Late Thursday, health-care media site Stat reported that nearly all 125 COVID-19 patients in a late-stage clinical study at the University of Chicago treated with Gilead's remdesivir had been discharged after a week of treatment. Stat reported that 113 patients had a severe form of the disease and that two had died. Last week, an analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine claimed most COVID-19 patients given remdesivir showed clinical improvement.

It has been part of the protocol used in Nola since mid-March. Is that promising?

At his wife’s urging, Michalak went to the University of Chicago Medicine hospital on Friday, April 3. His fever had spiked to 104 and he was struggling to breath. At the hospital, he was given supplemental oxygen. He also agreed to participate in Gilead’s severe Covid-19 clinical trial.
His first infusion of remdesivir was on Saturday, April 4. “My fever dropped almost immediately and I started to feel better,” he said.
By his second dose on Sunday, Michalak said he was being weaned off oxygen. He received two more daily infusions of remdesivir and recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, April 7.
“Remdesivir was a miracle,” he said.
The world is waiting to find out if it is really so.
