I don't believe it's correct to say our cells kill the virus, I believe our cells increase blood production, and the additional blood works to clear up the pneumonia, regardless of what's causing the pneumonia. This actually greatly improves the potential of our drug, as it will still be needed after coronavirus completely disappears. Someone more medically knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would hope that in the next few days we learn more about what's happening elsewhere in the world. I've got to believe that Israeli dosing hasn't stopped at 7 patients, nor have I heard of what's happening in Germany. Now there are reports that some use may be occurring here in the U.S., I would hope that in the next week or less we get some more information about both the numbers that are being dosed, where they are, and finally how the patients are doing.

If in fact PLX-PAD is a game changer that dramatically lowers the likelihood of death, and if we truly have hundreds of thousands of doses, or more, and substantial thawing devices, then normal life could resume much sooner. Why? Because if we can eliminate the death threat, say to no worse than normal flu, we should be able to accept what happens as people get the disease, start to develop pneumonia, then get their dose of PLX-PAD and in most cases not require hospitalization.

Certainly we still need a vaccine to limit this threat in the future, but if we can cut the death threat to a fraction of a percent, we should also be able to reduce the threat of common flu substantially as well, in short, on a continuing bases we'll be saving lives.

Again, if anything I've indicated above is medically wrong, please correct me.
