Question: You are a research assistant at a firm that invests in pharmaceuticals. Your manager asks you to write a report about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir, an antiviral drug that your firm is considering for investment. She insists you use a high quality source of information and address these key points:

- the credibility of your source of information
- remdesivir's effectiveness in treating COVID-19
- how we know whether it is effective

To help your company estimate the drug's future pricing and choose whether to invest in it, your manager has also asked that your report include a few additional details:
- the amount of remdesivir given to patients (called a "dose" or "dosage")
- how long patients are treated with the drug (sometimes called the "course" of a drug)
And finally, since these factors can affect a drug's success on the market, she wants to make sure you also include the following:
- any negative side effects (sometimes called "adverse events") associated with the drug
- any potential problems or limitations in the source of information you choose
