No, didn't have test at the time. GP wanted to know if I needed to go to hospital, but I was OK to walk upstairs 3 times and still talk, so no. Just told me I had all the symptoms and to stay at home and call for ambulance if it got worse. Which it didn't.

Ditto. I had Covid-19 (all the symptoms, 2 weeks more ill than I've ever been, 3 weeks totally exhausted, 5 weeks sick in total) in March/April, so applied. Received text this morning saying I'm not eligible. Doh.

And "Curios" is an old English alternative spelling for odd objects one finds in a market-town shop that was run by your grandparents.

@Graham - same day as what? The Cytiva event is 28th Oct, not Sept, or am I missing something?

@Sharehunter - I was also distracted on the AVCT board, sadly. What do you use for tracking for an interesting intraday RNS, esp where you are NOT already following the company, this can be a constant screen watch. Where you are following, it's easier of course, but VOX can still take several minutes to push the notification.

Thank you OilNovice. ICON should get you to write their stuff for them.

I clearly should have. Dreadful state of affairs.

He's being very upbeat ...

I'm aware of the finance-direction RNS, that you quote from, and the tone it took, being somewhat more assertive and positive about the future. My question/point remains however, that I would not expect contract news to be held up just because fund was still in? It it's commercially sensitive (like the JOE Media gig) then the info is released, irrespective of the financial management policy. Basically I'm not understanding your earlier point that there will be now load of news as the fund is out of the way, I mean they are not now going to release back-dated news. I can imagine there could now however be altogether better news going forward as the Co is more focused on business, the material growth they refer to.

@Amt_G18; I'm just catching up from this morning. You say " I'm more than convinced they are out. But we just need the confirmation like i said. Pretty sure we will see one because they've released TR-1's in the past showing 0%. Then the contract news will start flowing." Why should contract news be held up just because fund was still in? Id does not work that way, the Co would surely want to (or have to, if it's commercially sensitive) release such news right away.

@Maylands - awesome info.

@Cloudstrife - thanks for the pointers! Good luck with yours, may you always be with the 51% or better.

Good spot Mizman - I was already aware of the Abingdon app, and assumed it would be a part of the UK RTC "package". It's amazing though that it is this late (as it where) that this form of funding is happening. Anyway, just more confirmation that it's time to switch off the PC, maybe return from time to time over the next few weeks to buy dips, and then sit back as the package is launched (with antigen tests, too, mind you) and and watch the orders come in, globally. IMHO.

@Cloudstrife - per your ntog is currently the highest riser, Icon is currently the greatest faller" example - I understand what you are saying. But would it be better to action this at the end of a day (not e.g. now), and to buy in to some of the completing day's largest fallers?

@BB I reckon testing is very badly broken. My local testing centre at a local sports ground is a ginormous queuing system, barriers everywhere, for cars to wait their turn patiently. Not a soul in sight except the bod with a yellow jacket under the testing gazebo, looking bored. No one there - presumably because they can offer no tests, presumably because all the lab-techs went back to uni. You could not make this stuff up.

Maybe Siborg is on the wrong BB? Or is clueless, as you say.

Been reading a lot of what's been said today, esp the impossible task of deciphering what our PM was trying to say. Seems to me that the gov't have dropped a big comms clanger (nothing new) with "moonshot" way before it can delivery, perfectly timed with the crank in test demand as education restarts and the drop in lab capacity as summer labtechs go back to uni. Top planning result, well done Dido Harding (or someone). Not. So, now Operation Moonshut (as one paper had it) is today's screw up, but is unrelated to the plan to get 10m a day available by early 2021. The challenge for that will be to get to the point where, say, 70m LFTs (a week's worth) of various types are sat in warehouses for the newly contracted distribution partners to roll out, and to be able to let the Gov't communication wizzards out to say something concrete. They have no clue right now, I suspect, how to ensure we have a week's worth of stock before launching - something like that. What a shambles!!

Thank you Jajokit, I see that you are new on LSE, I appreciate your time taken to explain this.

Thank you to whoever it was that said "once European Growth blah are out this will bag", so I didn't have time to do much research, I just drank the Kool-Aid. Perhaps someone with longer experience of Iconic Labs could explain why the departure (nearly) of this fund is so positive for the stock? Thanking everyone!!
