@ihatediabetes- Wow, that was fast. I'm sure that you won't sign anything until you have a lawyer look it over and make sure that it's on the up and up. You are a brave lady. Please keep us up-to-date on how this proceeds so that we can all make better decisions based on your experience, one of the tenants of Connect. Are you nervous?

Regarding your question about being nervous - yes I am a little nervous. But I think it's important to do everything we can to stop the pandemic. Also I am beyond child-bearing years and I took my daughter to California last week to start her first job. She's got a job as a fabrication specialist for prosthetic devices. So I am an empty nester and I have the time and evergy to focus on the trial. I also have access to world class medical care if something happens. So why not me?

Hi everyone, I heard the Azd1222 trials havd started up again. But my appointment was taken off the calendar during the postponement and I don't know if and when I will be scheduled again. I think they were scheduling about 30 people per day. I think that 1500 was the number of people they were aiming for in the Twin Cities.
