What is you opinion on Baricitinib as COVID treatment in patients with bacterial co-infection (e.g. Sepsis from an alternative source) ? Should it still be contraindicated or is that acceptable as a short course?

Hi all - me again (35/Male/Europe/70kg) - sorry I post a lot - but I have no one to talk to regarding my situation. I'm supposedly the first in the world with this condition.
