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.
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.
“why paracetamol”
Because it reduces fever and relieves aches and pains associated with flu like viruses.
In other words, treat the symptoms and let the virus run its course.
