re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

I’m guessing they are referencing a regimen of steroids. I just had to start a prednisone pack today for inflammation in my back and hip due to an unknown cause (likely musculoskeletal injury this past weekend, but not sure). Had to go to the ER yesterday as I could barely walk. So I’m a little concerned as to how susceptible I may be to have a bad bout if I contract COVID while on the prednisone. Anyone know anything beyond just this story?

No there are many other immune suppressants. I doubt they were talking about a steroid pack for back pain. If anything they are downplaying what she had and what she was taking. They like to do that.

I came off prednisone recently. It's important to supplement with vitamin D and calcium to prevent bone loss from the steroid.
As discussed here, vitamin D deficiency is associated with poor COVID-19 outcomes.
If you don't mind breaking the law, nothing works better for inflammation than does cannabis. Weed's anti-inflammatory effect is stronger than corticosteroids and 20 times stronger than aspirin. I try not to take NSAIDS but weed works synergistically with ibuprofen to defeat inflammation.
