Hardly surprising given that 86% of revenue came from covid last year. Covid testing is dead.
How can you say this?
Evidence is that covid testing etc is finished? Where?
Certainly not in hospitals!
"wishfull thinking"
seems motley fool has a down bet going on.
Back to Nova,the present low around 170 is market forces alone, this company has nothing to do with energy,oil or gold resources etc. Already in Denmark we are seeing a new varient,tanking through the population,varients are a non ending story, be they adeno or corona viruses testing is crucial. As antibody testing becomes more widespead we will know so much more in relation to herd immunity (as most people are infected,vaxed or unvaxed)and the ability to fend off viral infection using anti-virals and specific antibody treatments.
Nova will continue to be ahead of this and may well be engaged in a sensible merger with the likes of Biosynex
Is this forum now the betfair politics forum?We need divine intervention to stop this non sensible rhetoric about right and wrong,Putin vs The West? crazy thinking supported by media interests, reports today of using old footage of Ukraine vs Russia on social media.There were thousands out on the streets in Russia shouting no war, all we see is a few being arrested near to the Kremlin.The people of Donbass have already suffered since 2014, time to sort it out but endless wars?
Seems like this contract (reminiscent of Groucho Marx) is watertight and the dhsc have no case to refuse payment.
Yes Harchris,
Having been away a while,I was quite shocked at the current situation wrt sp.The PE article was a poor reflection of how a mixture of whistleblowers,allegations of fraud and talk of profits made during the pandemic underGM can drop the aim market.Shorters love this stuff and I would not be at all surprised if the "journalist" responsible has a friend in the city who works for IG index etc.The use of the term "one expert in molecular biology" when discussing sensitivity and accuracy is typical.
There is clear evidence here on this chat board as people ebb and flow,happy to take a skim on this yoyo share.
Good luck all, the Ferrari next year perhaps?
A friend attended a vax free outdoor gathering recently,several are now in hospital with serious ommicron symptoms.
All incomers to the uk are,according to our dismal leader,no longer to be tested,of course all patients will be tested before entering hospital or treated after confirmatory pcr tests.
Are they listening? Do they care?
He added that the BA.2 (as opposed to BA.1, the current dominant Omicron variant), has already been detected in India, Singapore, and Belgium.
He said: “It [also] seems to be responsible for the epidemic rebound in Denmark, and could even become a majority in this country.”
The variant, which has 28 more mutations than Omicron, has also been called “Omicron stealth”, as it is thought it often passes under the radar of current sequencing tools.
Shorters must be losing their pants just now,volatility has returned!
Neilrich,
having just read through the guidelines for testing companies you published I am struck by the detail required to get approval.
You'll need a degree in mathematics and the laboratory skills to pass these regs, I seriously wonder how many companies can muster this expertise?
The scandal over Innova and other chinese products points to more rigourous approval proceedures in which companies like nova,thermofisher,perkins elmer spring to mind and we know for sure that nova have compatible products designed to work on several pcr platforms including their own machines (and the obvious similarity with the tata systems observed).
Labs without high clinical standards have been found out recently and many companies appear to be fraudulent or slipshod over results.
Thanks for pointing that out wilson and note from it that the "s" or spike gene detection, on which many tests rely, is 100%,PE is acting on rumour and unscientific "random" conclusions,grasping at straws as usual.The traders love it.
Having been a PE reader for many years, the article is full of "whistleblowers" and "insiders" and "failed dentists".This is the second time PE has had a go at Novacyt over the profits made, or more correctly turnover.Little is made over the extent to which billions were squirmed away to cheap and useless chinese biotech which is apparently continuing to this day.
PE journos are a notoriopus bunch who decry capitalist enterprise at the drop of a hat,are you surprised?
Kaeren, I would be interested on your opinion on this quote from PE's "expert on molecular biology"
"The ability to pick up one genome copy is NOT the same as clinical sensitivity in detecting true positives"
This is like saying apples are not the same as oranges surely?
This Tweet is from an account that no longer exists.
Cases rising in Europe, hospitalisation cases up, yet this “government “ thinks it’s all over, certainly not over for this baffling baffoon of bull****.
The battle over nhs support (or the lack of it) added to this compulsory vaccination for workers will result in great division when we need more open discussion on treatments which are already out there eg dexamethasone, hydroxychloroquine and the simple use of dilute iodine spray.
Gp’s should be encouraged to use early onset treatments imho
. Prof Tsang, director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London, was speaking the day after emails emerged suggesting leading experts believed "a likely explanation" was that Covid evolved from a Sars-like virus in human tissue kept at a low-security laboratory.
A sars like virus
recombined with human tissue = Covid19
As I stated this virus has unique base pairs associated with the human genome and is NOT found in any other animal.
If this is not proof then what is?
Politics always gains the upperhand over health, we must not upset the chinese afterall we rely on them to sell us billions of useless lft's and substandard ppe.
I am not surprised at the lack of "evidence" obtainable,we shall never know the full story, although there is little doubt now that" leak "or" intent" are explainable concepts and the genetic sequence in the covid rna is not found in any animal species
Secret discussions with lord bethell using private email accounts,I note that Novacyt were included in these.The guardian article (on the Avacta board) talks of £1B in total contracts with testing companies.Would the BOD want secret discussions out there?
Is it any wonder that nova are quiet just now? whilst the government is found to have acted illegally over vip ppe contracts,they simply cannot be trusted.Price sensitive information like nova hold regarding sales and profits will be revealed shortly. The dhsc dispute cannot be resolved easily as there are complex legal constraints over contractual obligations anyway it's bound to feature in the rns to update shareholders.
Nova have acted professionally imho and all this viping against the company is depressing me and others on this very informative board.
stevev,
I too think nova will be working on this sort of diagnostic machine which can differentiate flu from corona viruses, a very underestimated need especially in america, the advanced pcr poc machines that they sell will serve an international need in airlines and borders,hence the gold bearing tieup with tata.
I'm encouraged by the recent study by imperial college that has demonstrated an immunity response to covid as a result (possibly) of resistance to the common cold.I did state this on earlier posts.
I certainly fear the imposition of vaccine "status" on the right to work and certainly as regards nhs workers.
We need this like a hole in the head and can only hope that the medical unions and gmc etc unite and force this issue, oh and ps
get rid of this dreadful,incompetant bunch of ex bankers and corrupt hangers on.
