Whilst i agree ODX - RTC Test is a lateral flow (at home test) that brings massive advantage - especially with regards to mass testing to establish 1. Where the virus has been and 2. How immunity works
It seems to ignore the fact we do (or will be) indeed be producing lab tests - with the Mologic partnership
Add to that - the massive game changer that will be lateral flow (at home test) for Antigen that is being developed and the ODX will manufacture - see it now - quick testing to really control spread, random work testing, port of entry testing - but whats not really covered yet - port of exit - dont get on a plain, train, ship in the first place if you're infected
And if this is all as big as suggested and this virus is here for a while / to stay then capacity could be increased again and possibly be funded out of the growth in income without further dilution / placing - but don't really mind if there is as it brings in far more potential income than cost. Whats the real potential MC - GLA
