As others here, I dont have the expertise to determine if this news release is more diversion vs real and whether the COVID horse has left the barn already or as noted by Supremo there are reasons early does not mean the best and most effiicent.

However, what I do know is every major Cdn newspaper has writters all over COVID and looking for anything new and exciting to write about. A first year marketing grad should be able to get significant coverage of a possible homegrown virus solution, let alone try and leverage this to some Alberta MP who pushes the government for funding a home grown solution. Just saying, maybe RVX's marketing department should get to work.
