Would depend on the model in question no?

Down here things are going a lot better than they have any right to.

You don't think they are lying about the numbers?  Florida has huge amount of unemployed.

What relevance does the unemployment numbers have?  (It also isn't shocking given how service oriented Florida industry is)

Quote

According to multiple agents representing minor league players, messaging went out Wednesday that there will not be a minor league season in 2020. Instead, Major League Baseball will expand rosters for a condensed big league season. There will, however, be a subsequent developmental league, training and potentially playing games out of spring training facilities.

According to two players associated with those agents, they expect to be playing baseball sooner rather than later.

“Expecting to report in the next three weeks,” one source said via text message. “We’re expecting the season to start in June.”

Government not counting all deaths to make it appear that it isn’t as widespread so they can open back up quicker.

Of course if remdesivir shows the promise it showed in a non CDT then we could have a treatment for most people.We shall see.Need a CDT to see if it works. 

The study showed no statistical significant survival rate difference for remdesivir over placebo.

Depends on if you think 3+% is significant.

3 percent with a 10000 people could be significant. Not a study this small.

I’m not sure about the variation/diversification in the study but my understanding is that over 1000 people were included. That’s a pretty good baseline to work off of and is encouraging if nothing else.

In addition to the noted survival rate, patients were cleared about 30% earlier than those not on the drug. This would free up resources to help others, which is an important and useful side effect.

From study by drug maker in China:

According to the summary of the China study, remdesivir was “not associated with a difference in time to clinical improvement” compared to a standard of care control. After one month, it appeared 13.9% of the remdesivir patients had died compared to 12.8% of patients in the control arm. The difference was not statistically significant.

From NIH study:

The preliminary data showed that the time to recovery was 11 days on remdesivir compared to 15 days for placebo, a 31% decrease. The mortality rate for the remdesivir group was 8%, compared to 11.6% for the placebo group; that mortality difference was not statistically significant.

The study compared remdesivir to placebo in 800 patients, with neither patients nor physicians knowing who got the drug instead of a placebo, meaning that unconscious biases will not affect the conclusions.

Where are you getting these quotes from? Are you making them up? Read the article on the NIH website. Nowhere does it say “not statistically signficant.” Where did you get 800 patients from? That report says there were 1063 patients.
