If you want to see very smart people saying dumb things, read Einstein's views on economics.

For some reason, physicists are prone to thinking they are experts about things they know very little.

Why can't we get an accurate picture on this treatment?

The buzz has to do with improvement occurring sooner in patients taking remesdivir. The ultimate outcomes data is not clear cut.

Also I don't think it is the Lancet article that is generating the buzz. It is a more recent bit of research still undergoing peer review.

not sure it is U of Texas. But it is a more recent bit of research still being peer reviewed. It shows average recovery time coming down to 11 days compared to 15 for the control group.
 
Sweden: 790 new cases and 124 new deaths. Positive news is that it is looking like this will be the least deadliest week since the 1st week of April. New cases continue a trend upward though.

thats what I've read (through summaries of summaries) but with the back and forth with Gilead and the WHO I'm not sure what to believe.

Of course its more than probable the WHO has no clue what they are doing [or corrupt].

As I understand it the outcomes data are positive but not statistically significant.

The time to recovery data are positive and statistically significant.
 
There is an information war happening and our CCP propaganda media here in the US is helping the CCP win.

Incredibly intelligent is an understatement. He is a more evolved human being. Pretending epidemiologists are more skilled than him is insanity.

Musk probably could learn everything they know in less than a week and know it 10x better.

This dumb mfer doesn't know about specialists.

The smartest people in the world are only smartest at their specialty. For example, I went to school with a kid, he went on to med School, because I scored 200 points higher on the SAT, that I should know more about medicine than him?

It's why you shouldn't listen to what'insert doctor here" says because unless they're an infectious disease expert, theyr'e outside of their purview.

Herd immunity, when all the people who should die will die then it doesn't matter.
