Dear Ian,
As I have no family birthdays in January, I did a bit of research and discovered that 8th Jan is the birthday of one Elvis Presley. A major RNS on this day would put an end to his hip-shaking!

Please put me down for 8th Jan, or failing that, it’s my Dad’s birthday on 23 Feb. (Hope it’s sooner!)

Many thanks and GLA

Looks like you are right CL. It’s now being dumped.

I wonder how many shipmates requested and received bottles of rum for Christmas?
Recommend if you did!

Whole thread worth a bump for Sunday evening readers!

I appreciate that this is a bit off-topic wrt ARB, but how do people feel about the fact that Dogecoin (originally created as a joke) now has a market cap of $1.3 billion and is the 5th most popular crypto currency in the LSE chart? Apparently part of the buying frenzy was caused by Elon Musk ‘liking’ the currency on Twitter. How can people feel comfortable about investing in a ‘joke’ does it have real value or is it a modern day tulip?

All the more reason to keep testing with a test that identifies the asymptomatic infectious.

1) Replace Yellow Jersey and recruit an experienced Investor Relations Professional
2) Don’t sign any more NDAs
3) Don’t sell any more shares
4) Don’t specify timelines when important stages of the process are entirely down to third parties
5) If you are aware of a Covid scandal in the making due to Gov ineptitude or cronyism, keep a detailed diary and be ready to blow the whistle.
Happy New Year, Al. Here’s hoping for that Knighthood in the 2022 New Year’s honours list.

“All positive LFTs in the pilot will require a confirmatory PCR test in accordance with current public health guidelines.”

This has been worrying me. We repeatedly hear that all tests are to be validated against the “gold standard” PCR which has been proven to generate false positives- even months after infection. So I am pleased to see that only positive tests are being confirmed by PCR and not negative ones.

Neil2802 makes the best point in this thread.

Indeed, it would be a smart move if AS were to make such a statement. The minute we heard news of the U.K. mutation, NYCT issued an RNS confirming that PCR would capture it. (SP up 10% that day.) Same thing for BVC with a similar RNS. Another comms opportunity missed by AVCT. In fact it was left to Gerry Brandon at Deepverge to confirm that Affimers picked up the latest mutations.

Let’s not forget that most of the Universities will have a mass spectrometer available.

Is that the one that’s stuck in the trap for months?

Meant 31 Dec doh!

Morning Ian, we still have another 4 hours for news to land.
My daughter loves having 31 Jan as her birthday because there’s always a party somewhere for her to claim as her own....well perhaps not this year :(

They should have trained non medical people to administer the vaccine. How hard can it be?

Oh well, as PL says, why not just pump it into the arms of the vulnerable and just see what happens then? After all, money isn’t real any more.

So if people get an untrialled ****tail of vaccines - at the Government’s instruction - does that make the Gov liable for compensation in the event of unexpected side effects?

Yes, Jan 1st. Googled it.

If Russian Christmas is Jan 7th, when is Russian New year?

I must admit, I’m tempted to become an ‘all-inner’ and yet I can’t bear to sell AVCT at a loss!
