A very educated statement Andy. A lot of the uneducated peeps would have you believe that once Omicron subsides then this Covid pandemic becomes just a bad memory.
Firstly, it won't subside overnight, so we have several months of intense testing to work through. The absolute best case pandemic wise is that testing demand will then slowly drop off over the course of several months. All this means significant testing will be around for a couple more years minimum.
Secondly, once governments do get some time to breath they will start working on the 'early pandemic warning system'. This will be a global system. What it will look like no one knows but rest assured the WHO will be involved, UN will be involved, UK will be heavily involved. Ncyt are rubbing shoulders with all of these.
Lastly, covid has allowed us to build an excellent foundation into the diagnostic industry. This can and will be used when the time comes to switch into Sepsis, cancer, C diff, HIV, DNA and whatever else is of interest to us.
£100m+ cash to help make it happen.
Those that keep coming on here dropping what they think is a grenade by saying Covid is over, deaths reducing ect, just haven't got a clue what ncyt is about. A little cringe to be honest.
