Why not short-term lease of underused hotels, hospital ward or isolation suite not needed for non corona work as minimal risk for general population for flu and rsv. Cheap, available. Many many tens of potential antiviral or therapeutic antibodies in pre clinical or phase 1 close that will be needing to be efficacy tested for flu alone. Can bring to market quicker via challenge study, cheaper than mass population study. Evidence of this is in front of your eyes, hvivo activity way above previous years. Will protect or raise margins as value of challenge study is seen. If they only got to 25% of new proposed agents that got throug phase 1 and safety we will be doing very well. Now replicate for other viral targets like rsv, corona, rhinovirus. Add in vaccines, add in new agents like malaria, group a strep, c.diff, norovirus, salmonella. Capacity will be needed, price can be set accordingly and volume of work available as potential deals will be high. Tell me whonelse will be doing these then if we won't be????
