Well as of yesterday, you were out Sang. Hope it cost you dearly to get back in.

GLR the Innova test was 'professional use only'. The Gov. conveniently chose to ignore this and repackaged them with home use instructions. So we currently have the same level of regulatory approval that Innova had. However, Alastair Smith did say that an application for approval for home use was being worked on concurrently. More news soon hopefully.

Strange that the SP has not reacted at all to Avacta's news when it is known that Abingdon is a key manufacturing partner. Only a matter of time before deals are signed, contracts awarded and ABDX machines working flat out!

The Govt can't knock Innova for data falsification when they themselves falsified the manufacturers instructions for use!

"The fact that the AffiDX test is has been developed in the UK, is based on UK technology and is manufactured in the UK, are huge selling points for customers in Europe." Unless your name happens to be Emmanuel Macron of course.
(Apparently the Jupiter slapper got 18 months for his crime!)

The 'when done correctly' is weasel wording. As opposed to 'when done incorrectly at home by a non-professional' which is as directed by the Government but not recommended by the manufacturer.

Answer, pick up the phone to that Yorkshire guy who kept complaining that Porton Down was doing it wrong.

Nice work rocquet on Wikipedia

Hi, as an Avacta shareholder, thanks for your support. I will be emailing my MP about the Innova scandal today but I fully intend to mention Synairgen as well. (I have held here in the past but couldn't bear owning two shares that seemed to be held back by our rotten and corrupt government.)

Don’t forget Bighero!

For taking the initiative to contact Sonia. I must admit, it’s a great relief to see this coming out into the open and hopefully forcing Boris’s hand with the long overdue sovereign test.

Now that you have her as a contact, do you think that you could also get her to investigate the fact that Porton Down is using frozen Covid samples in their test appraisal process?

I have been doing some research into Porton Down itself recently. Another can of worms. Scientific arm sold off to a private equity firm and then floated as Qinetic. Cost the British taxpayer millions. What I can’t find out is whether it’s Qinetic that’s conducting test approvals or the small remaining scientific facility that is still owned by the Gov.

Which is why we shouldn’t let them anywhere near our affimers!

Now, if the bats could actually locate perfectly sealed helium caves, that would be of interest!

In 2007, my partner was asked to participate in a focus group run by some or other quango with the brief of formulating a Government emergency response to a pandemic. (They were expecting it to be 'flu.) When Dominic Cummings was briefing that 'there was no plan', he was beside himself, shouting "There was a plan, there was a plan. You just ignored it."

Anyway, it seems like the absolute key part of the plan was the immediate closure of air travel (inbound and out), the isolation of sufferers and the cutting off of affected regions to all forms of transport (shutting down motorways etc.)
The biggest fear was that bird flu would mutate to become transmissible from human to human. If that were to happen, they envisaged that 50% of the population would get it and 25% would die.

Why are we still flying people in from red-zone countries? This could be the start of a new pandemic within a pandemic FFS!

Quick, Al, cook up some affimers!

What a bloody waste of helium! Haven’t bats caused us enough trouble recently? Do bat viruses jump to humans quicker if they fly in an atmosphere where the speed of sound is higher? I think we should be told.

It’s interesting that we now have this investigative piece in ‘Conservative Woman’ as well as a host of (still unanswered) awkward parliamentary questions about testing from Con MPs. It’s almost as though we are beginning to see some scrutiny of Gov decisions here. Not before time!

Good questions!

“How did Huang of Pasaca Capital know in ‘early 2020’ that the world was going to need hundreds of millions of rapid Covid-19 testing devices when in early March there were only 35 reported cases in the UK and 89 cases in the US? When mass testing for a virus had never been conducted before?”

“How was his Chinese ‘manufacturing partner’ Xiamen Biotime able so quickly to provide a solution to the problem? Did they have some information that gave them a significant head start in forming a company with an ‘unparalleled capacity to supply’?”

Sorry, the other question was this.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many coronavirus lateral flow device products were evaluated at phase 2 in the test development and evaluation programme of the SARS-CoV-2 lateral flow antigen tests; and how many of those products were fully manufactured in the UK.

These two questions, tabled by Richard Fuller (Con) NE Bedfordshire are due for answer today:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many of the lateral flow device products in phase 2 of the test development and evaluation programme of SARS-CoV-2 lateral flow antigen tests proceeded to Phase 3; and how many of those were products fully manufactured in the UK.

and

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many of the lateral flow device products in phase 2 of the test development and evaluation programme of SARS-CoV-2 lateral flow antigen tests proceeded to Phase 3; and how many of those were products fully manufactured in the UK.

So there is obviously a cohort of Conservative MPs asking some serious questions.
