is playing a large part here. Now the AZ vaccine is being rolled out there seems to be an impression ( totally wrong ) that tests, masks and social distancing do not matter so much.
The opposite is actually the case but as several Covid stocks NCYT, ODX, GDR are down 5% to 10% today it seems a lot of people have sold up - or is that what the market wants us to think ?

Certainly adding to the ever longer list of dubious actions that need investigating and explaining.

tests and masks not "teats and masks" ( a whole other story )

Also, weirdly, sentiment seems to be since the vaccines arrived in November and most covid sp's halved, that teats and masks are no longer needed.
Completely wrong perception but irritatingly difficult to change it seems. A little more communication from the company might help but what we really need - as we all know, is evidence of sales, which for some reason, we cannot apparently get.

See you in November.

so sp opens climbs to 66 and closes at 61 ?
Just what you would expect.
Maybe a a day of real trading tomorrow ?

as are several other stocks - conicidence ? Nah.

chrome after reading your post I reran my dates on the calculator.
The 1st time I did this I got a date between 01/02 and 28/02/ 2021.
Now it is 26/03/2021 and 28/05/2021 for full protection, so it’s slipped between 2 and 3 months.
After self isolating and shielding since mid March on medical advice and following major surgery in Aug, delayed from March, meaning I must continue to do so until vaccinated this is of course disappointing to say the least.

Nice to know all the agenda items were passed.
Could you tell us something about sales and timelines please ?

Have a lot to learn bout hoe to get a vaccine authorised widely - Guardian today
"European Medicines Authority unlikely to approve Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine this month
The European Medicines Authority (EMA) will most likely not be able to approve the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford in January, the watchdog’s deputy executive director, Noël Wathion, said.

“They have not even filed an application with us yet”, he said in an interview with the Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad on Tuesday. European regulators had only received some information about the vaccine, Wathion said.

“Not even enough to warrant a conditional marketing licence”, he added. “We need additional data about the quality of the vaccine. And after that, the company has to formally apply.”

This made it “improbable” that an approval could be granted next month, Wathion said.

The EMA could not be reached for comment.

AstraZeneca told Reuters last week that its Covid-19 vaccine should be effective against the new coronavirus variant, adding that studies were under way to fully investigate the impact of the mutation.

It had submitted a full data package about its vaccine to the British medicines regulator, the UK health secretary, Matt Han****, said."

No shorts have been declared.
Just a dodgy bod ?

How long do you want to stay in lockdown ?

but take 72 hours ?
LFT is not as accurate but it is very quick very easy to distribute and very cheap.
As I said before finding even 50% must be better than finding none ?

In response to comments made by the press and Mr Deeks - surely its better to identify 79% ( professionals ) or 73% ( trained healthcare assistants0 or even 58% ( home tests ) of those who do not know they have the virus than none at all ?
If R is 1.4 now say and we could test a large chunk of the population even identifying 58% would substantially reduce the R figure - which is exactly what we need. The solution is not a perfect test - its testing as many as we can.

jayhayes absolutely useless - maybe we should all email walbrook ?
I thought the job of a pr company was to improve/facilitate good public relations i.e. create opportunities for good publicity ? I didn't realise they had to wait until news was announced and then tell us what it was, still they must be cheap - ( yes sarcasm ).

Latest news from guardian newspaper

Face masks lower the risk of spreading large Covid-linked droplets when speaking or coughing by up to 99.9%, a lab experiment with mechanical mannequins and human subjects has found.

A woman standing two metres from a coughing man without a mask will be exposed to 10,000 times more large droplets than if he were wearing one, even if he is only 50 centimetres away, researchers reported in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

The study focused on particles larger than 170 microns in diameter, which are understood to be the main driver of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

“There is no more doubt whatsoever that face masks can dramatically reduce the dispersion of potentially virus-laden droplets,” senior author Ignazio Maria Viola, an expert in applied fluid dynamics at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering, told AFP.

According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle, Washington, 55,000 lives could be saved in the United States over the next four months if a policy of universal mask use were adopted.

The WHO updated its Covid-19 guidance to recommend masks be worn indoors in the presence of other people if ventilation is inadequate earlier this month.

Don't know the company haven't said. Press making wild allegations about poor results and going completely unchallenged.
