"But we do actually have to have a test"
We do have a test, it's trademarked and being put through CV - so it exists there is no doubt about that. AS said himself GAD are in a position to produce it right now. Do you honestly believe there isn't a test?
The fact its not being sold yet and we were told "around end of Q1" is a little frustrating yes. But all this talk of missing the boat.....farcical really.
I would be concerned if quality tests that have been put through stringent validation were flooding in, but they aren't. Govt have Surescreen and Mologic ready to go, but they aren't giving them contracts is huge volumes.
Radio silence from all the RTC and other companies is quite telling.
IMO AS's hands are tied to an extent but we shall see (or we may never find out the real reasons). However, the fact that £8bn tender is still sat there unfilled when the Govt have 2 tests they could be producing right now speaks volumes for me. Innova contract was outside of the DPS.
Uk Gov or Europe - this boat has not sailed yet.
