I love BYOT products but If you want another coronavirus play with plenty of legs, check out REAT. It specialises in deep cleans and just google 'deep clean+ UK + coronavirus' to get an idea of the demand for this from NHS, schools, universities, GPs, pubs, sporting and recreational venues.

This is pretty tightly held and a little buying tends to send it up pretty quickly.

They have new management and are backed by Helium. Totally under the radar and this is a good buying opportunity. BYOT is up today, Tristel also.

They are specialists in cleaning up for viruses, including Coronavirus. Coronavirus is set to last for a long time according to this article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/15/uk-coronavirus-crisis-to-last-until-spring-2021-and-could-see-79m-hospitalised?CMP=share_btn_tw

Tristel tipped in the Mail on Sunday because of its exposure to hospitals re. cleaning. This outfit deep cleans NHS hospitals, GP surgeries and universities. Whereas Tristel has had an amazing run up from 20p over the past 6 years...this is just beginning its ascent imho.

While most of the stock market has sunk loads this is holding up not too badly.

Here are the latest UK figures, which you I reckon understate the number of infected by about 20 times!

"As of 9am 13 March 2020, a total of 32,771 people have been tested:

31,973 negative
798 positive

10 patients who tested positive for coronavirus have sadly died."

I'm expecting a huge rise in numbers of people infected over the weekend, particularly in the US. At some point in the next 2 weeks UK will surely close schools, colleges and universities. I imagine all these will require some form of deep cleaning. It is hardly surprising that hardly anyone follows this stock as they are flying completely beneath the radar of most investors. They really could do with an active broker who puts out research. Even a trading update RNS wouldn't go amiss right now.

lol....must remember that one....Latest 'official' figures for UK are 590 infected. I think we can probably add a '0' on the end of that figure.

Huge demand for hand sanitisers but also 'deep cleaning' which should also benefit (BYOT) and those specialists cleaners actually carrying out the service (REAT). According to some the official figures for the number of people infected with Coronavirus (based on a relatively few tested in the UK) are a vast underestimate: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Before you sell this in a blind panic just take the time to Google 'deep clean + coronavirus'. Demand for this service has gone through the roof.

It is clear that the number of people affected by coronavirus will grow much bigger in the UK over the next couple of months. Given the relatively small number of people tested to date, it is logical to conclude that official numbers of those with are likely to be a huge underestimate.

As of 9am 10 March 2020, a total of 26,261 people have been tested:

25,888 negative.
373 positive.

6 patients who tested positive for coronavirus have sadly died.

Read this interesting article for more information on why the official figures are wrong and why UK needs to get serious about measures to end spread: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Over the next month the need for deep cleaning to try and stop the spread of coronavirus is expected to keep on rising. Why would anyone sell this stock now? Those thinking the stock market will rise up to former highs are deluding themselves. Today's small rise was a dead cat bounce.

I spoke to a London-based company conducting deep cleans. Lots more enquiries and plenty of work. Expect this to be the case for React too. This has to be a lot higher as people realise coronavirus is growing in the UK. Deep cleaners, toilet roll manufacturers, hand gel cos must be doing well out of this. Would be great if they bothered to put out an RNS to upgrade for the year.

Reynolds is no longer involved with this. I doubt this will be taken over soon as its stated policy is to go for organic growth and acquisitions.

I used to follow this stock quite closely but it never went anywhere. They have not actually said how many they have sold in the RNS. I'd recommend you also look at REAT. Vastly undervalued and going into profit. It must be picking up a lot of business from coronavirus deep cleans. BYOT is another solid stock play on coronavirus. I can vouch that it's hand gel is the business.

Thanks Sparky. I'm not in this - don't really understand oilers but looking. I'm pretty sure we will have a global recession/depression but unsure how low oil price will go if that happens. I guess OPEC issue will be resolved before too long.

OPEC was the trigger. The concern is also how global recession will affect demand for oil. That's why I was asking here on the 27th Feb. "If the global economy goes into recession and the price of oil drops further, how badly would it affect RRE? Say, if the price of oil went to US$20-$25."

No one replied, I guess because you considered it impossible. And now?

It seems that with Coronavirus spread comes the need for more deep cleaning. Media is starting to take an interest. This article on LBC is instructive.

While most of the stock market tanks this isn't being affected. Indeed, it should go up as more people realise it is a demand positive for businesses in this sector.

I agree. Look at the quality editorial on the Aim-listed, REACT (REAT) website, which specialises in deep cleans to avoid infections, including coronavirus: https://www.reactsc.co.uk/infection-control-service

2 great companies to invest in.

A global recession could bring the price of oil well below US$50, couldn't it?

Another expert warning of what could be to come: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8085837/Coronavirus-outbreak-peak-UK-Easter-six-months.html

Of course, we'll eventually get over it. Still, it could last a lot longer than April. Maybe, we should also be invested in Andrex toilet roll the way is flying off supermarket shelves.

This is quite an interesting interview on Channel4news with an acknowledged expert, Richard Hatchett: https://www.channel4.com/news/this-is-the-most-frightening-disease-ive-ever-encountered-virus-expert-dr-richard-hatchett

He compares coronavirus to Spanish Flu, which killed approximately 50 million -- though, that was before antibiotics.
