From the abc19 website..

‘The test can be administered by healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists and healthcare workers, and will detect SARS-CoV-2 IgG neutralising antibodies to determine if a person has had the virus.’

pharmacists...

‘ The test is available for large scale commercial distribution but is not available to individuals to purchase at this stage’

government won’t place a direct order; they’ll approve it, and let boots, lloyds and other large pharmacies knock it out for a fixed profit margin.

I could be wrong, but handjob and Bozo won’t be dipping into their pockets to pay for our Antibody tests. We want to travel, employers want to get us back to work... we will end up paying for the test

After reading the detail on the UK-RTC website, I’m starting to have a slightly different viewpoint on the intentions of the UK-RTC/Gov testing strategy. Given the commercialisation of the kit, and now seemingly being made available for companies to purchase, maybe the Gov are going to endorse the kit, allowing it to form part of an immunity passport for a period of up to 3/4 months before a new test is required, rather than actually stumping up the cash to pay for the kit and distribute it itself.

From a cost point of view, they’ll save billions, and pass that cost on to companies who will want the test for as many employees as possible to get the economy working again.

My gut feeling is we won’t see a government order, but we will see a government endorsement now, which will carry a lot of weight with international sales and and at home. Imagine, you can buy a £50 kit from Superdrug or you can buy a £13 government approved kit, that allows for foreign travel without quarantine.. where do I sign?

An intraday RNS antibody, I mean anybody..?

The instructions video has changed, it’s longer and more detailed than yesterday.

now it explains the posting process, and that you can find priority post boxes with NHS stickers on via the Royal Mail website.

It’s a joke. No lab capacity for Antigen tests.. I know, let’s send loads more tests for analysis in the labs that are already stretched.

What part of ‘THE TEST IN THE VIDEO IS NOT A RAPID UK-RTC TEST’, aren’t people understanding?

The antibody test on the Gov.uk website is a lab test. It is not a rapid test, and involves sending it off for analysis.

Most likely BBC parliament

dummy trades all been NT for 5 mins. Something brewing?

It isn’t the UK-RTC test. It’s a lab test as it requires posting off to get results.

Part of the requirement is to not post over the weekend as it could invalidate the test. Ridiculous

Yes it shows a test that will require lab analysis; not a rapid test.

Hope our government aren’t going down this route, when we have the test ready to go subject to sign off

Hope to god this test isn’t being muted as being ours; it clearly isn’t.

Do you have a link please?

He’s probably got his head in his hands

it’s already been announced in an RNS, it was detailed in the share fundraising prospectus and the RNS

Reporting on the App @ 11:52am, that Han**** said..

Han****: Testing problems will be resolved in coming weeks

"We're working on it incredibly hard... we're doing everything that we can, we have had these operational issues," the health secretary said during an appearance in front of the Commons health and social care committee on Tuesday.

"We've had a problem with a couple of contracts... but it's a matter of a couple of weeks until we can get all of that sorted."

Weeks... not months, weeks.

Can’t remember his name, but I recall a shorter announcing with some confidence that the SP would be 40p recently; wonder if he’s reaching for his fire extinguisher yet.

good news is coming. Not going to make any wild predictions on SP, but this rise feels a lot more sustainable than the 90p spike before the speeding ticket. GLA

Seems like we have something bubbling; someone seems keen to drive the price down.

spot on.

150k per week to kick off; then the announcement of the UKRTC Antibody test, pushing up to 500k per week, bosh.

MSC have just started their first cruise around the med; admittedly all ports of call are Italian. But it’s progress

Found it, thanks. very positive

Yes, but the PDF link will open in the same format.

if you’ve got the link showing ODX and or Mologic, that would be great please?
