New non-steroidal anti-inflammatory can inhibit the cytokine storm and preserve innate immunity

Very early in the COVID-19 pandemic clinical trials in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed that corticosteroids like dexamethasone reduced mortality, but they were harmful when applied at the first COVID-19 symptoms, due to the weakening of innate antiviral immunity, leading to delayed viral clearance and adverse outcomes in severe viral pneumonias.
