Dealing with CV-19 is not an excuse. It is unfortunately a fact that affects the entire world.
For KBLB it shut down Prodigy production. In addition it changed the timing of everything. That does not mean s-1 is looking bad. It simply means adjustments need to be made to take into consideration the negative affects CV-19 has on KBLB.
"if the s-1 was looking good, he wouldnt need 9 more months of funding.."
That is correct. He didn't need 9 more months of funding until CV-19 came into play. And that affected the timing.
