RJ, I am sure that they are still in the race, heck, I am not even sure that they are even ahead of everybody else, who knows. Just because we are not hearing much from them, does not mean that they are not working diligently on their "stuff" behind closed doors.
I wrote this before, just because they are still working on an agreement with the US government,/BARDA and other country governments does not mean that they are sitting around waiting for that order to come in. I am still sure that they are working day and night on getting that vaccine developed, such that no time is lost once the agreement is Findley and signed they can stay in that schedule outlined in that last PR.
I still assume that we'll gonna get positively surprised, about the status of affairs once the governmental collaboration will be announced as fact.
Have great start into the new week.
