of various health schemes. In order to implement the policies and programmes of the Ministry in an effective manner, there are three subordinate offices located at various places in the country which function directly under the Ministry. The Ministry is also administratively concerned with 29 autonomous/statutory bodies. There are also three Public Sector Undertakings under the administrative control of the Ministry.
Indian Council of Medical Research: ICMR
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world.
Die!
Did WHO get to them???
This pleases the FR docs.
RE: Did WHO get to them???
Yes. The DGHS followed the WHO guidelines.

Sounds like it. I was thinking they would go after India for manufacturing and exporting Ivermectin. Maybe this is step 1.
So they are recommending: do nothing?
Bkmk
RE: So they are recommending: do nothing?
From the article, it says:
Mild patients would need investigation and paracetamol if symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue and other classical Covid signs persist or deteriorate.
The next question of course is this — why paracetamol? What therapeutic good does it have and like any other demand they have, the same question applies — do you have any studies to show that it is effective?
“The Indian Bar Association (IBA) sued WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan on May 25, accusing her in a 71-point brief of causing the deaths of Indian citizens by misleading them about Ivermectin.
Point 56 states, “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.”
if someone is taking aspirin pre-hospitalization it might mess with the dosage of anticoagulants the patient may need within hours of hospitalization? only thing I can think of
This stop all mild case treatment reminds me of when general antibiotic use was suddenly phased out in response to the exponential growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This may be a similar step - slow the mutations. Otoh, India is swamped with patients and short on everything, so it may be a political out for doctors and hospitals to justify turning away all but the most critical patients.
Bought! These bs artist are about the most intellectually dishonest, as the globalist commies always are!
They say there’s no proof ivermectin, HCQ works..... But these same people push a so called vaccine as safe, all the while using the people as their guinea pigs!
Evil!
Study shows hydroxychloroquine and zinc treatments increased coronavirus survival rate by almost three times
A new study shows that the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine touted by former President Donald Trump increased the survival rate of severely ill coronavirus patients.
The observational study, published by medRxiv, found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, along with zinc, could increase the coronavirus survival rate by as much as nearly 200% if distributed at higher doses to ventilated patients with a severe version of the illness.
“We found that when the cumulative doses of two drugs, HCQ and AZM, were above a certain level, patients had a survival rate 2.9 times the other patients,” the study’s conclusion states.

She is WHO and she is being sued.

They are bound and determined that ALL will be vaccinated!! The PUSH for this vaccine is VERY SUSPECT!!
I was under the impression that ivermectin showed such promising results. The same goes for HCQ as well as zinc etc. Do the powers to be prefer to have people die instead? Did someone get paid off ? There appears to be something sinister about the whole thing...
No, here is the new treatment.
1. Tylenol
2. "Patients must remain socially engaged and stay positive,” the guidance says.
Sounds like a similar treatment the Jews in Auschwitz got when the Nazi's had Beethoven's Fifth Symphony played for them. I would think some social unrest might develop over this travesty.
The next question of course is this — why paracetamol? What therapeutic good does it have,,,,,
Tylenol for those not familiar with other names.
All it does is help relieve fever and pain symptoms. No antiviral properties.
And if you take more than 4000 mg daily, it will chunk out your liver.
