Dr. Markku Jalkanen, Faron's CEO, said: "This is a very important initiative backed by the Finnish Government. We have a good existing stock of IFN beta-1a, but given the on-going clinical trials (REMAP-CAP and The WHO's Solidarity Trial) and the potential for increasing future demand of IFN beta-1a for COVID-19 and other viral infections like influenza we need to begin up-scaling our manufacturing capacity."
I think marku is pretty clear here. We will need more interferon beta 1a. Remap and solidarity will want more from us.. why? Because it's working. They will be talking to farn and while we wait for official news, the fact that they want more of our drug speaks volumes. (As opposed to the controversy with hydroxychloroquine which seems like it's not working for covid symptoms)
R and d day will be interesting.
