Is nasal delivery a traditional thing?

Assuming they actually mean that it would stop you from getting and transmitting covid with high probability, and that they're correct, thats a pretty attractive selling point.

But like with any other pharma innovation, I'm not gonna be a part of the first commercial wave, or even the second or third unless I'm incredibly worried about the alternative, which I'm not at the moment (although let's see how hard this thing is "marketed" - am I going to be able to live life without it?).

It's definitely not new technology, having been in use since the 1980s, mostly for flu.

Another plus for it then. Still a no go for at least the first few rounds though.
