My friend has covid
And his ct severity is 7 and he has been advised to take remdisivir.
Is it really required as most of them i have seen have recovered with this injection
Remedesevir may benefit only till upto 10days of disease. Of there is worsening of symptoms or fall in sp02 below 93, get admitted and labs and scans will be required. Do not self medicate with steroids etc
Next Steps
Monitor symptoms. Awake proning most important. 2hrs on stomach then 30min on each lateral. Sit up at 45 degree angle maximum. Minimise lying supine.

First of all
WHO has issued a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients, regardless of disease severity, as there is currently no evidence that remdesivir improves survival and other outcomes in these patients.
Next Steps
Fabiflu 1800mg twice daily on day 1 and then continue 800mg twice for next 7 day
