Steroids been used for decades for sick chests. Especially in ED, ICU etc
There was reported concern in early C-19 ARDS ICU use as to whether some seriously sick patients got worse with steroids.

As someone wisely posted on EAP thread, not much different to use in STEROID RESISTANT acute Graft Versus Host Disease. Also comments were made about the statistics and actual numbers may be misleading. Typical media imo.
For example, 90/100 usually die, now ONLY 60/100 die. And as others said, steroids often used anyway, and suggests that these patients maybe weren't as sick as those being treated in MSB trial. Who knows?
And remember there are problems with regular steroid use and acute infections in COPD patients. IMO steroids will continue to have a role unless shown to cause increased problems in some C-19 patients, but Remestemcel-L may work a lot better.

Time will tell whether steroids in C-19 are a bit like HCQ - which works well as an anti-inflammatory but can increase the risk of the occasional cardiac arrhythmia (and death) - maybe more frequent in those people who have C-19 induced cardiac problems.
As the company announcements said a couple of weeks ago, the more serious the inflammatory response, the better the MSB product seems to work.
Steroids, vaccines, anti virals are not competitors.
Dexa is just a stronger than usually used for chests steroid
