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.

The media will call this irresponsible kook science

This is a new drug, correct? I wonder how long it would take to mass produce.

Oh will they?
Something tells me they won’t. Until Trump says anything about it.

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%.

It’s in the title of the manuscript

They'll find some tangential investment he has that's linked to the manufacturer and say Trump stands to profit

NEJM is the top medical journal in the world. Impact factor is like 50

Oh shite it's the Ebola antiviral. That's good news. Ready for some treatment options that work so I can get out of this fricking house.

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

The media will praise this one because it is patented and gilead stands to gain a lot of money from it unlike HCQ.

Exactly what I was thinking.

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.

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.

These aren't even ethical with a life-threatening illness, IMHO.

The position they're taking that is, if Trump stands to benefit from it politically or make a single red cent (he's a billionaire, after all), then the MSM would rather everyone die instead.
I'm not exaggerating.
