Hemorrhagic H7N9 Avian Flu + Pandemic Blood Shortage = $57,000,000 award to Cellphire for Thrombosomes

What does the government do when it is expecting a massive Hemorrhagic H7N9 Avian Influenza pandemic and simultaneously expects a pandemic related national blood shortage??? Well, they award Cellphire a $57 million dollar cost plus contract for Thrombosomes.

Thrombosomes are Cellphire's experimental freeze dried blood platelet-derived hemostatic agent for control of noncompressible hemorrhage. When nothing else stops the blood pouring out of your body, hopefully Thrombosomes will.
