Just one question if GB could answer. The Phase 3 field testing referred to the Microtox PD in the 2 factories. Is there testing on actual people with the Microtox BT or is it just the underground testing happening at the minute?

My take on it was that the BT was to be compared along side a lateral flow test and the standard PCR tests on a set amount of people and the results compared in terms of efficacy and accuracy, do I have that right? If so what sort of numbers are you testing on? Thanks

I just watched the interview and I like what I see and hear, all very positive in terms of testing and expansion in different parts of the world, I think the end of this year and Q1 2021 will be exciting. Glad to hear the field trials for approx 3000 people in 2 factories and one of them in my homeland! I wonder which factory lol. I don’t think Gerard could really say much more at this stage which is understandable. Also still a lot of interest from the cruise industry which is good to hear.

MCap won’t be long getting back to £50m if it’s at £33m at the minute now we have merged with MWG. Why would I want to sell At a loss purely because a larger player can manipulate the share price. Doesn’t bode well for PI’s who want to leave it as a long term investment does it? So MCap gets to £50m quick everybody sell before Helium off load again.....brilliant

So helium can just call the shots by selling a massive chunk and causing it to crash when the MCap goes over £50m and then buying back in at 20p to ride the wave back up? The MCAp is now at £33m @21p so does that mean they will sell a massive chunk again when the MCap goes back to £50m? Talk about manipulation if that’s the case.

Around what date can we expect to get EYR? Maybe hen we will see actual numbers of sales etc. I agree the last RNS’s have been a bit confusing and lacking in any real detail with figures.

If we landed one of those big government tenders it would be off to the moon from current prices. I can dream about the RNS landing.

“DVRG wins £100m government Testing contract for Microtox BT to be applied to over 1 million healthcare staff throughout the UK”. :-)

Yes 47.1 down too TPKart! Average of 36-37p. If it drops more i will consider buying a few more, an average below 30p would be good.

I was reading an article on AI companies there and all of the experts agree it is the future, I see DVRG as an AI company not a Covid company, Covid just being a big problem that they can apply their tech to.

In time I think it will be a big name, I’m sure GB has big ambitions.

Yes has has happened to me before too with HURRICANE energy years ago, I was in a good profit, didn’t take it and then its bombed and left me sitting on a big loss. I eventually sold at about 60% loss and Left investing behind but about a year later it had recovered so I should have stayed in and would have at least got my money back and been in profit but it felt the right choice at the time.

I’m now in the same situation here, bought in at the wrong time and bought on rises too. Now sitting at about high 30’s average and my balance reads 47% in the red today for a (substantial to me holding). so your not the only one, there’s a plenty worse off I’m sure. I’m hoping in a years time we will be in a much healthier position. GL with your investment whatever you decide to do.

Local government here in Northern Ireland today are calling for “daily” testing for care home staff and all healthcare workers. The BT would be perfect for that. Instant results and have a chip scanner in each care home/clinic/GP surgery/each hospital department etc. It would be great if this was to be the next step after stage 3 trials.

The vast majority of people going for an operation should/will be able to blow I would think, if your breathing you can blow....those on ventilators or oxygen would have issues blowing but I think it’s pretty clear they already have Covid by that stage.

You maybe right, who knows what the SP will be in 2 weeks? It’s has bounced off 20p a few times now if that’s anything to go by.

Do you still hold shares in DVRG Or are you just looking to de-ramp it for a lower buy in price? People are trying to have a genuine conversation about the way forward here.

So what’s exactly is involved in phase 3 testing for a diagnostic test? I realise that in terms a of a vaccine it’s tests safety mainly and involves a much larger number and age range of volunteers than stage 1/2.

Is this the same with the BT? Any information on numbers involved GB and I assume the main focus of phase 3 testing regarding the BT is to test accuracy and efficacy against both the lateral flow test(which is believe still requires a nasal and throat swab) and the existing PCR test which is time consuming and also unpleasant for patients. Thanks.

There does need to be clarity on those points I agree. No actual mention of numbers, revenue or trial results from phase 2.

Thats a great RNS and what was needed to steady the ship. Everything s going in the right direction. International orders for the PD unit to be shipped out by the end of the year and phase 3 trials for the BT! Brilliant. A little more clarification would be good in the BT though, maybe GB will explain what the plans are.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I believe that testing and vaccines need to go hand in hand and will need to for years to come and as said the BT can be applied to all manor of viruses and infections.

The AZ vaccine will be the big one. It will be much easier distributed as needs between 2 and 8 degrees not -80 like the Pfizer one.

But the BT isn’t supposed to be a cure it’s a diagnostic tool. Vaccines are not going stop infection either, the first ones to be released aim to reduce illness and death in older and vulnerable patients, reducing infection will come later so in the meantime rapid testing is very much necessary to help open the worlds economies.

I get your point in that the breathalyser (or any test for that matter) might not be the answer to going on holidays or long haul flights. As you say you might leave Home negative but catch Covid while away in which case yes you will likely be required to quarantine but that’s upto the government’s to determine and provide the quarantine facilities. The same scenario could apply to any kind of test though.

Where the breathalyser excels is in speed and the 24hr health pass, it has the potential for people to go about some sort of normality in their daily lives and locally ie to a concert, football match, short flights within the same day, healthcare staff so they don’t need to isolate For a week because they were in contact with someone who had Covid yet they are still negative. It gets rid of the blanket approach of ok everyone is labelled with potentially having Covid but in reality they are still negative and a rapid test will confirm that.

Regarding long haul travel I think though if you want to go abroad though you take the risk of being stuck there for a few weeks so it’s personal choice really.
