Recoveries is the the 2nd MOST meaningful number.
Deaths it the most critical, but recoveries is the only thing that suggests any sort of legitimate march forward.
Any legitimate plan forward, any real consideration of 'flattening the curve' - should be focused on surges in recovery rates while trying to keep deaths as small as possible. If any of these therapeutic treatments prove viable, it will be reflected in a shortened lag time on recovery rates and significantly increased numbers in them.
The idea that recovery figures are meaningless is absurd. That's the one metric that can provide signs of progress.
