Regarding the virus and the silence... I am wondering if perhaps Joe has been in contact with Big Pharma, and maybe he has generated some interest behind the scenes. Maybe he has offered to sell the rights to the vaccine in the US or other countries outside of China. And maybe there is some interest in jumping in early... perhaps when they hit a certain milestone like "Identify vaccine" (2nd milestone, ~4/14 per Pokey's analysis) or "Identify safe peptide" (3rd milestone, ~5/22 per Pokey).

I think maybe Joe is doing his best to take this opportunity and monetize it quickly, without giving away NGIO. That could be a good approach, as it would keep future opportunities under the GNBT umbrella, but it would also give GNBT a huge capital injection to get things rolling.

So maybe instead of a gargantuan payday at the end of the summer/some time in fall, we can look for a still-rather-large payday in the next couple of months.

I personally would take a smaller total COVID payout early vs. a possibly less likely mega-payout if it gets us listed, spins NGIO, etc.
