Roger Seheult, MD of breaks down the latest daily COVID-19 data from various states – some of which are experiencing their highest infection rates. The daily coronavirus mortality rate is dropping, and hopefully, the use of dexamethasone and other steroids adds to this drop as more hospitals and clinicians utilize it for treatment. Dr. Seheult reviews some cautions with steroid use – particularly long term use with abrupt withdrawal. (This video was recorded June 26, 2020).
