MR St - I can't see how this would work unless every passenger was supervised, otherwise it's too easy to cheat.
If you've got to be supervised, might as well just have someone running it through a machine...?
Always Whining, in the past 30 days you've posted 85 times over three stocks. 75 of those posts are on this board.
I can't be bothered to read them all, but I'm sure they're all negative.
You have no creditibilty plus this is a difficult stock to deramp because there's so many people who have been here a long time. I've been here since April and many others have too. There's too many informed posters on here for you to have any success, so what's the point?
You claim to provide balance, but nobody will take your view as balanced when you clearly have an agenda... most likely sour grapes because you sold out too soon.
Personally I've never agreed with the idea that the LFD test would be used in airports, stadiums etc. It would just be too wasteful and costly. In these scenarios a portable machine makes far more sense.
I still think the LFD will still be the most common form of test in use, though.
For example, you wake up feeling unwell and need to know whether you can leave for work in an hour or not.
Or, you are going to watch an away football game. It's 3 hours drive away and you know you'll be tested on arrival. Would you test yourself before you left home? Probably.
Same applies if you were off to the airport to catch a plane and knew you were going to be tested on arrival. Would you test yourself before leaving home? Even if you felt okay, probably. If you had a possible symptom, almost certainly.
Requires a machine, even though this is a great improvement over what is currently available.
It will still require a trip to the testing station which may also require booking ahead. Not very helpful if you've just woken up, don't feel well and you're wondering whether you can go to work today or not.
Also, 12 mins doesn't include the amount of time it takes to drive to and from your nearest testing station... which could be very close or absolutely miles away...
The problem with antibody tests, even if immunity is proven... is what next?
Lets say people with antibodies have immunity, what are you going to do with that information aside from create statistics?
If you give that group of people any special treatment, lets say for example being able to go on holiday and not quarantine on return... huge numbers of people will then actively seek to catch Covid-19 like children with a chicken pox party. Of course, those people may not feel they're at risk - but they will likely spread it to people are who at risk. The exact opposite of 'flattening the curve' would happen, meaning everything up to now is completely undone and the damage to the economy was all for nothing.
I am yet to here to use case for antibody tests for anything beyond gathering statistics, even if immunity is proven.
I was out for a lockdown walk the day that NCYT rise happened. I was on my phone desperately trying to get some signal to see what was happening. I managed to offload a touch under £5. That was a good day!
Hoping the BAMS RNS lands soon. Shouldn't be long now, I'm expecting it very shortly. Underpin the share price ready for the LFD 'big one.'
There will have be a lot of underwater sellers who just want out after being in the red. We will need to reach the previous high of 210 to clear them all. At the current price we will have cleared the majority, though.
C_H - Fair point, but I think you're in a minority there. I think most people would take the instant test and if it's positive, self isolate. If it's negative and they aren't convinced it's correct because they have symptoms, they would then look to confirm their negative result with a lab test.

1. Correct and fair comment
2. I'm not sure that anything has been pushed back? The CEO said as soon as possible during the summer, and summer ends 22nd September. That's over a month away. To be honest, I do think it will overun in terms of seeing them distributed on the shelves - but when you consider they're doing something that nobody else has succeded at and is clearly very difficult, I don't think it's fair to knock them.
3. Do you know a highly regarded hedge fund took a very large holding in that placing when they could have bought in for 20% of the price only a few weeks earlier?
I know there's probably a lot of people here who are very emotionally attached to NCYT, but honestly I think it's dangerous for people to convince themsleves that when Avacta bring their test to market (I say when as failure appears unlikely) that it's going to absolutely transform the testing landscape.
One can argue the benefits of lab and machine based testing, but the bottom line is the population will ultimately be choosing how they test themselves and therefore dictating which companies are and are not succesful. Convenience and speed almost always prevails, unless there's another overiding factor such as price. With Avacta tests probably going to be around £15 wholesale and £30 retail, they're going to be relatively inexpensive.
If a woman thinks they're pregnant - what do they do? Go to the shop and buy a pregnancy test. Lab tests are available and are more accurate, but who does that? Okay, I know that's slightly different but the general principle still applies.
AquaeSulis... in a few weeks, a much higher level of confidence than I would have right now!
Rapid point of care antigen testing will be a game changer for the likes of Europe and the USA... but an even bigger game changer in countries with lesser access to laboratories (before we go onto the issue of poor swabbing giving false negatives as that's a whole other matter).
Once these tests are available, it will be a big, positive turning point in my opinion. No swabbing issues, no delay for a result, cheap. Exactly whats needed in order to see some sort of return to normality.
Wouldn't be pinning hopes on a vaccine. Even if succesful (and there's many pitfalls) /.... getting people to actually take it will be a problem. I'm not anti-vax by any means, but I wouldn't want a vaccine which had been made in a rush without any longer term assesment of it. I've only spoken with two people who've said they would have it.
No success. I cancelled my limit order and bought at 146p. I thought it might complete at 145 but I'm not that fussed about a penny difference! It was only an extra 500 quid of shares and I've got a fairly considerable holding already which I've been building since 40p so it's not really affected my average at all.
