That Which Didn’t Kill You, Cost $$$ The “Old Normal” = Life with the “Common Cold” TM In 2001 the estimated direct economic burden (US alone) of symptomatic, non - influenza viral respiratory infections (VRIs) = $17B/year 1 • Medical Services ($7.7B) • Complications such as asthma ($4.8B) • OTC Medications ($2.9B) • Symptomatic Treatments ($400M) • Antibiotics (> $1.1B) Indirect costs (missed work, childcare, eldercare, etc.) further increase economic burden Increase in mortality is also seen: A dult hospitalized patients with non - influenza respiratory viruses detected found higher population - based incidence, significantly more ICU admissions, and higher in - house mortality (2017 - 2019, NYC) 2 1 Arch Intern Med 2003,163:487 - 494 2 Influenza Other Respiratory Viruses. 2021;00:1 – 8. JID 2020:222 (1 July) • Nickbakhsh et al 6

 

 

SARS - CoV - 2 is likely to persist The “New Normal” = Life with SARS - CoV - 2 ▪ Persistent vaccine hesitancy ▪ Infections have been seen year round ▪ Potential for seasonal surges ▪ Politicized nature of interventions ▪ New cases in vaccinated individuals ▪ Immigration ▪ Global travel & emerging variants What might COVID - 19 be like in 2026? NYT, March 15, 2021 “723 epidemiologists on when and how the U.S. can fully return to normal” Without a therapy, r ecurring SARS - CoV - 2 “similar to Influenza” threatens to pose a significant burden “Thinking around five years into the future, if you had to guess, what will the state of Covid - 19 be in the United States?” Low - level spread, similar to influenza Periodic lockdowns A variant will cause another pandemic Covid - 19 will be eradicated 87% 9% 2% 1% 7

 

 

SARS - CoV - 2/COVID - 19 is not just about hospitalizations or death ▪ SARS - CoV - 2 has both higher morbidity and mortality than Flu ▪ Average cost of hospital care for COVID - 19 ranges from $51,000 to $78,000 1 ▪ As many as 30 - 50% of COVID - 19 patients may suffer from Post - Acute COVID Syndrome* 2,3 ▪ Oral antivirals have the potential to provide a simple and globally deployable early intervention 1 Healthcare Finance News Nov. 5, 2020 2 Moreno - Perez et al; J Infection 2021; 82:373 3 Taquet et al, PLOS Medicine 2021; https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1003773 * Post - acute syndrome defined as: “persistence of at least one clinically relevant symptom, or abnormalities in spirometry or chest radiology" 1 - 180 days follow - up 90 - 180 days follow - up 8

 

 

We Need More Than Vaccines Alone Vaccines are not perfect • Not all people will be protected • Immunocompromised  Impaired responses • Unequal global distribution  Persistent • Vaccine hesitancy/refusal  Persistent • Currently unknown duration of protection • Need for boosters  Probable (CDC recommends) Viruses evolve • 5 waves of SARS - CoV - 2 in US so far • Cross - species events have already occurred • New variants may continue to drive: • Re - infections • Post - vaccine breakthrough infections 1 1 Lancet Infectious Diseases; 29OCT2021; https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473 - 3099(21)00648 - 4 9

 

 

U.S. Opportunity: SARS - CoV - 2 Treatment + Prophylaxis X 2.5 Assumes every infected individual exposes 2 - 3 additional people 2 Coronavirus Treatment SARS - CoV - 2 infections/year 3.4M Additional people exposed (Family/Co - workers/etc.) Coronavirus Prevention 8.5M Assumption: SARS - CoV - 2 infection rate of ~1% through 2030 1 Treatment + Prophylaxis Market Penetration 3 Prescriptions/year U.S. Stockpiling (@1%) 4 Courses of Therapy (US) 11.9M x 40% 4.8M 3.4M 8 .2M Total Addressable Market (U.S./yr) 1 Assumes ongoing infections occur at approximately 1/10th of average symptomatic Influenza infections (2011 - 2020, www.cdc.gov/flu), sustained by vaccine hesitancy, immigration, re - infection, and possible new variants 2 Calculated R 0 factors for known SARS CoV2 variants range from R 0 : 2.4 – 3.10 ( Biosaf Health. 2020 Jun; 2(2): 57 – 59) 3 Higher percentage possible if all diagnosed cases indicated for treatment 4 Higher percentage possible. Stockpiles of Oseltamivir are sufficient to treat 25% of US (https://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/new s/e vents/anniversary/Pages/flu - stockpiles.aspx) COVID concerns are likely to increase testing when patients contract viral respiratory infections • Increased US Government funding for testing of respiratory tract infections ($10B committed to in - school testing) • Improved point - of - care diagnostics for both SARS - CoV - 2 and other respiratory viruses (Cue, Amazon, CVS, Walgreens…) • Increased testing will increase the number of patients diagnosed and eligible for oral anti - coronaviral treatment 10
