Dflynch, here is one of many professional articles on the subject..

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu

If you don't want to read it all this is the part I referred to..
"The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, the vast majority of people do not yet have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu."

Thank you David for the detail and effort you have placed into your posts. I would however have to agree with Gerard that you are maybe looking at it from a best case scenario viewpoint.
For humanity I hope you are right and I am wrong but Covid in up to 10x more deadly than Flu and much, much more easily spread. I can't see the world beating it by just doing what we do with flu. Again I hope I'm wrong but I feel there will be some come back from rushing these vaccines through. Please God no long term side effects (very unlikely i should add) but I can see the immunity not lasting as long as we would hope and it not being robust/ easily adaptable to new strans. I also agree that its one thing getting the UK and other 1st world nations vaccinated but thats less than half of the problem solved. We will only truly be able to relax i.e not have the need for testing if the whole world has been vaccinated nd regularly...something that is unfortunately very unlikely to happen....or not for many years anyway.

Traditionally its around this part of the day that our SP starts going up (sometimes dramatically) I will place my bet that we end the day close or on yesterday's close price.

Hopefully we will get past this 33p resistance point today. I think we will then see a fairly rapid plan sale to the 37-40p range....good times ahead.

You doubters are probably correct. I agree that BAMS logistically would not be ideal for testing arrivals into the UK, but if it does turn out to be the most accurate test on the market and you want to 100% make sure you don't let the virus get past your borders then its not that far out there that they will find a way to make it work.
On BBC'S Web page today...."Earlier on Tuesday, Cabinet Office Secretary Michael Gove said announcements will come in the days ahead on "how we will make sure that our ports and airports are safe".
Why not say the type of test until a few days time? Probably over thinking it but it is a posability. Throw in our sudden rise...has there been a leak?

Did you see the report on the Airport testing? I hate to think how many times we have had the "is it us" on this BB.....but! The secrecy around what sort of test it will be makes me think it could well be BAMS, Setting my alarm for 7am. If I see we have released an RNS I will already know what it says.....sweet dreams!

I see Avacta are suddenly having a SP surge as well. Could we have a leak / rumour of waste water / breath test performance?
Probably over thinking it but (and I know neither them or us are a 'Covid Stock' as such) we are the only Covid plays doing well today and we are in collaboration with each other....huuum?

Welcome Lolmcshizz, think you got your timing right. Looks like we have an official breakout rerate on our hands. Can easily see us in the 40's before the end of the week....at this rate, before the end of today!

Wow! My expected 33p resistance didn't last long :) 35p paid! Flying! and long may it last.

The herd is on its way!
I think we might hit a bit of resistance at 33p but it will be broken at some point in the near future...Next stop should see us in the 40's. Here's hoping anyway.

Yes looking good. I'm not one for charts (not on AIM anyway) but can see us settling on or around 33p. That will be a nice level to start as off before the good news starts to roll in.

I will stick my neck out and say this share will never go below 23p again. Great pipeline of work and news coming in the near future so I can only see a steady rise (with a potential boom rise) from here on.
Hope you all gave a great Christmas and make the most of the chilled out version!

Avacta have released an RNS with the statement in it....
" we have made significant commercial progress for ALL of our coronavirus testing solutions, establishing scalable routes to market for these products to meet the anticipated very high demand"
One hopes our BT and Covid waste water testing (both containing Avacta Affimers) are in mind within this statement as well.

While we wait shall we all club together and commission a large poster for Al to stick to his office wall?

Imminently = 1 to 2 days maximum.
Shortly = within 1 to 2 weeks.
Very soon = see Imminently
A few weeks = 2 to 6 weeks
End of Summer = End of Summer
End of Q4 = End of Q4

Remember! Do not talk of "significant progress' and pat people on the back if you miss these timelines.

Fantastic news! I don't think the market has woken up to it yet. This will have every hand sanitiser / hand wash manufacture in the world scrambling to add the 'PROVEN' to kill xx.x% of covid" to their packaging and advertisements.
Large extra revenue on its way i am 100% sure.

The 5 day chart paints a nice picture. Nice forward movement and momentum building with lots of news (I'm sure good) to come in the near term pipeline.
Very chilled about my investment here, I can only see agains throughout 2021. If we nail the Covid tests very big ones! But still good even without them.

Yeah, I have read the last RNS several times.
Thinking positively he does labor the 'scalable' element quite a bit which makes me think that they have just hit problems getting all the components they need (in mass) for the saliva test? Get cracking with a new simpler to mass produce test to get out a sell sooner and hope you can get hold of what you need for our 'amazing' saliva test in the near future? Unfortunately there's the or (negative thinking) that the saliva is not up to the standards set so we needed to take the slightly less convenient but better results route?? We will find out one day.

I still can't believe the validation has taken so long due to problems with getting samples (I know this is mostly CONDORs doing).
All that clever stuff to make the thing but no one could find a way to collect samples! Keeping in mind there was / is massive queues of people up and down the county waiting to give one.
Its like someone inventing a teleportation machine and saying "it definitely works but we can't use it as we don't have a electric socket to plug it into"...so frustrating! but surly home strait now, been thinking any day for 3 months so must be very soon, pleeeease.

We all seem to be forgetting about this one. My view is this could actually be the under the radar golden egg for large long term revenues.
Going forward, let’s say we get to 70% of the population vaccinated but we know the immunity will weaken over ? (time). The costs of constant vaccinations programs and / or mass testing will brake government’s finances eventually.
Waste water testing is peanuts cost in comparison. It also has the big added benefit of being completely none invasive, you can test entire communities without them even knowing they are being tested (right up governments street!)
If I’m in the government now and thinking about long term plans it is a perfect solution. Test ALL waste water. When an area gets flagged up for an increase of covid cases you send in your boxes of Avacta test to each household. Then get the positive cases to book themselves in for a vaccine. This will be the most cost effective way to keep the virus under control by a very long way.
Remember, our Affimers are in the sensors used by Deepverge and they would need to be replaced each month. I’m not sure how many sensors you would need to test all waste water in the country but its going to be a lot!, throw in USA, China etc (where Deepverge already have their systems set up) and that is one hell of a Affimer production line needed that will continue month after month for many, many years.
Sensors for Covid detection currently being tested at sights in the UK and valuated by (Aberdeen Uni) results due late December / early Jan, could be massive!  

Sudden 2p SP rise ! Poundcake must be going mental! Its happening people £2.50 SP before the end of the day...its happening im telling you and if I keep telling you it will definitely happen!
