How to Write About Remdesivir

There is a drug that has shown statistical efficacy when fighting the virus. It sends people home from the hospital earlier and shows some survival benefit too. It could potentially save lives, and, in the process, help people feel better about going back to work.

But here’s the thing.  You have to throw cold water all over your audience anytime you have good news to share. It’s an unwritten rule of the Internet.  Don’t want to sound too upbeat and be deemed a wide-eyed fool riding into town on the back of a turnip truck.

So as you prep your skeptical piece about Remdesivir, please choose from the below buffet of disclaimers:
