Hello Druss: GUMM and study significance You raise a superb point. Colds generally are not fatal (except those Soviet Premier colds a la Kosygin...). Infecting two halves of a sample population and treating both additionally with placebo as a control would make sense to have the basic form of a credible study (with appropriate blinding of all parameters to reduce observer bias). And repeating it several times would make further sense. Colds are largely once only for a particular strain of virus. Efficacy measured statistically over randomly selected strains would be important to generalize to colds in general. I have a few years grad level statistics in my background (and the degree), basically as a precaution to have a sense when people may be misapplying statistics (the majority of analyses) to knowingly avoid taking faulty stats too seriously; a form of pseudoscience easily perpetrated on the untrained.
