NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

In my opinion:

1) Vietnam because that is where the first cases were confirmed and they have already isolated and cultured quantities of the virus. The deal was in the works before cases were confirmed outside that area, with the exception of China.

(2) Not China for two reasons: (i) China wants to do the research themselves and is reluctant to part with the virus. (ii) China makes deals and then steals technology. They would insist on the tests being done on their own soil if they supplied the virus. (iii) Undoubtedly China would use the deadly nature of the virus as rationale for disallowing testing of their virus elsewhere. Naturally, they would refuse to allow such a contagion to leave the country. (iv) Research would be completed under their inspection, in their labs, and with their technicians [Read: steal the technology by reverse-engineering the test samples].

(3) Vietnam became desperate enough to agree to use Tamiflu. They then found that even when they used the correct dosage protocol, they still had patients die. [Do nothing and Bird Flu damage takes 2 months to heal. Take Tamiflu and the symptoms only last 60 days.)

(4) Vietnam is a non-aligned country, which means that they are currently relatively free of outside political pressure and influence. The governments of the USA, France, Great Britain, China, Germany and Russia all have limited influence in Vietnam. Therefore they are free to choose "non-conventional" approaches as opposed to more conventional WHO approved approaches [Read: vaccinate, quarantine and sterilize].
