Here is the link to the actual paper:
https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-IHU-2-1.pdf

So 92% of the 80 patients they treated had a low NEWS score, which they define 0-4 (medium is 5-6, high is 7 or greater). The bulk of the patients were not that sick.

Yet at completion of the drug regimen from the paper:

“The majority (65/80, 81.3%) of patients had favourable outcome and were discharged from our unit at the time of writing with low NEWS scores (61/65, 93.8%).”

Thus only 81% had low NEWS scores. That’s a smaller number that what came in...which the paper states were treated a week after first symptoms.

SO, that’s two weeks from symptoms to better...the normal course of the illness.

It is going to be damn hard to quantity the drugs efficacy for those who will get better anyway.
