The NIAID remdesivir trial that's been reported everywhere showed a decrease from 15 to 11 days in "recovery" from #COVID19
Here's how they defined "recovery" after switching the primary outcome. Is this reasonable?pic.twitter.com/fnnYqZvMA5

Depends on how severely ill the patients were prior, surely. Stepping down from simple face mask to no oxygen, but still in hospital isn't a huge 'recovery'. But from intubation, down to zero supplemental oxygen, even if still in hospital is huge.
Right, but this is the main outcome measure - it's not gauging how far they've come on the scale, it's saying yes/no "recovered". Their old scale accommodated that uncertainty, this gives you a binary outcome instead
Relevant obviously. Is it fair to call them "recovered"? I don't think most people still in hospital would describe themselves as recovered, nor would their doctors (happy to be corrected)
