The laws of scientific inference and statistics have not been affected by the virus, and studies whose design guarantees they cannot produce a valid result still will not do so during the crisis. The crisis has shown that the normal processes of peer review and prioritization, both in funding and in publication, can be radically accelerated, but should be robust to protect the conduct of meaningful clinical research. We hope the research world, like the rest of society, will keep some of the helpful adaptations it has made to cope with the crisis. FDA will reportedly authorize use of remdesivir for Covid-19 after trial shows 'positive effect' on recovery time	./cache/cord-026998-vlmoa5dr.txt	./txt/cord-026998-vlmoa5dr.txt
