PNV - Banter and General Comments, page-6166

you do realise that is why I asked @DocMcstuffins for his opinion of how realistic it would be for doctors and surgeons to use BTM if a conflict were to occur in the coming days, weeks or months. He agreed that it was probably unrealistic. The logistics, time pressures, stress, lack of product awareness, training required, cost.. are all stacked against BTM.

Even @whytee agreed that BTM sales would not be driven by those on the ground treating the wounded, aand said it would rather it would be coming from entities such as BARDA or @Puzzled aptly pointed out more likely the department of defence.

So all I am suggesting is that we will know from PNV if any bulk orders are made from BARDA / DOD or any equivalent entity interested in deploying BTM en masse. In the absence of such an announcement / bulk order, it is unlikely that BTM will make its way to the doctors and surgeos in any meaningful way if a conflict were to take place in Ukraine or any surrounding counties/regions.

I also said that if BTM were further down the track and was BARDA approved (still in early clinical trials), there would be a good chance we'd see bulk orders of BTM leading up to any anticipated conflict. And while there is a remote chance the DOD or BARDA may order some, that remains a remote possibility in my opinion and I will be happy to be corrected if such orders did eventuate as that would trigger me to buy buy buy! the stock that is!
