Interesting. Are you going to do it @Vangirl? The cancer-related eligibility criteria is vague. I wonder if they mean 'active' treatment or do they mean any/ongoing treatment like AIs?

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:

• have received treatment for cancer in the last 12 months

• are aged 18 years or older

• are not currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms

• have not previously been diagnosed with COVID-19 infection

• are able to use a nasal spray daily

• are a registered patient at an approved <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.csmart.com.au/study-sites">study site</a>

Personally, (a bit tongue in cheek!) I reckon they should trial it on Politicians first .... if it works and they survive, at least they have been useful at least once in their career ..... if they don’t survive, at least they’ll have served their country well!!

@Dory65 don't believe I'm eligible but thought I'd share in case others are interested. If I was eligible I'd definitely sign up.

@arpie it's a tried and tested drug that they're hoping to repurpose by the looks of it. No politicians need apply! 😁
