Probably a tracking signal, something cooking in the SA bush!

Lets see what they have to say:

Mass testing and a 'student travel window' to get them home for Christmas

1509, still here :) showing red, small stuff going through.

RegulatorUK, nice update.

MHRA is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care for the regulation of medical devices - Who funds the Department of Health and Social Care ?

Been up an hour or so ' We’re rolling out lateral flow #coronavirus tests to local officials across the country, combining the local knowledge of public health leaders with our extensive national infrastructure'

I can't say the new will be released here - but there is plenty of updates including the 'More rapid COVID-19 tests to be rolled out across England' release.

Might be worth keeping an eye on this, not sure if there is another platfrom apart from the Parliament site.

Croz2492, I can't tell you when masks will become less needed, but I can say IMO the vaccine is not going to be the answer by next summer. The math of 7 + billion, plus as the news now starts to come out from the Pfizer story, all is not what it seems.

This is from Carl “Fast,Sensitive Covid-19 Test” Smythe Twitter feed on Pfizer....if anyone should have an angle on this, he is one:

This is really welcome news.

However, if you think this will take the place of regular, routine testing for this, and other emergent viral infections with pandemic potential .......................................

you’re mistaken.

What ever the real answer is, something stinks with LSE. Its not rocket science to run server/s - they are either upgrading their dedicated servers and tranfering over boards onto multi-server environment to support more connections and services, helps to keep the system running, and can also cost significantly less each month than continually adding resources to a single server - Or they can't pay their bandwidth charges/or they just kill off the server - Or its all bloody rigged.

Afternoon, had look through the boards and could not find any discussions on this. Been doing a bit of reading up on the advantages of using graphene, China leading the way by what I have come across.

All positive news for the railway infrastructure and delivery services to ports and further afield.

I made a comment and did a retweet to my 300 million followers :)

Almagest, it really depends on how unique the product is/who/if you have competition and production costs/internal costs - once you know your botton line you can then add on your % mark up. They could create a higher end price, let the cheaper end of the market fight it out for the pennies and supply higher end clients, ' Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is a reality' or let the licensees deal with the mass volume.

I don't know anyone who works on 10%/15%, especially if you are exporting and have to deal with currency rate fluctuations. They could also run different price lists, price list 1 is X price, price list 2 is X price etc (volume related/payments up front related to what your price is) Either way, for us its about the balance sheet when all is said and done.

magmanus_49m love your enthusiasm. We are in a numbers game, we need households in the UK/we need licences handed out to pull in roylaties....we need them P2F BoD to be battering down doors. We are in a perfect storm, they got one of the products that is needed worldwide...lets hope they are working over the weekend.

ErFreh - I am not sure I agree with the Gov will not buy masks for everyone. To me, along with testing (Moonshot) sending out masks to all householders as part of the strategy to 'try' and control CV19 sounds a good idea to me.

I think its clear (I am in ODX) that the UK RTC is gearing up - https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2020/W45/738328646

You can see Ciga have are part of these contracts when you scroll down the lik, which pulls in home testing the nation more and more likely. If I was P2F I would be hammering down the doors of UK Gov with a proposal, get a contract out of UK Gov to send house holds masks on a monthly basis over a period of 12 months/then they can go to the bank to raise the capital for the machines or outsource. This is not rocket science and for all of us invested, this is the road we want to go down.

15/20 billion they are throwing at this, we just need a slice of that pie.......maybe the pie in the sky is miles to high!

Frannie - They use this - https://schema.org - Then they use WP - https://woocommerce.com for data/check out etc. WP is used my a lot of companies, bloggers love it as most developers create plug ins for WP so easy to move the site forward with little costs. Plus its cheap compare to Magenta (https://magento.com/)

They have used a .org extension which is good, far more likley to get picked up media/press etc..here is some info on .org - https://rshweb.com/blog-org-domain-name

The last thing is, there SEO is not great, content is poor etc if they want to be found for their keywords. That tells me they have zero interest in ranking the site and going after B2C customers. Its very low key. The only thing I would do is add a tab for wholesale/distrubtors/Europe/World. For example if someone in S.A. types in 'Covid wholesale masks' they will rank and get those enquiries...that is trick they have missed.

On the credit card/PP payments - Its probably two fold.

1) Cards have costs, anything from 1.5 to 3.5%, so depending on margins these charges eat into profit margins. But as volume comes through you can re-negotiate better rates. Amex is even higher.

2) Do they want to deal with the end user? I presume they want to sell to distrubutors/wholesalers etc who will sell onto smaller SME's - Good oppportuntity for someone to be first in the market on the retail side for B2C, through some money at PPC on Google/FB etc, sunday papers and you would do well.

js1990, cheers mate, you did say you would come back. Any chance of digging a tunnel over the weekend from your lookout position, quick look around for those pallets would sure be a nice thing :)
