In an unexpected sign of hope amid the expanding pandemic, scientists at the University of
Oxford said on Tuesday that an inexpensive and commonly available drug reduced deaths in
patients with severe Covid-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.
If the finding were borne out, the drug, a steroid called dexamethasone, would be the first
treatment shown to reduce mortality in severely ill patients. Had doctors been using the drug to treat
the sickest Covid-19 patients in Britain from the beginning of the pandemic, up to 5,000 deaths
could have been prevented, the researchers estimated. In the study, it reduced deaths of patients on
ventilators by one-third, and deaths of patients on oxygen by one-fifth.
