Major events/cruise ships etc24 Sep 2020 18:03
The need to scan the chip in a box at a venue took the market by surprise and this is what triggered the drop in my view. However, whilst the solution might not be as ideal as getting the result directly via the inhaler, the potential for opening up economies is huge. Just think of a big sporting event as an example. Thousands want to go, get there tests done locally at any number of convenient venues and then, armed with the all clear on their phones, simply scan the Q code on the turnstile etc at the major event and they are in. Once people figure out the potential the SP will bounce back and strongly in my opinion. This will overtake current test/trace solutions and quite possibly reduce the need for masks, social distancing etc in venues, and make cruises, large spectator sports, concerts and all sorts viable again. I was initially surprised and disappointed by the scanner dimension but the more I think about it the more I think they are nonetheless onto a serious winner here.
