Help doctors! what're the treatments for sars?

Symptomatic: There are indications that tamiflu (oseltamivir) may work but since it can't be studied, we just have to rely on expert's words. We treat it symptomatically, put on ventilator if needed, treat the inflammation, and have expectant waiting for the best. It is a virus and probably self limiting except for the devastation along the way.

SARS-CoV -SARS-Cov2: SARS (Severe acute respiratory Syndrome) which was caused by SARS-CoV arose in 2003 and died out. Are you referring to SARS CoV2 which is the virus that causes COVID 19? There was no curative treatment for SARS and there currently is no curative treatment for COVID 19.-
