Thanks matterhorn, confirming what you're saying, and extract from the linked patent:
Influenza like illness is a disease characterised by two of the following symptoms: headache, cough, sore throat, and myalgia and/or confirmed influenza. More specifically, ILI may be defined as a fever >37.8°C plus two of the following symptoms: (headache, cough, sore throat, and myalgia) and/or confirmed influenza infection.
The 'more specifically bit seems a bit ambiguous but probably just my understanding.
So Dr Aurelian is then challenging that they submitted some sort of trial plan before Synairgen submitted their latest patent application specifically for COVID? And therefore it may not get granted?
