But your third to last sentence is dead wrong, and it's the same error that you keep making. If the drug doesn't help you, you'll probably survive, because most people who go into the hospital with Covid-19 survive.

Think like a nurse and trust the medical team taking care of you. It's not as much fun as pretending you are a trader and can call shots that might save you, but at some point you need to accept that there are things you can't control.
Your last sentence is quite amusing. You and Adder are seeking maximum control. I’m saying I’ll take an educated guess if it’s all I’ve got. I’m quite aware I’ll have limited control, but what limited control I do have I will exercise with the best evidence I have at the time.

Added, OTOH, can go on a ventilator to avoid that 2% risk of cardiac arrest.
