The paper suggests a number of treatments. Survey data exists for most of those treatments so we can rely on that data instead of a top-down theory about what ‘ought’ to work.
One of the drugs that ought to work is corticosteroids. They scare me- many people handle them fine but some people have horrible experiences with them; they also don’t seem to help people recover despite over a hundred people trying them.
There’s also the phenomenon where the best treatments (that help people recover) are double-edged swords. The paper doesn’t address that.
