Sachin Tendulkar in hospital with Covid, praying for a swift recovery for the little master. An EUA in India for SNG001 would do no harm, especially as BBC news is reporting a record rise in daily cases there.
Maybe Wolverine knows something about the virus that we don't! He could be right, Covid could have all sorts of abilities that we are not aware of.
Happy, it seems you may not fully understand the Synairgen story. Its therapeutic nebulised interferon is termed as agnostic. This means that it works for any respiratory virus by improving the immune response. Whether or not sales are generated in any major way for Covid 19, Synairgen's therapy will be there for respiratory viruses and should be stockpiled for future pandemics. Or are you just trying to buy in cheaper?
Bullish indeed. I loved the potted history of Synairgen, and the bank of scientific knowledge that has come as a result of their work. It therefore makes complete sense that nebulised interferon should work for those who are 'interferon compromised' and have a respiratory virus.
Nice find Kevin. I skimmed through it, and Sir Stephen can do no wrong in my eyes - he is brilliant, clear and level headed. I love the way he dealt with the corticosteroid issue without actually saying that its efficacy is highly questionable, as it only treats the symptoms rather than aiding the body in attacking the virus. I remain convinced of the SNG story and flabbergasted that the scientific community are not 'all in'.
Hurtle, I'm afraid that I couldn't disagree more. I work in a small medical establishment with about 20 staff. We have strict measures in place which mostly rely on protection permanently with type 2R masks. One staff member caught Covid from outside the team and was working in close proximity to others before she was diagnosed. No one else caught Covid. I remain convinced of the efficacy of masks.
The market cap of a company is merely the value of a company based on a figure calculated by multiplying the number of shares in issue by the price of each share, so it changes according to the variation in share price. Hope that helps.
There's an interesting piece by Pat Hagan, freelance journalist, in the Daily Mail (sorry!) regarding genetic disposition in young adults and its link to natural interferon levels. I have emailed him this morning regarding the travesty of SNG001's seemingly slow route to availability and the high chance of the US approving first. His email address can be found on his Twitter account. I think we need to push for more coverage and questions. So many lives could have been saved......
I reckon Happy is Peter Horby. Probably hasn't followed any Holgate inspired Science!
I hesitate to add a comment on this thread, so please don't shoot me down!
SNG have been developing this drug and it's delivery system over many years, primarily for COPD. Due to the pandemic, COPD work was paused in order to step sideways into COVID trials, as it made sense and is potentially a very exciting therapeutic. The great potential long term is for COPD and respiratory viruses, not just COVID. :)
Thanks Wilson. Always the experts said Test, Treat and Vaccinate. Not an anti-vaxxer, but for me there are too many long term unknowns with the vaccine. Novacyt is by far and away the best testing company. Extremely worried by the 1 in 4 false negatives of LFTs. Testing those twice only brings it down to 1 in 16 chance of being positive from a negative LFT test. That's still too much risk in my mind for a student to come home from university and see Granny. With regards to treatment, I have high hopes for SNG, not just a Covid play.
Been in here since Jan/Feb, gradually added. The fundamentals of the company are extremely solid. Good leadership, excellent expertise, early movers and selling early. This will always reflect in share price in time. Patience will lead to much greater reward. Personally, I was extremely buoyed by the recent director buys.
I presume you mean Antibody. Novacyt PCR test is an antigen test ie 'are you Covid positive?'.
