Yep Saint, pro personal choice. Unfortunately, the vaccine didn't get the desired response that the government wanted so they had to sell it to the masses. To do this they offered all sorts of benefits around, no longer having to test, no longer having to isolate, if you want to live your life get jabbed. Completely the wrong way to persuade the masses and why 12 months after the first dose went in we are still here despite 80%+ being jabbed. Most of the UK hung on every word that the government said. This is the same government that has made mess after mess during this entire pandemic. Closing our borders late, pumping billions into lottery style Chinese LFT's, doing away with border control testing. The list goes on yet. The government point the finger at the unvaxxed to redirect the fact that it is the government that haven't a clue how to deal with this pandemic. Role on the next election.

So those here that have more explorer/mining experience than me. If we proved Han**** up to 50mt what would a good JV or sale deal look like?

Until we have a vaccine that is proven beyond all doubt to significantly reduce the spread of this virus to levels that will ultimately lead to its demise there is nothing selfish about not taking a vaccine. Vaxxers and anti vaxxers imo are cut from the same cloth. Both want to take our freedom of choice from us by making us feel bad for not falling in their line. This vaccine protects the person taking it. If you have had it and your that convinced that you can't catch it or pass it on then a) you're deluded which is a worry for society but b) why worry about the person next to you. If you are sensible and still worried despite being vaxxed then wear a decent mask, that will reduce transmission upto 95%, sanitise. Don't just rely on the fact that the person in front of you is jabbed. It means nada, they can just as likely give it to you as anyone else. Protect yourself.

There are 2 restaurants, both deal in similar foods and both very high quality. You want to take your family out for a Christmas meal. One has a policy of vaccine or negative test, the other a policy of negative test only. Which is your preference?

I know where I stand. Why would I want to eat in a full restaurant when there are potentially dozens of people who haven't been tested that could have asymptomatic covid, well given that some people just don't give a toss some may be symptomatic. It's pretty easy to hide a cough for a few seconds until you get through the door. I think I'll go to the negative test restaurant regardless of Vax status. At least I know my family is safer.

Building a robust testing infrastructure is the key to living with this virus and even one day eliminating it. The vaccine we currently have is another tool but on its own it won't stop the spread (proven). Test, test, test. This method of vaccine or negative test is imo bullst and one of the very reasons why this merry go round will just keep going round.

It's the governments message that has disillusioned people to believe that if they are jabbed they can carry on about their lives as normal. Hence the 'if you're jabbed you don't need to have a test' 'if you're jabbed you don't need to isolate if you have come into contact with a positive' or 'if you're jabbed you don't need to have a test on your way back from anywhere in the world', and we wonder why we still have 40k cases per day. By the way, if it's 40k cases per day it's probably a few hundred thousand actually.

In summary, testing, masks and social distancing reduces transmission, not vaccines on their own. The current vaccine may help save your life, no one else's. The decision of whether to take it should be yours and yours alone.

Am I right in saying sequencing takes about 2 weeks. Does this mean that the European wave could be driven by a new variant?

I believe that the ncyt SNPsig test can detect and specify a known variant in as little as 2 hours. So by method of elimination we could tell Europe if it is something new in under 2 hours, just wouldn't know exactly how new and what makes it new. I think I may have just answered my own question but any feedback welcome.

Agreed Parkez, each to their own. If everyone was vaccinated the virus would still be here jumping from person to person at a rate of knots, people would still fall seriously ill and some will still die. The vaccine protects the person who has the vaccine, not the person next to them. The death rate in my age group is something like 0.00001% and changes very little whether vaxxed or not, so let me decide what I want to do. Not a group of experts who can't even agree amongst themselves.

Austria are on a very slippery slope imo. My hope is that the UK allow enough time to see how the experiment develops in Austria before making any hasty decisions.

I do have another scenario I require some feedback on. I was hosting a party the other night and we had reached capacity except for 1. The rules were you could only enter if you had the vaccine or a negative test. The door bell rang and there were 2 people stood there. The first said "can I come in, I've not had a jab but I have taken a ncyt PCR about 80 mins ago and the result was negative,". The other said "I'm (coughs) triple jabbed (coughs)". I am trying to manage the risk of covid coming into the party as my elderly parents are there (both trippled jabbed). What should I do?

With you there B2, but why stop at covid vaccines. Let's send anyone with self inflicted issues to private health care. So we are talking about, smokers, drinkers, obesity, people who chose not to exercise, people who choose not to wear seatbelts, anyone who does anything slightly risky and ends up in hospital should also go to private healthcare. Why should they take the bed of someone who through no fault of their own needs a hospital bed.

On that same matter, it doesn't matter how much or how little you contribute to the NI pot, the NHS should only be their for the people who 100% need it through absolutely no fault of their own.

