COVID-19 Encouragement Update is a message from Dr. Richardson to let viewers know that the coronavirus situation is improving. The death rate form COVID-19 is decreasing even though the number of new cases is increasing.
Doctors have an understanding of this novel disease which has caused a pandemic. There are now effective treatments for moderately to critically ill COVID-19 infected patients. Attempts to control the spread if the disease have caused widespread unemployment, social distancing, and some level of disruption to our daily routine.
Those of us who are believers are trusting that God is in control and that He will work all things out for the good. There are reasons to have hope.
If you have recovered from COVID-19 and would like to donate blood that can be used to create convalescent plasma, follow this link:
An intravenous infusion of convalescent plasma can help a patient to recover who has been hospitalized due to moderate to severe coronavirus infection.
Cytokine Storm is very serious and life-threatening complication of a COVID-19 infection. It is an overwhelming inflammatory reaction that occurs because the immune system turns on and releases cytokines to fight the infection, but then the immune system fails to turn off when the infection is no longer a danger to the body. This failure of the immune system to turn off triggers the Cytokine Storm.
This aggressive inflammation causes damage to vital organs and, if the cytokine storm is not treated, the patient can die.
The good news is that there are medications (immune modulators) that can calm the inflammation that is raging and to stop the cytokine storm.
Photo-immunology therapy is thought to bean effective to treatment for the cytokine storm. This therapy utilizes UVB light to calm the immune system and to stop a cytokine storm.
