ha ha, they said who could get there on time the most economical... but really, it is the one that gets there first will get the greater press attention... foot down, fasten your seat belts..
hopefully when the US opens there will be more talk of Pfizer and the Covid pill which needs to filter into the news more... it was mentioned a couple of times today on Bloomberg tv..
they will be lifting them before a Virgin Atlantic IPO...
..the first question Guy Johnson asked Shai Weiss this morning on Bloomberg tv is "when will the Virgin Atlantic IPO be?"

@IAGLongterm, l was trying to work out what the extra shares in the rights issue would do to the SP relating to past share price history.. what l realized in the end, rightly or wrongly, is that IAG at some point would buy back shares probably in tandem to paying dividends in the unfolding story and if so past share price targets are still relevant in the much longer time frame..

@ Pianista, the new normal is looking very normal now with the arrival of the COVID pill, it is administered after infection and in trials there has been zero deaths, this is a remarkable developments in the Covid story and is a true turning point to a full recovery beyond what was a new normal would have been… CNBC have even got as far as saying COVID could be over by January.. from what l have learnt since Friday l do not think l am over stating the case…
@No1Scarlet, yes the green boxes are full of vanity and self illusions.. he is feeling majestic & grandiose in his own being…
…a light bulb grows brighter before it is extinguished…!!
the Molnupiravir has 10 million courses by end of the year and generic manufactures in India to accelerate distribution to 100 low and middle income countries once approved, the UK has been the first country to approve it.. molnupiravir can beat most common SARS-CoV-2 variants, including delta and gamma.
Molnupiravir l think was good news but maybe the market really moved on Friday because Pfizer really crystallized the facts...

#gamechanger :)
dosage is the same, twice daily for 5 days..
the big advantage of the pill is that it can be taken at home and keep people out of hospital..!
