Another treatment (which is not new but has shown to benefit Covid patients in the end stages) is to place the patient in the prone position (face down) for at least 16 hours a day. This is not comfortable but can save lives.This position helps people who are not in the late stages of the disease too. For some reason, the prone position opens up certain parts of the lungs to facilitate breathing easier.
