Yes, swans are probably not the ideal way to collect Covid samples - plus they all belong to the Queen!

You can't trust the BBC to cover anything meaningful these days. On another BB we have been musing about their complete silence on the crisis of the Three Gorges Dam in China. There is the potential for 400million to be killed or displaced if the dam collapses. However, there is an entertaining news snippet about a nudist in Berlin and a wild boar. Follow link if interested! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53692475

Yes ARB is behaving like RIOT today! Nice PR job Billfunk. I'm sure that RickTilman will be very happy with his investment of yesterday when Canada switches on.

That is valuable input @RickTilman. It seems that Robinhood have postponed their UK launch indefinitely - perhaps because we already have some ‘free‘ trading Platforms and apps - they just don’t seem to have captured the imagination in the same way as Robinhood. I follow a number of US stocks and have noticed extreme movements (eg Plug power up 15% overnight) whereas my green energy plays over here stagnate. I think I might send more money Stateside today. But welcome to ARB. It’s going well. We just need to be better known!

Yes Triggerboy, isn't it outrageous that our useless media doesn't see fit to cover the potential 'black swan' event of the Three Gorges Dam collapsing with 400million lives at risk - not to mention industries and power generation.

Hey Chesh - not exactly a Haiku but at least the SP is seeing a hike :)

Well that's good to know. He seems hugely capable and sharp as a box of knives. His interview on Proactive investor was actually what drove me to invest! Nice to know he cares about his shareholders to the point of interacting with them!

Hi there, I'm new to this board having bought my first SKIN shares this morning (already blue! :) ). So I'm curious to know whether 'gjbrandon' is actually THE Gerry Brandon or just an in joke here?

Got suspended with my first posting Billfunk! Perhaps it’s illegal to post a link to today’s RNS on this forum?

It’s a very good idea, but is there a broader chat service that we could target as well? Something similar to this?

Looks like it may have arrived today?

In former times, the Press could be informed about things 'under embargo' until a certain point in time. Not sure if that still works not that we have 24 hour social media

Found this on the SKIN BB. (Note that their SP is performing well today.) Listen to 1.03 minutes in for the very impressive statistic that the (AVACTA-enabled) sewage test can identify one person infected in a population of 10,000!
This would be brilliant in a city like Paris where the underground sewage network mirrors the street network! You could get to street level identification of an outbreak!

If any reassurance is needed, take a look at Timster's post in the thread 'What we know'. Then watch the Sir John Bell interview about how inadequate the government's latest testing solution will prove to be https://twitter.com/Tweet_trader01/status/1290411013943300098?s=19 and finally visit the Cytiva website https://www.cytivalifesciences.com/en/us to see how Avacta's US partner will be able to assist with bringing products to the US market.

Could be the YGEN one

To answer my own question, it looks like it’s an antibody test.

Is the YGEN test a worry?

They have an rns saying they have obtained CE-IVD Mark for Clarigene™ SARS-CoV-2 test - an in vitro test kit with99.9% accuracy.

Yes, thank you Whimax, very useful - and a good idea to keep re-posting during today.

Apologies if already posted earlier today, but found this on the AVCT website just now - a further description of how the affirmer proteins can neutralise Coronaviruses by disabling their spikes, effectively blocking their entry to host cells. It’s a further clarification of why yesterday’s RNS was so ground-breaking.

“Work is continuing to further study the way in which the proteins prevent infection and on 29th July we announced an expansion of our partnership with Daewoong Pharmaceutical to to develop stem cell therapies for COVID-19 and future pandemic diseases.“

Found this article in Huff Post summarizing the latest Covid 19 treatments under development. We don't get a mention - although I'm sure we have a role to play in the convalescent plasma. What do the scientists say?
