  • The reason we're doing this is because an increasing number of people are under stay at home shelter in place or straight lock down orders.

  • More than 1.3 billion residents will be expected to stay put for 21 days.

  • As a matter of fact, that's exactly what we're doing.

  • We're gearing up for a study of both convalescent serum, which is a big word to say, taking the serum from someone who's completely recovered, getting it in a way that you could re infuse it and somebody else, or getting out the proteins, the gamma globulin, the antibodies from that serum and use it as a way of both treatment and possibly prophylaxis, but mostly treatment.

  • Very good question.
