In this cohort of patients hospitalized for severe Covid-19 who were treated with compassionate-use remdesivir, clinical improvement was observed in 36 of 53 patients (68%). Measurement of efficacy will require ongoing randomized, placebo-controlled trials of remdesivir therapy.

Where did you get the “severe” part? Are all hospitalized patients in the study considered severe? Or were some moderate but being monitored in the hospital?
I’m not trying to argue with you just trying to analyze this article. Were 2/3rds going to recover with no medical treatment anyway? I wish it was a higher percentage than 68%.

Depending on the severity of the patients that’s good news.

Game changer.

This is the key late stage treatment.
The HCQ/Z-pak/Zinc cocktail needs to be earlier - when the case gets serious, but before desat levels get into ventilator areas.

Hospitals in New Orleans have been using it in their COVID protocol since mid March.

It’s a meaningless study without a control group. The only conclusions you can draw from this is some people got remdesivir and some of them got better while others didn’t.
In normal times a paper like this gets rejected in 12 seconds by a journal of such repute.
