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?

So long story short… Big fat eczema flare up. Huge. Spreads over my hands and down my legs. Bleeding when I walk. All over face and chest and cannot leave the house. Call GP, crying my eyes out. Say I’m on the verge of killing myself. Please help me. GP : no, no. Stop crying. STOP CRYING. You won’
