Easily available anti-inflammatory drugs have been found to reduce the mortality rate of the sickest Covid-19 patients by 20 percent, researchers said on Thursday. Professor Anthony Gordon, of Imperial College London, was part of a British team investigating the effectiveness of hydrocortisone on people on ventilators in intensive care. The results of the United Kingdom study were compared with those of six others around the world.
