@Wadogara: No, because unlike some if i have a query i ask the company

Response from walbrook on the 16/6 when queried regarding the different figures

“Omega have c. 250 staff across the group. It would seem that the LinkedIn posting contained an error and is being corrected”

Make of that what you will, i was a little surprised that the HR department who posted Job applications didnt know how many people they were employing

@BigDano: if you look at the accompanying memo, you have your update

Almost 100k tests ordered to date

@Wadogara: Indeed it will, i hope you are correct, but i fear Colin has lost us 6 months already

@Wadogara: To quote our great leader

“As the global market for Antigen testing develops the Company believes self-test approval will be a key product differentiator, as has already been seen in the UK”

Nothing is coming without home use approval,

@Wadogara: "potential earnings from the other half of our capacity..1 million units per week"

Is that the capacity we are only just engaging the regulator for in June, after being sat with their heads up their arses for six months waiting for the DHSC to come riding over the horizon with the sovereign test.

@Wessley: "I don't think anyone actually knows how much has actually been paid to Innova"

DHSC have confirmed at least these payments to date

November 2020 = £286,200,000.00
December 2020 = £286,200,000.00
January 2021 = £253,607,016.84
February 2021 = £457,483,720.00
March 2021 = £726,266,213.80
April 2021 = -£181,800,000.00

@Wessley: Anyone reading that document, and knowing how the government has treated ODX, AVACTA, ABX, NCYT over the last 12 months would be thinking, what a utter bunch of rubbish

I especially like the…

“It would be a criminal offence for manufacturers, vendors or distributors to sell unvalidated tests.”

The missed off the part , and we can stonewall the validation if we want, or the rules dont apply to government

@Greg: Lord “Bugger-up” bethnell support for the UK diagnostics industry has had the result of destroying it, There is no way they are throwing away the remaining 500m innova tests, after spending £4b (When you consider the brand new state of the art regional hospital near me cost only £250M to build) do you think Han**** would survive if he had to put his hands up to ****ing the equivalent of 16 brand new hospitals up against the wall? They will do anything to prevent that happening and it looks like the MHRA arent as independent as we are led to believe, the only chance we had of any meaningful numbers coming from our DHSC contract was the FDA news, but it looks like the government have ridden out that issue, not one of the journalistic heros that get access to ministers even raised it,

So the Uk government have introduced 2m lft capacity into the UK whilst removing all of the UK market (by buying them from china and giving them away free) ,

We hear about the government facilitating ODX talks for manufacturing with third parties that need the demand, a question has to be raised with that, by other manufacturers such as ABDX, BBI etc around state aid and unfair competition, if that demand is not for the Uk government, but we wait to hear details from Colin when he has finished his endless chit chat

Basically its a **** show of government creation, but we are deep in it up-to our necks

@Wessley: “but no one got my intel on this stock thats for sure.”

Feel free to share, i’m sure we all are wondering what we have missed?

@Wessley: As i said before your rampant postings on here are dangerous

£3-£5 based on what?

We have heard rubbish from you since you rocked up a couple of weeks back,

"Speak to the UK-RTC, I have and you will be pleasantly surprised" - Rubbish
"Innova surely wont get paid" - Rubbish
"Good to be in bed with the government as they have deep pockets" - Rubbish, ask ABDX, AVCT and NCYT

Follow me to the promised land!, I know what I'm doing!, i'm the expert! - Rubbish

"Its just NOISE", Too right, You are am empty barrel,

@GaryB72 : But realistically Colin and the BoD are paid to protect the company from such events, The big failing has been not to start the regulator engagement for the Mologic/Visitect test in December when Mologic had the CE mark and had all the professional use technical data they needed to start the process. These are the managements two biggest failings to date, we are six months behind where we could have been, have been selling Visitect Antigen for home use, and could tell BoJo to do one. But instead we are in this ****e !

The governments big plans for the uk diagnostics industry looks like it will see it brought to its knees, Thanks a lot Lord "Bugger-Up" Bethnell.

UK fishing industry - Screwed
UK Farming Industry - Screwed
NI Imports - Screwed
UK Diagnostics Industry - Screwed

But as long as Bojo has someone to pay for his gold wallpaper, and Hanjob gets a few free pints in his mates pub, thats all that counts.

@Wessley: if we are being pedantic, the Uk DHSC are the first “Manufacturer” with self test approval via their EUA

@upomega: This is a government that can deny a contract ever existed, when they previously issued one and its available to see in black and white, and simply not pay the bill, case in point the Abingdon contract in October 2020. They have made it clear they don't give a ****e what anyone thinks

“As of yet, no UK test has passed 3a for home use“

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/assessment-and-procurement-of-coronavirus-covid-19-tests/outcome-of-the-evaluation-of-rapid-diagnostic-assays-for-specific-sars-cov-2-antigens-lateral-flow-devices

Surescreen have passed all the validation that Innova and Orient Gene have achieved

Its not Optigene its Orient Gene another chinese produced test

And they are being released for school use because the government think the double nasal swab is more pleasant to use than the Innova throat stabbers

Multiple councils have already issued guidance on the difference, for example

http://www.westhoughton-high.org/schooldata/pages/Main_Menu/PDFs/Covid/Orient%20Gene%20Lateral%20Flow%20Device%20Letter.pdf

“ODX are going for self test approval in the UK”

In a market place where the government is giving them away for nothing?

@wessley: What was actually said was “ability to supply tests produced within the UK remains a key priority for the DHSC“

It may look to by semantics, but in reality if you look at the DHSC/ODX contract is the difference between the pre-production phase we have completed already, and the full contract enactment to supply tests
