Cacaito, explained why we can't count on an even 50/50 split. but for analysis or
speculation on results one ends up putting the same number in each arm.

Look, here is how I see the impact of the SOC in the U.K. The bottle tumbler test gets
lots of aware parents to get there kids treated fast. Attending docs. carry the antibiotic
most used. The less aware barely get their kids in before they die and many of them
did. Perhaps someday we will se how many of the 62 were from the U.K and how
many from Canada/U.S.

Such a hypothesis would lower the mortality rate. When adjusted for the 62 the
mortality rate climbs to over 30% and even when one assumes there were another 62
who refused to enter the trial and lived the mortality rate still remains at 25% for those
not treated with Neuprex. 79/259 or 79/321 Note that in both cases only 17 of the total
deaths of those enrolled in the trial are assigned to the placebo arm, so if Neuprex
worked the death rate for those not getting Neuprex is higher.
