John,

Thanks for starting this new thread. Also, thanks for tracking down the reason for the sell off we've experienced recently. Makes all the sense in the world for the investment bankers to sell at this point. This is their natural role in the over all scheme of things. Without their initial investments the company would not have gotten started.

Agree wholeheartedly with your observations on the basic premise of this company. We are definitely headed into the post-antibiotic world and most people are completely unaware of the implications. It can only be hoped some tools will be available when the bacteria become completely resistant to antibiotics.

My biggest concern is with TB. It is airborne and easily spread to new victims. You cannot avoid it by simply avoiding risky life styles. I don't know if society has the discipline to reinvoke the old isolation regimens practised by our grandfathers.

The staph with the resistance is also a major threat, many hospitals already experiencing mini epidemics.

Anyway, thanks again.

Regards,

Jack Simmons
