And luckily no chickens were harmed in the process!

Cheers Travis.

... of the name of the cryptocurrency venture that Dimitry is planning to focus on after this? I know it’s been mentioned on the BB but that was weeks ago. Thanks in advance.

Strikes me as a bit premature - on the back of vaccine euphoria.

That’s certainly the thinking in some quarters.

Well Minho, if we all bag today (pun intended), I predict a fine career in divination for you. I believe that the football World Cup has a vacancy since the sad demise of Paul the Octopus.

Dave, yes the increasing dissatisfaction with the rate of false positives was my ‘first nail in the coffin’ for PCR. I was wondering whether this was another.

Regarding the Mologic tweet https://twitter.com/mologic/status/1332344793234628609?s=20
I guess they are just as likely to have an LFT that’s nearly ready to go as we are. Perhaps that’s why nothing came from Avacta’s talks with ODX.

I was very impressed to learn that the target market for preCISION was a range of chemotherapies worth $56.5 billion and growing at 11% per year due to improved cancer detection rates. A 5-10% royalty to Avacta where preCISION is used to remove the potential systemic toxicity from these drugs looks very nice thank you.

I was wondering how a PCR a test would differentiate between a person who has Covid in their RNA as a result of having contracted the virus and someone who has it in their RNA as a result of a messenger RNA vaccine carrying Covid spikes? Do the spikes from the vaccine look different to the original Covid 19 ones? Perhaps a scientist could answer, because I was wondering whether this would be another nail in the coffin for PCR testing?

Man, look at those hairstyles! Captain was fishing for fillets and the nets were full of mullets!

What are you saying Onassis? Is this for Ian's competition?

And yet we still have the expectation of a very news-rich December.

MM fishing trips seem to be happening in bluer waters now. A good reminder not to set limit sells unless you really want to sell!

Like I said, I think that we can expect a lot of stories along these lines in the weekend Press. They don’t like looking under the bonnet of the miraculous vaccines to any great extent. But tenders for PPE and tests are already attracting a lot of criticism. Testing is either ‘inaccurate’ with too many false positives (PCR) or it’s a rich seam of potential cronyism. Will the investigative journalists uncover the real provenance of the Innova tests? Will calls for a sovereign solution increase?
On the whole, it may be yet be a long-term PR master stroke not to have been involved in the first round of community testing. Instead we can be the cavalry that Boris is always referring to.

They offer an antibody test cassette and an antigen test cassette.

According to the Surescreen online chat person, they manufacture in the UK in Derby.

Hi Mart,
You are right, only the three tests - Biosensor, Innova and Healgen have gone through Porton Down. That was a mistake. Here is a good Q&A page about Abbott's 3 different tests.
