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%.

The only way to answer that is to do randomized double blind trials, which this doesn't appear to be. But it is enough evidence to proceed with such trials.
