Well if your gut is correct I’m hoping NP employs some good PR people to head off the inevitable short attack that will follow. Being asked by the FDA to continue isn’t the best scenario, but it’s not bad either. The shorts will spin it to be a failure however.
And my gut agrees with yours based on the timing if the interim results are presented in the next couple of weeks.

Now the UK is another matter with their cases going asymptotic. I just read a story about Scotland closing the pubs, must be serious! Will the MHRS think for themselves?
