"Can be ready for human trials in months". Funny they didn't say how many months. Let's hope this is for real.

AVI has an interesting method of "programming" drugs. If it does work, their approach will enable them to do it quickly.

Not sure. I am not sure if someone(s) are creating some publicity for AVII, making the stock go up and unloading it. Someone made a nice profit a couple Fridays ago when it went from just shy of two dollars to over 7.00. Two days after the last time an article like this surfaced.
I am far too cynical, I know. However, I hope there is more to this antisense.

Actually, it was the first thing I thought of, too. Hope we're wrong.

This is your antisense, isn't it, Betty Jo?
To: aristeides
This is your antisense, isn't it, Betty Jo? Yes, it is. Hoever, I think she mentioned two bio tech companies. This AVII and some other.

Expect many companies and wannabes to publish a lot of hype to impress NASDAQ for a day or two. Why should anyone have a cure for this coronavirus in a few months when we do not have anything for other coronaviruses.
No, I anticipate that the best route is a vaccine, expect it to be ready in 1 - 2 years time. It is not so difficult technically for coronavirus, the problem (=cost + time) is with the FDA.

Read in the PeoplesDaily online that both Pres Bush, Secy Powell and SEcy of Health Thompson had telephoned their Chinese counterparts to discuss SARS and all had offered American co-operation in the fight against SARS
Wonder whether they told the Chinese, ....guess what Santa has for the Chinese people this X'mas....."

Is this my antisense ?
Well, antisense is partially the terrorists antisense.
Right here on Free Republic we are able to see that Bin Ladens cohorts were in at the very beginning of commercial antisense.
The cover story that Harvard was looking for wealthy Arabs to join them in medical joint ventures doesnt float my boat.
The attack on the "boat", the USS Cole by Bin Laden started me off on my search of Alamoudi and Mahfouz,two rich Arabs,who funded the terrs.
When I found these bad guys in ownership of Hybridon, an early antisense company, I went nutso.
OKC Submariner in an email response to my panic went religous on me,and further scared the hel* out of me.
I believed then, as I do now,that Bin Ladens relatives and fellow travelers invested way back in the 90's in companys that would enable them to dual use and steal intellectual properties to design bioweapons.
SARS, to my way of thinking,is from Bin Ladens boys.
Shock and Awe in plain sight.

Have all the incubation timelines played out?
Will this man have a relapse?
How many recovered cases will continue to be recovered?
What about the lung scarring?

It sounds as if he recovered well. He may be young, he is certainly European. Both those factors could have played in his favor. More and more I suspect ethnic Chinese are peculiarly vulnerable to this disease.
To: aristeides
I notice ,while I was working in Hong Kong at one time that the Chinese hardly ever die from flu ,but lots of Europeans do
SARS infect only at close contact. SARS first started to infect in China.
Chinese people spread SARS to other Chinese thru close contact
The fact that hardly any caucasian gets SARS could mean that Chinese people hardly interact closely with caucausians
To: riri
AVII has also been working on WNV.

"SARS" will have run its course and disappeared by the time any such "quick cure," as it were, ever reaches the shelf.
But, as with AIDS, SARS will be an excuse for yet more scientists young and old to grow their programs at the government teat. Now I remember why I got out of the research business........
