AUTHOR: ATTY. ALEXIS C. ALBAO,MD,MHA,CSEE Is steam inhalation therapy potent enough to stop COVID-19 pandemic? Let us see from the standpoint of one of the COVID-19 sufferers, who  testified that the virus causes irritation of the throat, causes dry cough and thereafter causing fever, as substantial full manifestation of the disease. I doubt if others would testify otherwise, or testify that the initially affected area is not in the respiratory tract.

And their views need to be revisited.
