Here's the precise reality of the UCLA EIND experience - not quite as rosy as painted.
At 7:46 in the June 2nd presentation, NP shows a slide of the results of 31 patients at UCLA:
11 critical: 4 extubated and discharged, 4 stable, 3 deceased
20 severe: 15 discharged, 1 improved, still hospitalized, 1 too early, 3 deceased.
Hopefully, the trial-enrolled patients are healthier, or were treated more knowledgeably than the earlier ones. But our trial has few exclusions - it's truly the "trial of the sickest."
We have to be mentally prepared to see a lot of deaths in both arms of the severe/critical trial.
