I would hope that when we hear about the presentation the company's making in the next few days will indicate that they now have hundreds who've received the drug under compassionate use terms. Trials require formality, blinding, patients on placebo's, etc. and data may not be revealed for months. Compassionate use permits the results to be routinely reported on, it lets the world see what the drug is capable of, even if the medical experts don't like it, they cannot deny the benefits. I hope we've opened the door to all who'd like to save their lives, or that of someone in their family, as most on ventilators cannot make a conscious decision.

I'm fine if simultaneously clinical trials begin, but they'll take much longer even though the regulators are clearly acting far more dynamically then is the norm. I believe hundreds, or thousands who've received the drug under compassionate use terms will speak loads if the greater majority are clearly survivors.
