- Ozzie_osman 7y agoI'm not so sure. Let's say it halves the number of deaths or halves the time it takes for someone to get better. But also it requires a certain dose to be most effective. How would you know in this fog of war? You'd still have many patients who are sick or dying. The whole point of this article is that it's really hard to know without controlled, randomized trials. And I agree.
- ysleepy 7y agoSure, but more so than all the other drugs? People just have a problem with a no-information-yet state, they'd rather talk about the unfounded rumor than acknowledge that people are hard at work and there is no definitive news yet.
- pbreit 7y agoNot necessarily. There are still a few variables like when it is offered, what drug combinations, comorbidities, dosage, etc.
