NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

[JG36]

I think that getting a 'cide that works at all on a new virus, then tweaking and optimizing it to get the drug you actually want to submit to testing and approval, will take much, much, longer than two weeks. A year is not an unreasonable estimate, and I won't be surprised if it takes two.

The NNVC exceptionalists live in a fantasy world where a dangerous new virus is spotted in the wild, NNVC comes up with a 'cide that can cure it in two weeks, and the FDA approves it one year later.

Any biotech investor who has ever watched other drugs go through the long, laborious process of development, testing, and approval must have his jaw agape at such assumptions.
