WHO – Severe COVID-19 mortality reduced by hormones (should consider hormone D too)

WHO guideline panel looked at two COVID-19 corticosteroid meta-analyses and found that

• Relative risk of 28 day mortality reduced 20% if severe

• Relative risk of 28 day mortality increased 20% if non-severe

  Note: There might be ZERO benefit from corticosteroids, even for those with severe COVID-19

  The treatment might have only delayed deaths beyond the 28 day cut- off point

Animals have been converting Vitamin D into a hormone for over 500 million years

A mistake was made in 70 years ago in identifying D as a vitamin
     - it should be called a hormone

"Hormone D" looks like it should both prevent and treat all COVID-19 severities
