bkk6060 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yep. And the stock futures are up almost 700 on the news. Let's hope this is a therapy that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yup, a working treatment is much more likely at this stage than a vaccine. Maybe a cocktail? We shall just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant "business model". 1) Spread a contagious virus. 2) Supply protective masks and clothing. 3) Supply drug for treatment. 4) Supply vaccine. ALL of this (except 1) has to be moved away from China! Get independent! I hope the world will learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
