With Lo and Alter on our side, who can be against us?

Exactly, and as Cort said in one of his articles, Dr. Alter is probably the biggest name scientist to ever release a paper on CFS.

I really do think the whole attitude at NIH and FDA has turned. They are doing the Lyndoville study. And in that, the application assumes XMRV is in the blood of those patients. Also, in this telebriefing, they said they were testing 1,000 blood samples. (I think that is where I heard it. Or was it Mindy's blog?)

Telebriefing. I wonder how long it will take to test 1,000 samples? I hope they can "scale-up" the testing process, I thought it takes quite a while.
