Fair enough. Probably time for me to go outside and watch the sea. Yeah, Marina Hyde is a perfect human, it's true.
*reporters... not 'reported'. Can't blame the spellchecker this time. :-(
I think you missed the wink ...
And Deeks is a twat. The Grauniad (not a typo) used to be a half decent paper but it went downhill under Rusbridger and Viner seems determined to kill it off. There are a few good reported and columnists on there still though (what would one do without e regular dose of Marina Hyde, eh?)
Jonathan Deeks not Leak. Damn spellchecker!
Regulator. Whatever. I'm pointing out the article itself isn't conclusive.
We all know that there are new companies now making reagents- AVCT and FAB. But they aren't onstream yet. The representative body for existing manufacturers is representing it's members. The representative body for existing manufacturers made the claim. They are also obviously talking about lab based tests when we have poc tests coming out. As investors we have to learn to distinguish the noise from relevant facts
The Guardian is a good paper. They aren't always on top of every story. They follow leads and don't always bottom things out. We've had it before when they leaked Johnathan Leak ****ging off the RTC saying the ABC isn't validated when it is (when when we all knew he had his own interest in developing an antibody test at Birmingham University- which he failed to disclose to the Guardian).
Your personal political perspective isn't relevant to my investment or anyone else's.
"The DHSC say they are absolutely on track for 500,000 tests a day."
Given that they've lied consistently and fudged the figures, and based on extensive experience of dealing with them, I think think I'll give assurances from DHSC the weight they truly deserve... ;-)
Mizman, Read the article. The DHSC say they are absolutely on track for 500,000 tests a day. My guess is that they are intending to distribute plenty of antibody pocs and antigen pocs in the mix by the end of October which won't need so much of the reagents. And there are a couple of new firms which manufacture reagents still to come on stream. AVCT is down too today if that was an issue- not explaining the pressure on the sp.
The market is in a complete state. Waking up to a recession coming with high levels of unemployment. Maybe some pi's feel they can't wait for it to bounce back in the next day or so when the launch of the NHS app puts a massive torchlight on the feasibility of mass testing.
Bad news on the economic front makes us all lose confidence. But we don't stay down for long. Market makers are having a laugh. On level 2 it looks like they are making 3p on every sell atm.
They know very well this is going up in the near term- like a rocket.
Is this positive enough?
Shortages threaten Johnson’s pledge of 500,000 UK Covid tests a day
Exclusive: chemicals and machines needed to hit target by end of October are ‘a few weeks behind’

I agree with keeping it positive but also we should welcome questions from any and all. As long as they are constructive. Its good and healthy to question and its challenging these and giving responses which will help new and old investors
But if you no longer believe this an investment for you - its probably best just to move on
Thanks for sharing that government report on surveillance MU345.
Mikodox, no-one's misinforming except you. At no time has anyone suggested that the MHS app is the RTC app. The RTC app will however help with test and tracing if you look at its functionality.
