Sec If you want to pick out the word HOPE here we go. It is a logical thought that common sense prevails as medicine evolves that new and innovative life saving and pain saving treatments, unimaginable decades ago, would be front and center now, and drastically needed in an ever increasing pandemic. This virus mutates and gets stronger and does not ask for an authority from the FDA to do so. Mesoblast does not advocate having a cure and who knows who will as this virus transforms, however the cause of the deaths is ARDS. Our HOPE ( and HOPE you include yourself ), and it should be the entire world's, is that stem cell therapy can be given any green light to progress towards saving lives. It will not cure the virus but how many lives it will save could possibly be monumental. HOPE is what we need now and it isn't in the pages of a book but it might just be in the pages of a set of minutes soon to hit the table. So if HOPE is all we have that the FDA need to come to their senses quickly to stop people dying then I HOPE you change your mind because it is about HOPE.
