Why are they trying to get Remdesivir, an experimental medication?

Had he been on Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin?

Nobody’s getting remdesivir except in a clinical trial for a while.

However - the randomization is 5 days vs. 10 days (and there is a fair bit of liver toxicity, so duration is a fair question), no placebo.

The problem is, the testing sites are going to be overwhelmed with sick patients in a matter of days, and protecting trial staff so they can keep working is going to be very difficult.

Does he vape? Does he smoke pot?
