Took four paragraphs to find out what it is.

baricitinib

and what good it does.

Saves 1 in 20 or 5%

Compared to Ivermectin

Saves about 70% or so or 14 in 20.

Big friggin whoop.

None of this has ever been about helping or saving anyone - quite the opposite.

I thought the same thing about 1 in 20...BUT, reading on in the article you find that
"Crucially, the patients who benefitted the most from the drug were the most severely ill, including those on a bipap machine to help them breathe or high flow oxygen. In these more severely ill patients, the researchers found that 1 in 9 patients were saved who would have otherwise died."
Medications for the end-stage of the disease have been few and far between. This could be significant for the severely ill patients in ICU.
