RE: Within expectations?15 Sep 2020 09:19
Genie - I think everyone would say this has taken longer than initially expected (even Avct themselves). However, the lack of competition would suggest this is not an easy thing to get right.
Couple that with the shambolic start to test and trace, this has to be 100% right second time round. That explains the goal post moving by the regulatory bodies, which includes some form of app to record results (that wasn’t on the cards day one).
Also, just think of the reputational damage to Avct if a shoddy test was rushed out. Don’t forget we aren’t a COViD antigen lft test company, as has been said we wedged ourselves into this market where we saw an opportunity And a process that can take years is being reduced to months. To ruin years of hard work in the oncology space with a duff test would be commercial suicide.
Don’t get me wrong, I want this to be out ASAP for the benefit of the world. However, I want it to also work.....and work well.
