I know you are excited mate but don't shoot the messenger when he raises a valid concern. I have a company that had trials suspended due to Covid endangering patients undergoing trials at the hospital even though it happens in a 'different part of the hospital'.
Not all companies have suspended trials but in my case they did.
Given apnoea tends to effect older age demographic and given that is also the demographic most at risk from Covid it is a valid risk raised. You'd be better off evaluating that risk yourself rather than saying 'trust in the BOD mate, they have everything under control'!! Especially since they don't have Covid under control, nor it's potential impact on trial participants. In fact the BOD has no impact whatsoever on the point raised...
