The justification argument is mainly based on artists gaining exposure through these streaming services which then allow the artists to generate further revenues through live performances. It doesn't really stand up well when the artists are unable to perform live.
A gap in the market has opened which hopefully MVR can benefit from.

It's called product development. It's why the smartphones being sold today are faster than the ones sold 10 years ago.

It's a poor article but I relate to your concerns. I have them too and I'm hopeful the market will brush this aside

Declined to comment is concerning however it may be part of the contract. They may require comments to be proof read or authorised from NHS dhsc.
It does look like an old story reconfirmed from Norwich with comments added from opposition MPs

Which study is that? Are you allowed to give any details?

I'm guessing this is going to be part of the governements front line defense against any future unknown virus. Get everyone in the habit of being tested when they aren't feeling so good. It's either a known virus which may have treatment or it's an unknown virus. If it's unknown they should in theory be able to get a handle on it and react in a quicker fashion than this one.

i'm sure they can be washed while the market is closed :)

sharehunter you are back! have you bought back in?

Shearclass,agreed. Sadly, this is a day trader/shorters wet dream right now.
How much monthly revenue do we think is being produced outside of the NHS contracts?

Oakk, my first thought!

You are appropriately named for this post ;-)

2 + 2 = ?

Can you provide anything further on your suspicion please?

can't say I noticed ;-) not seen him in a while. hope he's doing well :)

I thought the whole point of mass testing/screening was to pick up on spikes of infection. False positives can be factored into the statistics that are received allowing the government/local governments to know if they are dealing with an up or down tick of infections and then adjusting restrictions accordingly.
To avoid people being stuck at home over a possible false positive all positive tests would have to be confirmed with a PCR test (one that you can trust).

Tay, outstanding research! Again!
For e-pcr does it use the same assay?

Yes that's the link that everyone is getting the 7 fold increase from. Good to see someone taking it seriously.
This link gives a little more detail and refers to tens of millions of tests. I think it will be hundreds of millions
