"Back in early 2020, if you got ill with COVID there were no proven treatments
for doctors to give you – it was one of the main things that made this disease
so scary. Fast forward to 2021 and scientists have since uncovered a handful of
options, but the hunt is continuing. More than 5,000 trials for COVID drugs are
registered or ongoing.
Thankfully, these are now bearing fruit. The World Health Organization (WHO)
has recently added two additional drugs to its COVID treatment guidelines.
COVID disease is thought to be driven by two processes. In the early stages,
illness is primarily caused by the virus replicating in the body. But after
this, some people also experience severe illness caused by the immune system’s
response to the virus running out of control. One of the newly recommended
drugs deals with the initial issue and the other with the latter."
