The fact that they don&#x27;t have a control group is not a good sign:<p>&gt; Mullane, while encouraged by the University of Chicago data, made clear her own hesitancy about drawing too many conclusions. “It’s always hard,” she said, because the severe trial doesn’t include a placebo group for comparison.<p>Here is some historical perspective about using placebos while people are getting infected and dying:<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rootsofprogress.org&#x2F;polio-and-the-controversy-over-randomized-clinical-trials" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rootsofprogress.org&#x2F;polio-and-the-controversy-over-r...</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rootsofprogress.org&#x2F;more-on-polio-and-randomized-clinical-trials" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rootsofprogress.org&#x2F;more-on-polio-and-randomized-cli...</a>

<i>At his wife’s urging, Michalak went to the University of Chicago Medicine hospital on Friday, April 3....and recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, April 7.</i><p>That&#x27;s pretty impressive to be a severe case of COVID and be discharged 4 days later.

Company says their product test performance is great. News at 11.<p>Cautiously optimistic, let&#x27;s hope and see. And not be too disappointed if this turns out to be nothing.

If this goes sour...stock market go down arrow.<p>(It&#x27;s been propped up on hopes treatments like this will work).

I&#x27;ve heard Gilead was a fake news hoax planted by Adam Feuerstein...

Stock futures are up 3% on this news so there appears to be something to this.
