From what I understand Remdesivir doesn't show results in mortality, but has positive results in recovery speed of patients who otherwise would not have died. I believe it shaves about 5 days off the supplemental O2/ICU phase, which decreases the window in which you can develop other complications and also gets your butt out to free up hospital resources quicker. Mexico just issued an emergency use authorization yesterday. Japan, Canada, and the EU have also authorized the drug for COVID patients.
