Means 65% because of covid. 65% of almost 20k = 13k. Still more than twice the amount with Delta a few months ago. Really hoped to see a reduction in Hospitalisations with Omicron not an increase.

Note, last sentence. The 'PM' is sticking with Plan B. Sounds a bit like some around the table might have their concerns.

Sajid Javid says there are some "encouraging signs" with the Omicron variant, stressing that it is less severe and that the government's latest analysis suggests that once you get boosted your chances of hospitalisation are "almost 90% less than it was with Delta".

But he warns that it is highly infectious with hospitalisations rising and "more and more parts of the NHS" declaring critical incidents. There is a need for health services to "work together" due to the "workforce pressures" hospitals are facing.

He adds the prime minister is "sticking with Plan B" and people must remain cautious.

As far as we know, it only happened in December. Trial phase then on successful completion they place a bank busting order. Watch this space. Tata are very early in their testing growth model. I'm sure they have a sound strategy though. They certainly have the brand and bank balance to grow quickly.

Well done Gas.

So let's reign in expectations. No involvement with Tata tests but very good chance that the machines they are championing are ours. Tata are big news so this is big news for us. May not be reflected in FY21 significantly so we may see the upside from Q1 and possibly in a FY22 outlook. Let's see.

Technicals have gone bearish for ncyt this week as we fell out of the rather weak short term upward trend from November. All eyes on the 317 support now. We are currently oversold so hopefully with a favourable headwind we can bounce and retest the 200ema at 375.

Market still has its head in the sand with regards to Covid so hopefully the anticipation of favourable results and a positive outlook will spur us on into the 5's. Otherwise, I see a big gap up coming. Just my 10 pence

Saliva test anyone

Another one of our biggest markets opting for the gold standard. I wonder what Germany's plan B was.

Germany is considering shortening self-isolation periods over fears that critical services could grind to a halt, according to health ministry plan. Workers in critical sectors, such as hospitals or electricity suppliers, would be able to end their isolation after five days, provided they get a negative PCR test, under the draft proposals.

Yes Trouble, and with each lie the larger the fallout. If this was 500 years ago. It would be a 'sharp drop and a sudden stop' for our Borris.

Today's farcical announcement is a direct result of BJ only going as far as plan B pre Christmas and still today. He had multiple opportunities to go further to prevent or least stem the tide of the Omicron onslaught. He chose not to. He also failed to see what the effects of 200k cases per day would have on the hospitals and the economy. He didn't ensure adequate supply of tests.

One mistake leads to him having to make another decision that ultimately leads him to make another mistake.

I don't know if it's BJ or his advisors but who ever is responsible for this slack operation needs to go and quick. This isn't hindsight speaking. Most of us new what was coming in November.

They'll turn the border defences back on once the next variant has dug in its heels. I think BJ needs to start playing some strategy games, he might learn something.

So at the current rate of approval it's going to be 2025 by the time the temporary approval list gets cleared. Whoops, they only have 8 weeks. When it comes to making mistakes BJ jumps in with both feet. When it comes to doing the right thing he seems to dilly dally. Do you think he's doing it on purpose?

Always enthusiastic about ncyt's potential. Concrete fundamentals in my eyes. Monitoring the charts is just a hobby and nothing wrong with have a little trade here and there. It helps with my long term holding knowing if I have made a little short term gain. My targets are 20-30% but starting to base them more and more on resistance/support lines. Not been able to close any of my trades for month. £4.50 and I'll be getting close.

Agreed Bakky, I said earlier its temp. You give the market an inch and it will take a mile. So naive. It's full of swing traders.

80% effective (what about the 1 in every 5 that slips through, also these are the Chinese ones yes)
High viral loads (not bothered about medium or low then)
MOST infectious and MOST likely to transmit the virus to others (so people who can still infect others allowed to mingle)
fewer than three false positive (couldn't give 2 hoots about false positives, they'll live. More concerned about the chap next to me who has a false negative)

Clearly, we are selling all the PCR's we can make and as a result the UK gov have come up short. Frantically phoning round trying to get some. All sold out. Only option left was to reduce demand. In doing that, you aide the spread which piles more pressure on NHS. In the next breath you're telling the nation "we can get through this with Plan B and the infamous Covid pass", which by the way allows positive vaccinated people to mingle with negative vaccinated and unvaccinated people thereby also aiding the spread of Omicron.

Omicron doesn't need help spreading but everything BJ seems to do, helps the spread. Stealth herd immunity project. Nothing stealth about it.

From BBC News - so many things wrong with below statement.

People in England with a positive lateral flow test but no Covid symptoms will no longer have to take a PCR to confirm the result from 11 January, the UK Health Security Agency says.

It says the change has been made to reflect that lateral flow tests are more than 80% effective at finding people with high viral loads, who are most infectious and most likely to transmit the virus to others, the UKHSA says.

Analysis by NHS Test and Trace shows lateral flow device (LFD) tests to have an estimated specificity of at least 99.97% when used in the community.

This means for every 10,000 lateral flow tests carried out, there are likely to be fewer than three false positive results. LFD tests identify the most infectious people.

These people tend to spread the virus to many people and so identifying them remains important.

No worries Blue.

Wondered how long it would take you Woody. Let's keep it clean this time. My debate with you has always been about fundamentals so gloating about the SP which is completely disconnected is irrelevant. Underlying business still churning away supporting the economy to stay open, oh and trying to help us out of this pandemic, oh and saving lives. SP is just a reflection of what the market wants to happen, not what is happening.

This room had technicals wrote on the door. You didn't even have to open it. Just keep walking to the next room.

Fundamentals win out in the end. The world wants rid of covid so any sniff of something that may only even give a very small positive is jumped on with huge optimism. Intrinsic value has changed today. Imo about a month ago out intrinsic value shot up off the back of the Omicron and the service we offer to protect society and help support a route out of this pandemic. Today is just a response from a naive market full of traders and investors who have lost their patience. 3 weeks to update and hopefully an inclusion of some forward guidance. Then we'll see where we are. Silly selling at these prices imo.

Still holding. It's not 320 exact. Nothing exact about charts but they can give you ball park figures. My support line is drawn at 317.92 but there will be a tolerance either side.

320 looks a strong support. Disappointed to be testing it again but that's the uncertainty of covid and the negative sentiment towards it. Fundamentally, still selling millions of £ each week. We weren't even selling much into pillar 2 so won't affect our sales too much and it's only temporary. Let's see how 320 holds up.
