Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Everyone is aware how many die from the flu each year but never have I known that their (potential) partner, children, neighbor, GP , nurse, consultant, paramedic, other patients, delivery drivers, shop assistants also died with them. There's no comparison between the flu and this virus, it carries similar symptoms to the flu but so does a hangover, 2 completely different beasts.
It's obvious how bad the shortage is as they clearly use them very sparingly and the doctor in New York who was enraged about it showed this by telling us how he had to go through strict procedures to gain permission to use just one, they are treating them like gold dust. I don't believe this need is going to end for a very long time unfortunately this virus in one shape or form will be a part of our lives for many years to come.
I wonder how they can export testing kits so easily when they can't even continue their supply of essential pharmaceutical drugs, besides I thought all this buying cheap goods from China was a problem they wanted to reduce not increase and of course you would think they would keep their own tests seeing as they have a shortage of them themselves, funny old world.
Unfortunately there's plenty of bad news regarding this virus especially the added findings of it causing an attack on the central nervous system, which would explain the videos coming out of China of people having full body fits. Terrible times. However, back to this company, can anyone explain to me what the good news on it is please. There's a lot of posts on here and I'm getting mixed messages so would be grateful if someone could say what any new developments there are, thank you.
There was an article in the New York Times a day or 2 ago about the lack of testing kits and Novacyt was mentioned in at as a potential resource. It came after that New York doctor went on TV in a rage abo5the lack of testing kits.
You don't NEED the certificate, unless you like to hang a picture on your wall. The American government haven't got the time to go through all the normal procedures they have taken a short cut and told those who were waiting to go ahead and that is exactly Novacyt have done, they are in the American market. As far as I'm aware the American government have done a deal with all insurance companies that these tests will all be paid for by them, for everyone so no one is going to hesitate getting the test if it is found to be required.
I think some people seem to be confused over the FDA situation. Last weekend the American government announced they were allowing any company that was waiting on FDA approval to go ahead and sell their product to American distribution companies, Novacyt is doing that now, they already have their testing kit on sale in America through Lifescience Biological www.usbio.net . I'm not sure why there is any concern about the FDA, they have the permission to sell they don't need any further certificates.
But you don't need the FDA there was an exemption given last weekend, anyone who was waiting on approval was granted permission to go ahead and sell to the official distributors. Go back to the USs statement and read it, it's all there.........
Take a look at this. US Biological Life Sciences who are a major US distributor now selling Primerdesign genesig kits for Covid-19 online. So, the product is up and running in America as you read this, which is great news... see link below
