I think AIM is stuck on the rinse and repeat cycle , whereas the rest of us have progressed to the tumble dry cycle , things certainly heating up , of course testing is the precursor to any vaccine 'tweaks' and new therapeutics.
KT , Interesting to see Promate still being ordered , so I assume ( can be dangerous ) that the 4.5mm last sizeable order is now depleted. Another big order would be just the ticket right now !
Going on recent price movements it appears that market sentiment looks favourablely at companies providing testing for Sars covid 19.
AimMaster.......incomprehensible drivel as per usual, do you even understand what you are trying to say yourself?
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said last week it did not currently recommend measures on travellers from China.
It said the variants circulating in China were already in the EU, that EU citizens had relatively high vaccination levels and the potential for imported infections was low compared to daily infections in the EU, with healthcare systems currently coping.
SaintSmith you beat me to it but your post is better explained.
Testing for new variants is always going to be necessary. Although vaccines can be tweaked, tests can be tweaked just as quickly. In my mind vaccines and testing work hand in hand.
Without testing and genomic sequencing the vaccine manufacturers wouldn’t know why or how to tweak their vaccines in the first place now would they ?
Ones that developed the vaccine are soo advanced that they can tweak it very quickly. And vaccine statation infrastructure is already there, imho last thing they can afford to do is closed down the country imho
I think looking back in history, we have learnt, once there's any new variant, it's only going to be reduced through vaccination and not testing. Testing only gives them time just like in China, zero covid policy to a point where no measures are enough to stop the surge and hence just allowing it to spread to build immunity imho
Fair enough harchris...let's just enjoy the rise in sp. I still don't know what it is about or how legit...but am certainly much happier looking at my portfolio!
People have been saying the same thing about London for years yet the demand for housing kept increasing and the wealthy and successful continue to live there. I know personally five people/couples that have moved out of London since the pandemic almost solely due to being able to work from home whilst I know nobody that's moved there since. Tiny sample but extrapolate that out and you could find a considerable fall in demand for housing over time and then of course interest rates are going to have a huge impact too, especially so in a city that has been a hot spot for property speculation.
Anyway this is probably not the place to be discussing this so I'll leave it there, last thing I want to do is spam the bb with irrelevant chat as novacyt heads towards 50% gains for the day!
is looming,
which way is it?
france keeping up with uk?
or
uk keeping up with france?
the last hr will show , and 1st hr in uk tomorrow will set france on another run,
who will break first?
that is the question.
if rns drops in next couple of days,( which it will) this will hit £4 by thursday.
almop.

harchris - i would suspect the biggest driver of an exodus from london is due to the sate...young families don't want kids going to school there....people getting older wanting a safer environment.
these are the reasons that i personally know for people leaving....of course if they can work from home this enables it to be more seamless.
"but if they live there they almost certainly are renting a room in a large HMO and won't be London property owners."
i would still say they affect property prices. firstly demand for landlords (btl) to rent property and secondly a pool of people ready to buy if prices become at all affordable.
The graph 'active cases in China' sums it up I suppose:

Thanks Kaeren - https://twitter.com/tryangregory - seems like FFP3 masks might be a good idea to stave off the worst and the need to call upon the NHS.
Hoping for a huge close! €2 would be amazing!
T.Ryan.Gregory a good source of info on Kraken, for anyone interested in developments other then predicting SP.
London is an exception when it comes to the potential effect of home-working on house prices, there is going to be an exodus in zone 2/3/4/5 now office workers no longer need to go into the office 5 days a week and can choose to live in Buckinghamshire, or Cambridge, Winchester or Brighton instead of Croydon, Tottenham, Bow.
CS, the working class have been largely driven out of London and have far less sway on property prices. Your shop keepers, delivery drivers etc may work in London but if they live there they almost certainly are renting a room in a large HMO and won't be London property owners.
WBAFC - i for one am hoping for no RNS tomorrow....
"Most are home working anyway,"
?..the laptop class are able to work from home....but your working class (shop workers/ delivery drivers/construction/ medical staff except GPs?/education etc) don't have that luxury
if prices are dropping it is more likely as a result of interest rates and the state of london these days
might just cash a few
depends if PaddyPower honour my Saville -Benedict-Putin treble also
We need a RNS from Novacyt of a big contract win to sustain this increase SP above £6

How dare the Chinese saying we shouldn’t have restrictions.
What have they had in place against travellers for the last 3 years.
Double standards
