You are arguing against a point I didn't make, and supporting the point I was trying to make.
I actually read the papers on remdesivir, and as a result decided that I will not take it if offered, whether hospitalized or not, because of my risk/reward preferences, which may or may not align with the doctor's or the system's.
In Israel (where I now reside), AFAIK, they are happily administering it to hospitalized covid patients; at least, they were giving it out a lot until they started treating with regeneron. Now, Israel has its own definition for requiring hospitalization than the WHO or the FDA (e.g. SpO2<94% is considered severe and requiring hospitalization -- if you have a positive PCR test).
Do you think the doctors treating covid are actually aware of the minute differences between WHO, FDA, IMOH definitions? I checked with a couple I know. They have no idea.