We also shouldn't let people have freedom of choice. If someone is genuinely concerned about taking a vaccine or a medicine or anything really and a lot of experts have said it's fine then we should force everyone to take it. Simple. If we find out later that said vaccine or medicine causes other long term issues then so be it but we have to do what is best for the minority. Does that just about sum it up B2.

Oh I do have one grey area though. If there is one bed left and 2 people needing it. One is a vaxxed murderer and one is an unvaxxed Christian, who do we turn away. I'm thinking the Christian as being unvaxxed is the lowest of the low isn't it. Am I right.

Yes Trouble, I am hoping a significant part of the strategy is more about sustaining our covid position and growing our non covid position. Let's see

We don't know how close we are to a credible plan. I would certainly expect to be 5 weeks closer to one than when DA joined. Like I say, I am predicting a strategy update inside the next 2 weeks.

My worry is that the current wave of covid and the imminent winter will keep the focus on covid for another 5 months at least. Still, from these SP levels I expect to see a gradual rise until Jan/Feb. Favourable dispute resolution and I expect a significant bump up.

B2, yes. I guess it depends on your definition of running wild. A swamped NHS may just equate to covid running wild for some.

It's tiring being conflicted with ncyt. On one hand you want sentiment to come back but for that to happen covid needs to run wild and on the other hand I want covid to disappear. This is why I want ncyt to move on from Covid. It's coming and I will be over the moon when we get our first non covid related RNS.

Here, here PeterBuc. Keeping positive is an excellent method to help get through the dark days with this share. I've never lost hope. Evidently, I have not been great at reading the sentiment around Ncyt and covid otherwise I would have sold back in November or January. Instead I was buying because like most here I believe I have a good business brain.

Ncyt is a great business with bags of potential which has endured a year of negative sentiment. Unfortunately the company themselves have done very little to help turn the tide. However, I am confident that the tide is starting to turn. Ncyt are still heavily linked to covid so as this next wave washes through Europe the sentiment should continue to rise. Don't be surprised if a new vaccine evading variant pops up somewhere and starts to create further mayhem. I sincerely hope it does not as I would like nothing more than to get back to some kind of normal again.

Ncyt doesn't need covid to hang around anyone. We have built our cash, we have built our global distribution channels, we have built our products, we have our R&D and Bioinformatics teams. We have everything we need to start the transition to non-covid. We are already starting to see whispers of the transition sneak out from ncyt and it will gain traction very soon imo. Patience is required and one thing is for sure, it won't be boring.

Just to clear up the original post from Covid. The reason I have dropped off my posts on here recently is because I am a numbers guy and it has been oh so long since we had any numbers from ncyt. The rest has been discussed to death. I still frequent this board daily as there are some really great researchers here that find great information but in terms of discussing them, I leave that to the more scientific minded people. I predicted DA would need 6-7 weeks to produce a 2022 budget and strategy. Only a couple of weeks to go.

Poidster, I strongly suspect that Nova won't ever be £1. Unless of course they do a share split. Once we move away from covid, resolve the dispute and start showing the market a little if what is going on behind those doors then I can't see anything being able to hold us back. Time will tell as always. GLALTH

I suppose I should be honoured to be mentioned on the same list as some fairly high profile celebs on this BB. Thanks

I'm just glad we have our borders well guarded with top quality PCR testing. Keep the door closed on this dreadful virus. Oh wait!

I have several. £4, £5, £6, £7, £10, £15, £20, keep some back for £54

More like confusedopportunist if you still think I am Porky. Are you naturally a slow learner covid?

Yesterday's RNS was very reassuring but we need to follow it up real soon with evidence of actual orders. If we can get back to the $1m orders per month then this will bag multiple times.

Let's not forget.

Iron is flagship
Silver is sideshow
Precious Metals backseat.

I predict that we have our current mcap more than covered in the Precious Metals alone. Just the Auzzie ones as well.

As soon as those Olympics are done, I expect the smog in China to return.

Wents, more than happy if the market wants to wait until the ore is at the docks. Doesn't mean I have to. UFO is significantly derisked from 12 months ago and when the market wakes up hopefully I'll be fully loaded and waiting.

The last placing covers our operational needs for 6-12 months so if we motor along with the likes of Han**** extension and getting geared for mining, Brockman initial drilling, EH and Munni Munni drilling, and Mexico drilling then yes I can certainly see the $6m or so cash not lasting that long really. So much going off here all at once. I would be very pleased if we concentrated on Han**** and EH/Munni Munni until we had a revenue stream from the iron. If Bill chooses to go with the 'cooking on all four cylinders' approach then by March we could be hearing whispers about another placing. By then we should be placing at around 1.5p minimum. Imo
