@you know, so how do you know that.
There's so much about this SARS-COV-2 that we still need to discover.
Who says immunity wears off after 6-8 months? Is that universal? Is it total?
Scientific sources please? Or hearsay?
What was the experience of prolonged immunity with SARS-COV-1?
Not saying this might not be the case, but it is unscientific scare-mongering, until proven. But much of what we read in social media is like that nowadays.
My point is they say immunity is 6 to 8 months. If that is a fact now we know what to look for is there going to be a second wave for unsuspecting Victims? We need to test as the second wave apparently is going to be more deadly.
Pretty positive my son had it in December too
Could of been going round much sooner then media say. China knew something was up but their government told the scientists to keep their mouths shut.
Flu.
Yes I think there's evidence of covid well before it was reported in China. Could well turn out it did not in fact start in Wuhan, but more first detected there..
Sounds very plausible flyingmachine. I swear I had Covid back in October before this was mainstream. Felt like crap and at night time couldn’t breathe very well. Had to sleep in chair for a week.
Anything over 95% is good, you’d expect some loss in POC simply because it’s not as controlled as in the lab
QQ - what sensitivity & specificity would we be expected for gold standard POC test? Same as PCR?

Another headline today which suggests test, test, test is going to be the mantra for a very long while....
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/30/could-nearly-half-of-those-with-covid-19-have-no-idea-they-are-infected
Calcluless they should be called. They don’t have a clue what they doing. Sell low buy high what they seem to be doing. Easy solution is buy and hold. Buy the dips ride the waves.
The linked-in link doesn’t work anymore as it seems to have gone from the site (old news) but encouraging promotion of the companies C19 test here on the Calculus website:

I read that to say they want to remain invested. Hopefully a good sign.
If it provides GDR the opportunity to get their POC device base into more clinical settings then it is a massive win. They will then be able to upsell their other tests (current and in development), as well as the COVID-19 test and any other coronavirus strains we potentially have next year, across the UK and globally
Thanks @scart for clarifying.
Earlier the better, comp will be beating path sooner rather than later.
Although with Wave 2 and beyond - multiple high quality products will be needed to satisfy global demand and enable/facilitate ‘the new normal’.
@plantpower in a recent RNS it noted it coming in December and DB’s interviews qualify that, but @technick has thoughts that they’re being conservative and it’s more likely to come sooner due to the tech being similar to the current test
To that point, & continuous evolution / need for rapid point of care / decentralised testing - what are thoughts on when we’ll have 2nd test CE marked vs competition leveraging Genedrive instrument?
During ‘Budtime’ Proactive & SKY interviews, he stated ‘later on this year’ / ‘end of year’....
Clearly 2nd golden bullet in chamber medium term.

@ethio it’s GDR’s lab test which processes 96 patients in ~1.5hrs This is on a single machine so the fact that clinical settings are likely to have multiple machines means that the throughput is massive.
As for the POC, I think this is 1 test in <45mins but obviously without the need to be processed in a lab https://www.genedrive.com/assays/in-development-genedrive-sars-cov-2.php and the patient can just wait around and get the result. Again multiple devices likely (let’s hope so, that’s a good £2k revenue per device) so in care homes, mobile testing etc the throughput will be high and significantly reduce wait times
Quick and accurate tests will be in high demand.
Imagine if they tested them before the flight. - GDR will be a target by many - 100 tests in 1.5 hours with GDRs portable system.
