why are we not on this list, which was updated yesterday, with the world’s best test, the only issue we will have is manufacturing capacity?

Morning, I agree with a lot of what you have put here, however I am slightly more relaxed about the Medusa Marketing.
They only have rights for consumer sales, other companies are looking after business sales.
Once, if, will they ever, get HUA, it’s a straight greenlight for Medusa to leverage their relationship with BooHoo and have an exclusive promotional card for Affidx in every parcel sent out from BooHoo. They will probably also use their army of influencers to get behind this test. Instant massive reach with a core target market.
Branding of the test will be key for building and maintain market share with this audience.

No wonder this meeting is being held online - he doesn’t even have the backbone to look us in the eyes.

The first question should be why is this meeting not in person? We are supposed to have, according to the CEO the best test in the world, so why are they not using it to facilitate a very long overdue face to face meeting?
If their PR company want to do some work, they could had invited the national press along to the event to show how LFT can be used to open economy.

This was the reply.

As you can imagine we are merely following government advice and have to use the tests provided.
However, as my eldest contracted Covid and his Innova test lit up like a Christmas tree they do seem to work, We are very happy for you to self test at home on the Sunday and let us know the results Many thanks

For clarity, its a fee paying school, the email was from the deputy head, somone I know and the family outside of school due to a share interest in a sport - so the much more relaxed / less formal style is in keeping with my relationship with the DH.

I would correct my terrible spelling first!

Just been emailed by my chidlrens school regarding comng in and performing a LTF before the start of term. This was my reply.

Morning

I am very happy for my children to perform LTF test, what I am unhappy about is the continue use of the Innova LTF test, which is repackaged as the NHS test.

The NHS try to make out that they are manufacturing the products on their box, but if you look at the instructions you will see that they are manufactured by Xiamen Biotime in China. The Innova test does not work and the American FDA issued a Class 1 product recall, you can read the review here.

When these test are used in the “real world” they are no more than 40% accurate.

I want to keep my children and the school safe, very soon the government will announce that free testing will come to an end and it will be up to the individual / organisation to provide tests at their own expense.

I have already brought a supply of a much more superior test with 98% sensitivity at a much lower viral load than the Innova test and 99% specificity, which only requires my children to swab the inside of their nose, rather than their mouths and the back of their nose. The test is UK manufactured and CE marked, the test is called Affidex and is made by Avacta.

I can ether bring in two of these tests for the children to perform at school on the Sunday, or we can perform the tests at home on Sunday and share the results with the school.

well worth a read Information,

We are both on the same page.

I got this,

I sincerely apologise for the delay in response, I have been away from my desk this afternoon and have only just had sight of your E Mail.

I am very sorry but there was an unexpected delay to the receipt of these tests and it is with regret that your order could not be shipped today.

I am sorry but I do not have your contact details to call you to discuss possible options to support your testing tomorrow, ie, if a same day shipment would be possible.

Please could you advise your telephone number by return and I will call you first thing in the morning to discuss further, please let me know your availability.

Many thanks

How ironic would it be if we ended up selling our test to the Chinese?

Mine is coming via DHL - as yet heard nothing

I have had no comunciaiton from them to say that my order is delayed, I am expecting to have my order tomorrow as it should be shipped today with overnight delivery as its costing £20 for P+P. I will confirm tomorrow when they arrive.

Hi Rebecca, I made my order a couple of weeks ago and thought the same about the P&P

My order number was just north of 3,500 out of interest are you able to share ballpark what your oder was? Dont want the exact number so they can trace back to you just ballpark. Thanks

Just looked at my order number and it was slightly north of 3500. I order two boxes, as a test for my workforce, so if every order did the same amount that would be £1.2m is sales which will not be fulfilled on time and have now been offered an alternative test. If Mr Smith ever found himself in a place that made beer, would he have enough in him to organise a good party, I am really starting to doubt him now.

I did and this was the reply

Our delivery of stock has been delayed by Avacta, unfortunately.

If you need tests for your staff we can supply a suitable alternative antigen test. Please let me know if you would prefer an alternative or to wait for AffiDX?

Best wishes,
Paul

Hello,
I made my order as soon as I could with Bioserv and were sent a proforma invoice which was paid last week. The sales order had a shipping date of 16th July, with next day delivery by FED EX.
So, is it a case of no stock due to large order or no stock because production is nonexistence? I'm more inclined to think it’s the second possibility.

What do you make of this?
We write to inform you that the dispatch date for your AffiDX order is delayed until with week commencing 2nd August.
A three-week delay on my confirmed and paid for order. Are they incapable of doing anything correctly?
