#214 COVID Cakes 3: Llamas, Remdesivir, Strokes, Predicting the Future, and More!

<p>Elevate your critical appraisal skills as we review the first RCT of remdesivir and share the latest and greatest COVID-19 stories including: Llama antibodies, Stroke statistics, Future Waves, Exit Strategies and Awake Proning. We’re joined by everyone’s favorite Curbsider/internist/epidemiologist, Rahul Ganatra MD MPH (<a href="https://twitter.com/rbganatra?lang=en">@rbganatra</a>). Rahul provides critical appraisal of the newest randomized control trial (RCT) on remdesivir from the Lancet, and gives us a lesson on why statistical power is so important to consider. We also share updates on strokes, awake proning, pandemic predictions, and we reveal another reason to love llamas (besides those luscious lashes). Llama mia, here we go again!</p> <p><a href="https://thecurbsiders.com/episode-list">Show Notes</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3SKlzOLxyztvA1BkJfnf67">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/user/kashlakmemorial">Swag!</a> | <a href="https://thecurbsiders.com/top-picks">Top Picks</a> | <a href="https://thecurbsiders.com/knowledgefood">Mailing List</a> | <a href="mailto:thecurbsiders@gmail.com">thecurbsiders@gmail.com</a> | <a href="http://curbsiders.vcuhealth.org/">CME!</a></p> <h3><br> </h3> <h3><strong>Credits</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Written and Produced by: Sarah P.
