Cave is just tipping his cap to some other academics at Gyro also riding the investor gravy train to fund their lifestyle companies. We paid for it, we own their IP wtf would we just write it off when we are sat on such losses ourselves. Find a buyer for the IP or downsize them to a shoestring and knock out the boxes for ships till it breaks even.

Are Cloudveil running the security for this?
They must be pretty fed up of sitting on their backsides by now.

@Jezabel Do you pay 7 lots of tax? :)

Also AlipayHK, Octopus, Tap & Go but we don't care about them :)

Everyone in Hong Kong to get HK$5,000 to spend of fish maw and fragrances* via WeChat Pay HK :)

* and maybe other things too.

"The scheme, a key policy from Chan’s budget speech in February, will offer every adult Hong Kong resident HK$5,000 in local spending vouchers, benefiting 7.2 million people.
It will cost the government an estimated HK$36 billion, of which HK$600 million covers administrative expenses."

I would guess that they know they will need to sell at a discount to get big orders (eg the NHS) over the line, but having sold them in the market for a higher price improves their bargaining position when negotiating what that % discount should be.

Is that objection is based on the VIRKON™ S trademark and if alpha-virion is sufficiently similar to be mistaken for that product?

As reported here:
http://dictionary.sensagent.com/Virkon/en-en/

"Virkon is a multi-purpose disinfectant. It contains oxone (potassium peroxymonosulphate), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sulphamic acid; and inorganic buffers."

"Virkon has a wide spectrum of activity against viruses, some fungi, and bacteria.[2] However, it is less effective against spores and fungi than some alternative disinfectants.[3]"

"Virkon has a faint raspberry odour, but the scent is still considered unpleasant by some"

I can understand why they would not want the competition! Some people have said that our masks smell nice like popcorn :)

Although the 2 could be used in competing products I personally don't see how anybody with half a brain could mistake one for the other.

Alpha virion starts with 'alpha' not a'V' so it's a completely different letter.
Also 'virion' actually has a meaning as quoted in the dictionary:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virion
"Definition of virion
: a complete virus particle that consists of an RNA or DNA core with a protein coat sometimes with external envelopes and that is the extracellular infectious form of a virus"

I can't find any reference to the letters 'VIRKON' being a word with meaning other than the name of their product.

Obviously people know what a 'virion' is because it's in the dictionary and noone thinks its a 'virkon' because that's just a made up word.

If people were getting mixed up between the 2 then presumably there would be a slew of mistakes in the scientific literature where the wrong word had been substituted incorrectly?

Personally I think we should have gone with 'nano-virion' anyway as it highlights our nano technology inside.

I work on the principle that the BOD check on here first to see what they should be developing then go do it :)

Guess 1: Anti-viral AC Filter
Guess 2: Anti-viral paint/coating
..or possibly medical gowns

The thing that gets me is that it would be so easy for the BOD to do something positive to get this turn around started but they are not appearing to do it. They need a competent business person running the show with a solid sales and marketing background.

Is the reason why they have not hired this person because they think it reflects badly on them? Do they think it shows that they have failed if they hire this person? I'm not sure what the reasons for their resistance come from.

Dr Cave is a scientist..He's probably a bl**dy good scientist it's not a reflection on him that he's not a business person. Stop thinking you should be doing everything yourselves and build a team with the right skill-set. It's not a reflection on you!

If they just came out and said they were strengthening the business side and putting out to hire someone I think investors could at least see some light at the end of the tunnel. IMHO This could be a really good business if they just got all their ducks in a row. The question is why aren't they doing it.

Great article GloucesterR. Thanks for posting.
One thing that I was wondering, if everyone is just going to rent out their Vanadium as electrolyte rather than sell it, the actual supply of Vanadium available to buy for steel could be quite limited, could that then spike the price?

I would guess(but I don't know for sure), that if you got splashed in the face with a load of covid puss the mask would not kill it all. The outer layer is hydrophobic to prevent fluids getting inside. I'd assume that the virus particles move through the mask when the user inhales, get caught by the filter in proximity to the copper nano which kills them. So probably in the event of direct splashes they should still be considered as contaminated.

You didn't read the update properly. Most of that is 1-off impairments and Gyro is being disposed of.
Hurry back or you will be late.

I worry about you Adey. I fear that you have wasted your lunch hour talking drivel on here and won't have been able to eat properly. It's unlikely that you will perform well at work if you are not well nourished. Maybe in future you should just use lunch breaks for eating lunch :)

We are up 5% today while you have been de-ramping :)

The p2f masks need to be replaces after 7 hours but the standarn non-viral ones need to be replaces after about 2 hours. So it takes about 3.5 regular masks to do the work of 1 p2f mask. This justifies the higher price and makes it operationally more convenient since 1 mask can often be worn for 1 shift without changes. The act of changing a mask is itself a risk point for infection as can result in inadvertently touching your face. Any evidence that secondary infections are insignificant I'd love to read it if you can post a link. Thanks.

It's better to have a mask that kills Covid rather than one that simply traps it for a number of reasons. The masks that trap the virus have a very limited usage time since they rely on the electrostatic charge on the melt blown filter layer. This is charged at the factory and loses it's charge as it gets wet due to moisture from the breath of the user. These masks concentrate the virus into the filter and then when they fail the lave virus can get through the filter. When they are disposed of then they still have live virus on them and can pose a risk of secondary infection.

That's how I understand it to be. Please correct me if I am wrong.

@mararab
You know 2 bit is defined as 25 Cents in the dictionary.
At current conversion rates that would be almost 18p per share.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves lol
