Remdesevir will be more efficacious the earlier it's used, but there isn't going to be enough of it to use it early. With that said, a modest reduction in hospitalization time, the 31% he is referring to, still helps with resource allocation and reduction of stress on the system...if the hospitals can get it, which is still extremely difficult.
