Hello everyone. I've been on the sideling for quit
Post# of 148101
I've been a long since just after getting Covid before anyone knew what it was and there was talk of something going on in China. I think my son's roommate may have brought it with him when he left China in a big hurry. I guess we were some of the lucky ones. My wife and I both got it and we were unable to do pretty much anything for the first two days and we slowly recovered over the next 10 days. Maybe the green shakes with aloe very gel and ginger and watercress had something to do with our pretty quick recovery. My sons were not so lucky and it seemed to hit them much harder, and my daughters were hardly affected. My sons are suffering from long covid (none of my kids do the green shake daily ritual). One son is much worse then the other and sometimes I get very concerned for his well being. He had to ask for a leave of absence and is now approaching their allotted return to work date. So I am very much looking forward to getting our drug approved for anything.
Respert, in response to your post, I'm fairly ignorant of the way CROs and these mice studies go so I probably should not give my 15 cents worth (woops, now 13.99) but what the hell... It's Friday and I'm working from home and I'm about to buy something on sale (again)! I think its a great idea to do what you're saying, however, how much would it cost us? I would imagine that there would need to be another group of mice that would be allowed to live longer. I have no idea how much the CRO would charge for that, but I would definitely think that if we can afford it, Dr. J. should make it happen. I imagine Ohm will chime in on the merits of going in that direction.
For the record, my background: I'm retired US Navy, Submarines, fast attacks and boomers. Trained and operated on Naval Nuclear Power and Propulsion. Saw action off the coast of Pakistan when 911 happened. Worked for 13 years at a civilian nuclear power plant until it was shutdown. Went back to school for two years for Engineering, then saw an opportunity to work in a Big Pharma manufacturing facility for a few years. I did see first hand just how some drugs our made. It is quite extraordinary and expensive. I've never seen so much stainless steel in one building. It truly is so clean you could eat off the floor and not get any unwanted viruses. I remember several times having to respond to the dreaded -80 C warning and having less then 5 minutes to transfer in excess of 1 million dollars worth of drugs to a standby freezer. There are so many frigging potential alarms and only two operators. xxit hit the fan one too many times for me and I had to say good bye to that endeavor. I sold everything, bought an RV and now 80000 miles later and a very sore left wrist and elbow, I decided to go back to work and enjoy working on high tech unmanned aircraft (very cool stuff).
Moderators, thank you for all you do. Keep making this platform useful for only us longs.
Please keep the price above 15 cents for you day traders out there. I can not control myself when the price hits new 52 month lows. I've already increased my initial number by over 13x. It's like an adrenalin rush. One bad habit I know I should stop but can't.
I think we are on the cusp of a very great moment in the drug pharma industry!
