Jim,

You're probably right.

It seemed to me that no deaths is a very good thing.
What I don't know is what the expected death rate would be for 122 hospitalized flu victims. Nor is it likely that a Ph II would be powered to show stat sig.

122 complete recoveries with no reported AEs struck me as being worth at least $0.03. :-)

Ian.
