It's a statistic against the placebo group not an actual figure, that's how efficacy is calculated at least until they have psychics in the teams assessing it.

I get the % figure, I understand it, it is the remark about severe symptoms that puzzles. If it works then people don't get severe symptoms and if it doesn't they do. But if it works how can they tell that a paerson would have got mild or severe symptoms? That's all.
