Abstract
This brief note introduces the reproduction of medical content, authored by Doctor Paul E. Marik. Dr. Marik is Professor of Medicine and Chief of Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia (USA). Dr. Marik is an extremely qualified and experienced professional. The reprinting of the material was authorized by Dr. Marik himself on 12/02/2020. This material is relevant in the Brazilian scenario due to standardized procedures for patients infected with the coronavirus. Only 1 of the 5 files kindly provided by the author, in PDF format, was selected and reproduced as received, without any editing. Due to the pandemic's long duration, the Journal editors (who are not medical doctors) have already had the opportunity to monitor the development of the disease in more than one infected person. The type of treatment offered to patients seems to influence the course, duration, and severity of the disease. The treatments described in the materials below appear to be effective and have good results. The editors will refrain from making additional comments on the proposed methods not to influence anyone, restricting themselves to suggesting that they be discussed with the reader's trusted doctor in case of need or doubts. Complete, updated information and also translated into Portuguese are available at . We are grateful to Dr. Marik for his kindness in giving us his time in this troubled period.
