@Feed the mainstream media gets it wrong all the time and standards are low. The fringe media often gets it wronger and standards are non-existent. If you're only looking for sources that back up your thinking, you're going to get it wrong, we have to read as widely as possible and think calmly and logically. I suggest putting the kettle on.

I want to take a few days to think about it, I have some doubts, if anyone has thoughts/answers? Helen, what do you think?

1) I'm not qualified as the sort of stakeholder they want to be able to properly analyse/comment on the legislation, we all want SNG to happen ASAP but not sure commenting in capacity as investor will have any impact - it probably shouldn't?

2) Outside the trained staff issue, is this just about cutting out EU approval? That would seem reasonable in the circumstances if the UK process is robust?

3) Agree with Oxford12, there is a big difference in perception on the need for vaccine (I'm not ill = unmotivated) and need for treatment (ARGH I'm ill = motivated). It's acceptable to take a higher level of risk with treatment for those who are ill than on vaccines for those who are not. As I understand it this underpins emergency/compassionate use?

Can't let that go unaccompanied

I can't believe you've named it 'The Biggie', I hope you appreciate that's stuck now

Like it. I wonder if we can re-use the nebulizers between patients, not important really, I don't know if we'd need to take them apart to sterilize/disinfect properly. Or perhaps everyone just keeps their own personal nebuliser and that's the end of flu as well. Could be a bit optimistic but the sun is shining today :)

Agree with monticello, we don't have to. It's a very small company that has always done a lot of outsourcing and collaboration with trusted partners. To do anything in-house we'd have to scale up massively - even with all the money in the world that would take a lot of time and there would be a lot of obstacles to overcome. It makes more sense to go with partners who already have the infrastructure, distribution networks, sales team, support capacity etc. RM has always said the company is about finding, creating and testing the product, derisking it and then selling it to big pharma. Once we have approval (barring unforeseen disaster) I'm sure we will have a lot of options on the table.

Agree with FMG that the potential of the drug could be enormous for many existing conditions, COVID and COPD are just the beginning.

I was originally expecting a full takeover. Now I'm hoping for joint ventures / licencing deals around the world. The politicians will probably insist on securing it for their own states first, but big pharma should at least be pragmatic about affordable pricing in the developing world and hopefully generous - as Dudio said, offering people a life-saving drug means huge returns beyond just the money.

I would like very large payments upfront and then ongoing royalties for a few decades please :)

Dust is not a liquid and therefore cannot evaporate. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I thought we were spelling Interferon

Higher.

May I humbly ask why you think you feel like that?

For clarity, for those who care: "The odds of developing severe disease were reduced by 79%." is accurate.

You're right, 'smart money' is misleading, sorry. For example, it would include Lansdowne, who apparently managed to lose 42% of their fund this year, which is why they have to sell. Not so smart after all.

Smart money is an old gambling term, these days it effectively just means IIs and other interested parties with large wodges of cash to throw around. It doesn't necessarily mean they're smarter than anyone else, although perhaps they are in this case.

I wouldn't want to give anyone the wrong idea, but I think maybe there is a chance that if I'm right there is at least some possibility that it could potentially be the smart money.

D - why would they offer you any?

Don't know. I really wish they would, think it's impossible to say. Herd mentality can change very quickly.
Interesting to hear Fauci pointing out yesterday that flu season has been very mild in southern hemisphere this year, likely due to social distancing and masks but maybe also a weak strain. Though a weak strain might still be deadly to asymptomatic COVID sufferers.
