VAnv , I also ask myself the same with Novacyt, on one hand looking at the rise since late January to now you'd think it couldnae do much more( me being of the non knowledgeable guesser type) ,
but due to the scale of this pandemic( still unfolding) and health systems ( worldwide not just UK NHS) that are running lean ,
Also due to this affecting multiple countries and all continents , then the scope of demand is huge as we all know( and rising).
The big factor for Novacyt is to make sure it has the access to the raw materials to make thier kits and test them and ensure production capabilities are available to handle WORLDWIDErequirements!! , and that will also be a risk to them as the big players like Roche will be all over that i would expect. Quickdraw may manage to get some info on the raw materials as he mentioned that would be his next research area.
Im not in with much about 3 k in mid february , but I'm just going to sit tight at present, as i think the biggest headache of all countries leaders will be an exit strategy from lockdown.......can anyone think of one that doesn't involve testing ??? So thats why i think we've got a good bit to run yet- hopefully! GLA
