Quote:Hopes dashed as coronavirus drug remdesivir 'fails first trial'
A potential antiviral drug for the coronavirus has reportedly failed in its first randomised clinical trial.
There had been widespread hope that remdesivir could treat Covid-19.
But a Chinese trial showed that the drug had not been successful, according to draft documents accidentally published by the World Health Organization.
The drug did not improve patients' condition or reduce the pathogen's presence in the bloodstream, it said.
There are some questions regarding the study parameters, application and patient selections. I'm not ready to jump on the failed trial train just yet.

Sounds pretty haphazard and uncontrolled.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
