RE: Third H7 strain of avian flu found in JapanI have been reading all of your post and, although I appreciate the information, I do not see where this would help us with Noveko. We can not win a battle against any flu virus wearing mask anymore than we win a war by building bomb shelters. Masks will only protect a few of us for a little while and alll of these alarming cases will not help selling masks.
The reaon is simple : in most of the places where the flu occur the people barely have enough money to buy food so forget about masks.
I am not saying you should stop posting that information, I enjoy reading them, thanks.
The first thing that really worries methough is the lack of visibility for our masks. I have spent the last year working in an hospital with children that have cancer (Ste-Justine in Montreal). We all wear masks and suits most of the time but I have never seen a Noveko mask. Worse, the hospital does'nt know of Noveko. That tells me there is big a marketing problem.
The second possible problem is the FDA approval. I am sure we will get it but when ? The longer it takes the higher the risk of seeing our masks copied by another company. Industrial espionage is very present these days and, with all of these reports laying on so many desks, it's only a matter of time before someone is tempted to sell information. That tells me Noveko lacks lobbyists, in the US at least.
I have been buying Noveko ever since they started and I am positive we will gain but the time it takes is starting to take a toll.
Good luck you all and keep up the good words
