I think there is a possibility we could be wrong on this one.
The 10k or slightly more than 10k testing numbers have been mentioned a few times.
But they couldn't mention anything else in the webinar last Tuesday. Can you imagine the furore if they just let it slip we were doing 20k or 30k, to a small audience which most investors or potential investors did not participate in.
Any news like that has to come via rns. And I think it will come this week.
Not expecting numbers to be much over 10k per month at the moment. Would love to be wrong.
