Something fishy! It was up 23% on just one trade this morning!

There's bound to be a certain amount. Boris might announce that British Consortium tests are going to be the guarantee that we come out of lockdown as promised - and potentially even sooner. They will also make for more secure borders, open up travel and sport and even enable us to go inside pubs!

I'm surprised that Chinese anal swabbing hasn't caught on

As a long-suffering Avacta holder (and here too of course), I think that both are essential parts of the Gov's strategy to get us out of lockdown but also to keep us there and be prepared for future pandemics. Avacta's news is clinical validation not just of their Covid antigen test but also of the power of their diagnostic platform - affimers.

This means that instead of announcing a Vaccine passport (which has been rightly criticised for being divisive) The gov can introduce a Covid status pass - such as Gove is currently investigating in Israel.

AVCT and CTEA are both parts of the jigsaw in my opinion.

My betting is that he will reveal the news that the UK has secretly been producing a supply of supremely reliable lateral flow tests that will detect contagiousness with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 98% (See Avacta RNS today.)
This means that we can truly test our way out of lockdown in a way that is not divisive of society. Instead of avaccine passport, he will surely announce a digital Covid status pass that offers three forms of proof of Covid safety
- Evidence of Vaccination
- Evidence of previous infection (Antibody test)
- Evidence of current non-contageousness (Antigen test.)
Good news coming for CTEA!
GLA

Yes, he needs several of those industrial sized urns, like they use at the WI. He’s gonna be busy all day, poor lad!

Well done to all at Avacta! Affimers rock!

So I’m guessing that this is the link?
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
And that we are looking at the number of people testing positive (cases) currently showing as 27.2 in a 100,000. If it’s decreasing by 10% per week, could still take a few weeks. (Or have I misunderstood?)

The man is mad, bad and dangerous to follow!

Or another way of looking at it is that they are still building the narrative whereby everything looks impossible until the sovereign test is announced.

I know that the standard of our media is abysmal and there is no investigation of any story beyond what is spoonfed in press releases, but I am starting to get really annoyed by the misnomer 'vaccine passports'. The govt has always spoken of a 'Covid passport' showing covid status. Nobody is excluded because there are three possibilities
Vaccinated
Had Covid (antibody test)
Not infectious (antigen test)
So all this stuff about a two tier entitlement system and impinging on human rights is a load of ****. Why do they persist in this wilful ignorance?

We need the anti-corruption and manipulation brigade

Should be leak or FOMOF time by now. I think many are distracted by the Bitcoin miner today though.

Didn't finish.... Price 54.8. I expect they are planning a dramatic drop at some stage to frighten people.

Not sure what LSE is playing at with the share price. Bid 51.4 Ask 53.8

Yes , that was my trade. I had been madly hitting the buy button for AGES and suddenly a price popped up, so I just dealt. I am very impressed to say that I have just had a call from AJ Bell Dealing team, apologising for dealing outside the spread (they weren’t quite sure how that had happened) and offering to cancel the trade and reinstate it with a limit order. Great customer service!

Zoom, I think you have inspired a cartoon character in Denmark (probably the only place in the world that could get away with having a children’s cartoon hero called *****man!)

I think that what we have been witnessing in Avacta this week is an MM/deramper manoeuvre which is the opposite of a pump and dump. I am reliably informed that this is called a ‘poop and scoop’. In other words derampers come out in force to ‘peddle their shi*te’ on a good share in order to scoop it up at lower prices particularly in the run up to expected good news announcements. By now, we should all be able to spot the poop a mile off and avoid treading in it. (Don’t engage!)

Just to warn anyone who’s bought via AJ Bell, for some reason you can’t set a price limit for sells. So if it’s in auction and you want out, you have to call the dealing desk. Typically, they don’t answer.

I think some frustrated Argonauts are heading over here now!
