RE: Covid-19 infections UK signs of increase11 Jun 2022 00:07
Many reasons. Ncyt are moving on but not wholly out. Because Omicron has created many variations already, there is still a need for govt. approve precise diagnoses.
Now is easy. Summer. But actually covid is rife. It is worse than ever to date, just untested!! Truth. Many ..yes many people I know have it right now, including my wife ( I’m waiting!). The winter will likely be another NHS mega-pressure especially with expected new variant Boosters are essential but the govt. is on a savings drive!! In addition the last booster had pronounced side-effects on some people( I had Pfizer and it gave me a permanent left ventricle problem). I am not a conspi******. So even if Ncyt are sidelining into instrumentation and a full spectrum of disease diagnosis, their income from covid may be much smaller but covid cannot be predicted. Ncytvis right to diversify, especially with an untrustworthy govt. bending rules and right to look internationally. But its covid assays ( incl. LFT!) are not dead yet. In the longer term, covid will play an increasingly smaller part in Ncyt . Global diagnostics are the way forward. But covid is still alive and kicking and Ncyt are licensed testers. Wait for this winter….again!!! :-(
