Sure but they're both currently under patent protection. Since much of the value of the drug is likely to come in the next 18 months, they're both equally protected.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoWhy do you assume that? They could be modeling 20 year sales.
- tjohns 6y agoBecause after 12-18 months, we'll hopefully have a vaccine and won't need to resort to an antiviral drug anymore. At least assuming people get vaccinated.
- briandear 6y agoWhat’s the rationale for expecting a vaccine in the next 12-18 months? To my knowledge there has never been a vaccine for a coronavirus.
- khuey 6y agoThere are vaccines for animal coronaviruses. There's never been one in humans because there's never been a need for one in humans before.
- BurningFrog 6y agoThere will only be a pandemic market for a while.
- refurb 6y agoSure, but gov'ts will want to stockpile the stuff like Tamiflu. Everyone is going to want to be prepared for the next outbreak.
