00:00For the moment, the corticosteroid dexamethasone is still the only therapeutic shown to be effective
00:08against COVID-19 for patients with severe disease.
00:14What we know also, that maybe we didn't know a few months ago, is first that all the precautionary
00:21measures that are used for COVID-19 works also for flu.
00:25So, wearing masks, physical distancing, washing hands, and so on, are also very useful for flu.
00:32Maybe it's due to these measures that in the southern hemisphere, during their influenza season, actually,
00:39they saw a very limited flu transmission.
00:43It was unexpected and very surprising, but literally, there was nearly no flu this year in the southern hemisphere.
00:51So, we hope that the situation will be the same in the northern hemisphere.
