Also sounds to me that the computational simulations are completed, or nearly completed. Getting the blood samples to compare seems to be next. Also am very encouraged by the discussions to secure manufacturing capability - doesn't do you much good if you come up with a vaccine and then nobody can produce it for another 6 months while building up the manufacturing capability. Sounds to me like Joe and team have worked through the processes, and while not sharing everything with us, have certainly identified the issues and are trying to address them.
Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath. Although with the virus, maybe better to hold your breath?
