The virus has been narrowed down to either a new strain of coronavirus or a paramyxovirus, both of which have no specific treatment or vaccination. Any new specific treatment would be 3 or 4 years down the road.

Current treatment options are only to isolate, give supportive care and antiviral medications like ribavarin (used against another type of virus) and in some cases high dose steroids. As of now, no one knows which is making patients improve...! Is it the medication or the rest and supportive management...we are not sure <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thus far, the N95 is my best friend.....
