Point Roberts WA, Delta, BC – March 18, 2020 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp/ cannabis stocks and
coronavirus (COVID-19) stocks issues a snapshot looking at the eruption of
innovation in multiple sectors in the face of today’s ongoing pandemic. Crisis
has always incited innovation, creating winners and losers and this pandemic is
creating a global shift never before witnessed. Companies that are agile enough
to adapt and recognize the change can also seize opportunities by providing a
definite solution; which is what
SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) is aiming to do by launching Klen Hands – Hand
Sanitizer with Moisturizing Hemp Seed Oil, made in the USA.

On March 13th, Friday the 13th,
thought to be an unlucky day by some, SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) boldly announced the launch
of Klen Hands, yet another example of
how they have consistently been on top of consumer and industry trends. Already
entrenched in the cannabis and cleantech sectors, during this current crisis, SinglePoint immediately saw the need for a crossover into the health sector as
shelves are being emptied of hand sanitizers.
According to the press
release: “Hand sanitizer is one of the most out of stock
products there is in most all retail locations. We do expect to sell out very
quickly. As we move into uncertain times, we have developed a product to
directly combat the coronavirus. Our hand sanitizer has 62% ethyl alcohol to
keep hands klen (clean) as well as hemp seed oil to keep hands soft and
hydrated. Sanitize. Hydrate. Repeat.”
Klen is currently being produced in SinglePoint's
Carlsbad facility and will ship directly to your location. Orders will be
fulfilled in the order they are received.
"We are working to develop solutions for both
product and technology in order to assist in the effort of combating COVID-19.
As many people know our company has deep ties to the Washington State area. We
believe we can provide solutions in the near term to help with the
dissemination of current, reliable information and in the interim use our
facilities to develop products such as hand sanitizer. We will be releasing
additional resources for individuals in the coming weeks." - Greg Lambrecht
CEO.
Another key trend arising in the cannabis space due
to the coronavirus outbreak, is the boom of cannabis delivery services. Cresco
Labs (CSE:CL)(OTCQX:CRLBF), one of the largest vertically integrated
multistate cannabis operators in the United States recently announced the launch of a home delivery service for medical
cannabis patients in the New Hartford area of New York.
“Registered medical cannabis patients can place a
home delivery order seven days a week at Sunnyside. Shop with a minimum order
of $80 required for delivery service. Free delivery is available for orders of
$150 or more. Distributed from Cresco’s Sunnyside dispensary in New Hartford, delivery
services are available for patients in the following communities: New Hartford,
Utica, Marcy, Whitesboro, Oriskany, Clinton, Sauquoit, Frankfurt and Rome.”
Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB:SGMD), along with the BudCars Cannabis Delivery
Service, announced last week a sharp rise in demand for
its cannabis delivery service, driving an associated 10% week-over-week rise in
total sales, over the past two weeks. The Company believes this dynamic is
being driven by the stay-at-home trend that has emerged in many communities
around the world in response to the global pandemic outbreak of the COVID-19
disease.
It looks like there will also be a huge uptick in
cannabis sales as consumers are buying and hoarding cannabis just like toilet
paper and hand sanitizers.
“Retail stores across the United States have seen
an influx of traffic as Americans seek to stock up on basic supplies. Cannabis
retailers have seen a similar trend, with many consumers choosing to make fewer
trips to dispensaries, instead opting for larger, less frequent purchases as
COVID-19 fears grip the country,” reported a Motley Fool
correspondent.
In the pharma and biotech sector we have seen
players from big to small announce potential solutions as they race to find a
vaccine for COVID-19. Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD), a presumed leader, even by the WHO, announced late February the initiation of two Phase 3
clinical studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of remdesivir in adults
diagnosed with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus). These randomized, open-label,
multicenter studies will enroll approximately 1,000 patients at medical centers
primarily across Asian countries, as well as other countries globally with high
numbers of diagnosed cases, beginning in March. The studies will assess two
dosing durations of remdesivir, administered intravenously. The initiation of
these studies follows the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) rapid review
and acceptance of Gilead’s investigational new drug (IND) filing for remdesivir
for the treatment of COVID-19.
Lattice Biologics Ltd. (TSX-V: LBL) (OTCQB: LBLTF) announced Friday that it plans to evaluate its amniotic
fluid concentrate, AmnioBoost, in patients with acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) caused by coronavirus (COVID-19).
AmnioBoost has potential for use in the treatment of
ARDS, which is the principal cause of death in COVID-19 infection. Mortality in
COVID-19 infected patients with the inflammatory lung condition (ARDS) is
reported to approach 50%, and is associated with older age, co-morbidities such
as diabetes, higher disease severity, and elevated markers of inflammation.
Current therapeutic interventions do not appear to improve in-hospital
survival.
CytoDyn Inc. (OTC: CYDY), a
late-stage biotechnology company developing leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5
antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announced that the Company has submitted an investigational
new drug (IND) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial with leronlimab (PRO 140) as a therapy for
patients who experience respiratory complications as a result of contracting
the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Looking at the tech sector, there are multitudes of
technology already in place that can be deployed and smart companies are
already on it. According to a report from CNBC, “Chinese technology giants are accelerating their efforts in the field
of health-care technology in areas from cloud computing to artificial
intelligence (AI) amid the new coronavirus outbreak. Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), Tencent (OTC: TCEHY), Huawei and DiDi have all launched new health
tech features aimed at diagnosing cases and finding a vaccine for the
coronavirus.”
Drone technology is also being used for delivery
and mapping, and companies like Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) are expected to see a boost from all the remote
workers.
As we self isolate, social distance and stock up,
let’s be smart as investors and not panic and really look at the bigger picture
unfolding; innovation and entrepreneurism at its best.
