Seymour confirms USAMRIID Ebolacide2 testing stalled and basically over.

Email thread with Seymour from another board

On Mar 25, 2015, at 2:56 PM, Bob

Question: Sir, Despite all the reports about Africa shutting down the Ebola outbreak it seems to me (that) the Army will continue the testing using the cides you submitted until the end of this phase, at least. Then they will make a determination as what cides to move forward on. Correct?

Seymour: We have to decide if WE want to move on. We need to stay laser focussed on FluCide. My infectious disease colleague left Africa out of disgust at the bureaucratic delays. Liberia has only had 1 case in the past few weeks. He also said that even his friend doing the convalescent serum study can't find enough patients. It certainly seems that the window of opportunity has slammed shut. We started the project in September when the WHO predicted 1.2M cases by January. We were ready to go 90 days later but the BSL-4 lab wasn't ready for us. It seems as if the U.S. has thrown its support behind the Tekmira drug. It's going to be very interesting to see how that plays out.

===================

Once again, poor NNVC, not THEIR fault that this opportunity was lost. Amazing how these things just keep happening to such a well managed, strategically focused and communicative company.

This was probably why they tanked today.

But NOW they are laser focused on Flucide, so no worries.
