there's no coming back from the other. ATB

I think it would be wise to do if the test is accurate.

The stress of the not knowing if it could be the worst type is causing stress among both patients, family members, friends, etc.

For those who are positive for the acute form, it provides a fast track to the most effective protocols.

Came across my twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1309443813006626817?s=20

Japanese researchers have developed a blood test they say appears to serve as an early warning system for serious cases of COVID-19, and deployed 500 prototype machines to trial its effectiveness nationwide.

If this proves effective, it will be a fantastic tool for hospital triage around the globe.

I think it is best to have all bases covered as there are so many different conditions which could affect vaccines which rely primarily on antigen efficacy. It will be an interesting to see how this spills over into cancer vaccines.

Very informative and easy to understand.

Thank you for posting it.

I saw that in other sources. To be fair, he had most of that value before he left a position there.

Could it be was a dead cat to detract from the news of the UK vaccine challenge trials because 3 of the leading candidates are not participating in it?

BioNTech (Pfizer) sees no role for its vaccine in UK challenge trial
AstraZeneca and Sanofi both have said their vaccine candidates were not involved in the programme.

Who will the trial be with then?

Hi Ivy, I've been here awhile, having first invested in 2016. I only started posting on the board last year/early this year.

As others have pointed out I would have been better off putting in the 79% of my investment in the OO into Scancell straight away. However, I'm happy to hold for a couple of years. I did manage to get my BE under 7p, so very happy indeed that someone lit a rocket under the share price. Speculators will also be pleased if any of Scancell's product lines produce the commercial success expected.

As for the "new strain", as I understand it, it is highly contagious, though symptoms are not as severe. I'm still not clear about whether a person/animal can catch two different strains at the same time (or indeed be a carrier for two different strains). As you will see on twitter, I'd prefer to wait for Scancell's / ANOther DNA based vaccine.

Today's Scancell news is great.

Isn't that the same strain that has been around since the summer?

All the best for this week C7. Hoping you Ace your way through it all.

I was just having a cuppa and nearly spit it out - another ending to avoid. Personally, I'd like to see another zero on the end of it in due course.

Apologies, I should have said Energy demand will be higher. Thanks for the reminder.

He had a call with him today scheduled after her briefing. It appears the few hotspots which were in local lockdown have expanded. I believe today's briefing said she would be asking about financial assistance as well - eg furlough and renters bit.

I'm assuming that at some point the Gov is going to have to break their "don't pay dividends" request in the light of their own massive spending all over the shop. I've earmarked by the end of 2021.

Yep, I agree. Lloyds should be doing much better than it is today.

As long as they keep paying the divi, I'll bide my time.

Given that many more homes will need heating this winter because many more of us will be in lockdown, I think that we could see an increase in demand over prior years. Obviously, business usage will be down, but I still think on balance, demand will be up for everything except airplane fuel. I don't think business travel will ever be the same.

Well and truly.

Thank you for spotting that. The number of low trades seems very odd - maybe they pay very little commission.

I'm going to throw in an OMG as that seems to be the norm on this board. (and no, OMG is not something you will hear me utter)

OMG We're Blue when the FTSE is pasted Red. Happy Days

WTP, thank you for this interesting article. I'm hoping that Scancell have someone actually watching the board in case this is new stuff on their road to improving outcomes. It will be interesting to see if other cancers are also very dependent on enzymes called pyruvate carboxylase and malic enzyme to increase tumour size.
