Anybody else pick up on this buried near the bottom?

This is very interesting, not sure if anybody has picked up on it yet?

"the same BAMS assay for the spike protein can also be used for drug development efforts to screen compounds that block interaction with host cells through the ACE2 receptor to prevent virus infection."

Can somebody with more knowledge than me - perhaps Ophidian - translate? It seems to be saying the BAMS test will be able to help in the development of a neutralising therapy?

Also can I just add - I don't think I've ever been so happy to see an RNS!

Perhaps, but I suspect most people watching will be existing investors who want news, not people looking to invest.

Could easily do more harm that good. If there's no RNS beforehand, he'll need to play it very carefully. He'll be limited on what he can say, but if he says too little and the silence will be deafening...

Perhaps - but if that was the case he could've surely withdrawn in good time without anybody noticing. I think this webinar was only annouced recently?

Also, would you even book yourself to be on it if you weren't absoutely sure to be on track at the time? Maybe, but I wouldn't. That would be foolish.

Also, how could he possibly pitch his company on it's future pipeline when the share price is balanced on a knife age based upon recent promises currently not delivered upon... and fail to talk about it? That would be a crazy thing to try and do. I really can't see it happening and sincerely hope it doesn't!

This was less yjsn 20p pre Covid, I think that shows how signicant it is to the price of this share and how many are invested for that very reason. I really can't see AS making an appearance and not discussing it. Problem being, if there's not been an RNS he can't say much!

There will be plenty of future opportunties for webinars, plus he seems keen on putting out his own videos too. So why do it now and put himself in the firing line for no reason?

If I were AS and had no news to release before 6pm on Thursday, I would definitely be keeping my head down!

That's how I would view it if I were him, but who knows what will happen! Anything is possible with this share it seems!

I'm not so sure, PoI.

Even though Avacta have a great pipeline, AS must know that BAMS and LFD are dictating the share price movements at present and there's a loss of confidence amongst PI's. If he makes an appearance and can't give an update, a lot of investors are not going to be pleased. Furthermore, if he were to attempt to avoid the subject of LFD and BAMS, I think many investors will lose confidence and the share price will fall even further. I've held consistently since 40p and I would say I'm a fairly solid PI, but even I would be considering significantly reducing my holding here (which is currently very unbalanced vs my other holdings).

Just a reminder to sign up for the webinar on Thursday at 6pm

If we don't get an RNS before then, at least we know there will be SOMETHING... hopefully.

Surely it must be odds on for an RNS before then? Also, as somebody else pointed out - if it was going to be bad news (or even no news)... would AS really want to put himself in this position? I wouldn't want to...

UK is a tiny market compared to the rest of the world anyway.

That is all.

On the Awacta calender... todays date is the 39th May 2020.

News hungry shares are bad because they're prone to falls as we are seeing here. However, when positive news lands the reversal is normally massive.

We have two/three products here which we expect near term news flow on - LFD, BAMS and therapeutics (to a lesser extent at ths moment). If successful, all of these will have huge demand and the potential to start bringing the world out of the humanitarian and economic crisis which it's currently in.

Anybody buying in here who thought it wasn't going to be a bumpy ride is probably a bit niave. I've said this before and I'll say it again - go and look at the NCYT chart. And their product wasn't even groundbreaking...

I think a lot of people expected the same Timster and that's why so many people are a bag of nerves due to no news.

Don't think there's going to be any slow but reasurring trickle here! It's going to be all or nothing by the looks of things!

Back for your day trade as usual volcano?

Might be a false alarm, but this was posted yesterday by directors talk and currently has NO VIEWS.

It might be an old one that's been re-uploaded, but I've personally never seen it before and I follow Awacta very closey!

I agree on the weather - people sitting outside in their garden or in the park with friends won't be happening now the temperatures dropped. But no doubt friends and family will still be meeting up - indoors most likely! Far higher risk of transmission!

Plus protests all over the country. Mostly younger people - perhaps many will be asyptomatic and be the next group of 'super spreaders?'

It amazes me that people think this is going away, yet it seems to be the wider view of the UK public.

I'm very confident the statistics will show a rise in due course. I hope it happens sooner rather than later. The sooner is happens, the easier it will be for the Gov to bring people back in line. Almost nobody makes an effort to keep 2m anymore, at least not where I live in the south. Plus, from a selfish point of view it would re-invigorate the positive sentiment in Covid-19 shares which seems to have faded over the past couple of weeks.

IMO the more shares that fall into the hands of II's the better. We need investors who are more switched on and can see how big the market is for the LFD and also BAMS.

I think we have a lot of shares in the hands of inexperienced PI's who are based in the UK. They think coronavirus is over, panic every day when there's no news and sell when the price drops - thus perpetuating it.

Work in the local hospital*

Really did make a mess of that post didn't I. Better go and make another coffee.

one who thought it was fine got a negative result*

That was supposed to say.

Sparticus, seems to be consensus between a couple of my friends who local in the local hospital and have both been tested that if it doesn't hurt/wasn't unpleasant it probably wasn't done properly.

Both believed they had Covid-19, same symptoms etc. The one who said it was very uncomfortable got a positive result, the one who thought it was fine got a positive result.

I appreciate this is nothing more than an anecdote, but I think the reason why there's some people saying it was awful and others saying it's fine completely depends on how thoroughly the swab was taken.

Hi Trek,

Yes I saw your posts and that's what got me thinking about it actually. Dramatically more testing will surely uncover dramatically more cases and this information could be available to the Gov.

Before I go any further I'll start by saying the new case count globally is continuing to climb and the UK is only a tiny part of the market.

We are seeing a falling case count in the UK .

(This may be true, or it may just be due to time to show symtoms, get tested, get results there's a delay of a couple of weeks. We don't actually know what's happening right now with social distance having pretty much gone out the window. There seems to be an increasing belief we will get a second wave, whether that be sooner or later - unless there is a dramatic improvement in testing.)

Anyway... getting to the point of post:

If/when Awacta release the LFD, testing on that scale is surely going to expose a lot of new cases? Lets say the LFD gets in some way coupled to 'track and trace' meaning the government then have these statistics.

Could it have an effect that we haven't thought of?

Is it possible that suddenly being able to screen the population on mass may expose a true extent of the virus, creating a spike in the statistics? What effect would this have do we think? It would no doubt create a self perpetuating demand for testing, but I wonder how the Government and public (who are now very relaxed it seems) would respond?

This is just something I've been thinking about. Sorry this post holds no great value!
