THE third week of testimonies in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will continue today. The 45-year-old has been charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.

Chauvin, along with three other police officers present during the fatal arrest, was fired from the Minneapolis Police Department the day after the death. Almost 40 witnesses have been called to the stand in recent weeks, including the Minneapolis police chief and other officers who have openly condemned Chauvin’s actions.

A common asthma medication that can be used at home might be an effective treatment for early COVID-19 in adults, according to a study published in The Lancet medical journal. University of Oxford researchers found that patients who took the drug budesonide when their first COVID-19 symptoms started were less likely to need urgent medical care or hospitalization, and had a shorter recovery time. It also reduced the chance of persistent symptoms and fever. The randomized controlled trial involved 146 adults within seven days of the onset of mild COVID-19 symptoms. Half of the participants inhaled budesonide twice a day until their symptoms resolved, and the other half received the usual care given based on age, gender and existing illnesses. In the budesonide group, only one person needed urgent medical care, compared to 10 people in the group who received the standard care for COVID-19. Another University of Oxford study that has yet to be peer reviewed also found that … [Read more...] about Asthma drug brings hope for COVID-19 treatment
