There is no statistically significant difference between any of the figures. The 95% confidence intervals are broad for all of them and can only be refined by testing many thousands of samples. The other factor that needs to be considered is the prevalence of true positives in the target test population which allows a calculation of positive and negative predictive values.

Should we all pop over to the ODX board and fill you in what a useful test's performance characteristics look like ? (We wont bother discussing the immunotherapy side of the business).
90.6% sensitivity with median Ct of 20.3 isn't going to cut it.

Yep, its pretty poor really. Overall performance is 90.6% sensitivity with a median Ct of 20.3.

A familiar pattern has formed this week-end. Several posts of half-truths and misleading cr@p. It’s always followed by very significant rises in SP.
Sorry Nutsack but you really are on a losing streak trying to deramp this stock in May.

(It had to be done)

Final results are a non-event and already priced in. A high level of transparency and ongoing monthly updates mean the numbers were already known.

CE marking is a formality not a pass/fail application. They would be crazy to manufacture batches without it printed on.

I think you'll find it's named after the 49ers of the Californian Gold Rush. The miners were nicknamed Argonauts, although they were of course given that nickname after the original Grecian Argonauts.

What is confusing you ? They currently use mainly hydro and are expanding in Texas which will be solar powered. The aim is to use renewable sources for their power needs.

I think the acreage is for solar farms.

Why the ridiculous message header ? Enough of replies with this nonsense banner.

What is it with this message header ?

Right now in Britain things are quiet. The general public think it’s pretty much over but it isn’t and stakeholders and policy makers know it.

Yes, but the only way to buy time for the identification of the dominant strain, production of and roll out of the right booster is to either (a) lockdown or (b) test and trace from a low baseline of cases.
Testing is here to stay - as is the virus. India is sadly what happens if you think it’s over. They may hit millions of deaths.

You couldn’t be more wrong.
Very likely we’ll go from endemic to pandemic again in October if not before. Whilst there is virus circulating world-wide, variants will continue to emerge. Partial vaccination (which is where the world is now) will specifically select for escape variants which the vaccine doesn’t protect against.
The only chance of avoiding further lockdowns is through widespread, repeated testing for years to come.

Nope, that isn’t how it works unless it’s an undiagnosed true positive. False positives are random ‘glitches’ with a test - contamination, error in use or formulation etc.

No, the false positive is a randomly segregating event. Test someone who isn't infected 100 times and get 1 false positive or test 100 negative individuals and get 1 false positive. If you test an individual twice then the chance of a false positive result is 1% of 1%, ie specificity is 99.99%.
The NHSBT use this methodology all the time when testing for blood borne viruses; every donation is tested twice to improve the outcome specificity of the tests used.

Err, no they're not. "After all, thats why you`re all here...isn`t it?"

What a pudding ! My estimates of income from the stated UK manufacturing capacity (overseas manufacturing extra) will be between 90 and 540 million per annum.

If you want to get it discussed email Richard Tice at Reform UK. The anti-China, pro-British rhetoric of a sovereign test is perfect for them. They'll plaster it all over social media.
