OK you got me there UnitedGuy. I know nothing about selling stuff to the NHS. Good job I'm not manning the stand then.

I do know the NHS want to explore possibilities of nano tech in their face masks though..Otherwise why are they paying for stuff like this?

https://www.abdn.ac.uk/news/14883/

Wouldn't that be a big waste of public money if they had no interest in a better face mask in the first place?

@unitedguy But didn't you tell us before the NHS don't want the masks because surgical masks are leaky and don't work?

Have a look at the nature article I posted last night. Randomized trials show that the surgical masks are 'highly protective'.

I think they will want what we got!

Soon be selling the masks at the NHS procurement event.
Happy days.

correction 'randomized'. It's all good though.
Where's our CEO statement? Incoming soon, I hope.

Clinical F'kin trial! Get in there!

"Face masks for COVID pass their largest test yet
A rigorous study finds that surgical masks are highly protective, but cloth masks fall short."

"The study results prompted Monica Gandhi, an infectious-disease physician at the University of California, San Francisco, to switch from cloth masks. “I bought surgical masks for myself.."

Smart lady!
I bet she'd by antiviral surgical masks if she knew about them.

"Critics of mask mandates have cited the lack of relevant randomized clinical trials, which assign participants at random to either a control group or an intervention group. But the latest finding is based on a randomized trial involving nearly 350,000 people across rural Bangladesh. The study’s authors found that surgical masks — but not cloth masks — reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in villages where the research team distributed face masks and promoted their use."

"“This really should be the end of the debate,” says Ashley Styczynski, an infectious-disease researcher at Stanford University in California and a co-author of the preprint describing the trial. "

"Masks will remain an especially crucial line of defence in Bangladesh and other low- and middle-income countries, where access to vaccines is limited to non-existent. “If this changes the discourse in the US, where masks are being unnecessarily politicized, then that’s a bonus,” says Mobarak."

"Indian state battered by COVID now on alert for Nipah virus"

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/indian-state-battered-covid-now-064032847.html

"Is it an airborne infection?
Experts say that Nipah Virus is not an airborne infection. Refer to Q 2(How does it spread?).
However, infection can spread through droplets and objects contaminated by secretions
(urine, saliva etc.) of infected animals or humans."

"Human to Human infection can occur from close contact with persons affected with
Nipah at home while providing care or close contact and in hospital setting if
appropriate personal protective equipment are not used."

FFS is there no end to this!
I hope our mask can help.

To the moon 27 times! lol

@Harris_Tottel Do you all share the same wife?

Also not sure if everyone noticed but that post was liked by The official twitter account of the British High Commission, Maldives!

Friends in high places and doors begin to open. :)

VK has been busy meeting the Minister of Tourism for the Maldives, no less.
Sporting his antiviral Pro_larva mask, you can bet it came up in conversation.
Is that a pile of freebie masks on the table in the 3rd pic? :)

I'm encouraged that he hasn't just rushed something out. He clearly wants to take his time to understand the company first before making a statement.

If I was him I'd leave it till Monday and spend the weekend on it too. :)

Is the subtle clue to prancers existence in United's post of 19:03?
"deerrrr what a numptty"

Then prancerdancer appears with the names of 2 deer (that spend most of their time sniffing Rudolff's butt??

Not tonight deer!

Looking forward to hearing from the new CEO.

I've not been this excited about nanotech since they shrank Raquel Welch! :)

Off the back of today's fantastic RNS I decided to do some research into demand for honey products in China. I typed in Chinese lovehoney into Google..Well! Not sure what went wrong, but I've not seen so many C*cks since I last logged in over on ADVFN :)

I don't know Dr M; Imagine you were having a posh dinner party for your high roller mates and you left the butler to service the guests till you arrived. By the time you got there they would have been subjected to so much negativity they would just want to go home again. You just can't get good staff these days :)

VK for CEO! :)

The SP has been over 7p before, and as the company put in their RNS:

"I am confident that the Group is in a far better place that it was at the start of this year."

I still think there is a chance we are supplying the anti-viral material for the Geordie mask. It's just too close to the wording that we use. It 'kills' the virus and has a hypoallergenic layer. It's suspiciously similar. It's also just down the road from the Ore Catapult so we could have lots of contacts in the area.
50/50 odds in my book.

Anyway hope they can release news either way soon as their mask is due to have completed it's testing and certification now.

https://www.qegateshead.nhs.uk/ppe-masks

""Our FFP3 mask has four layers, one of which is an anti-viral layer, which has been proven to kill covid on contact and is also non-allergenic. On completion the masks are individually packed and are UV-sterilised."

These masks are currently going through testing by the British Standards Laboratory and will be certified by the end of August."

They should consider renting the electrolyte for battery use and then recovering the Vanadium when it is spent. That way there is no need to trash the Vanadium price and can still sell for steel at higher levels. This could lower the TCO for battery use too since they never need to own the Vanadium used. IMHO
