Member Info for megatro

Was hoping to see details about staff numbers, and more information in turnover from casseting and packaging services already being provided to govt . Not sure if I've missed it as I speed read the RNS I'll have a look again

"Obviously not concrete news as it would be in an RNS!!"

That tweet is pretty much lifted from information in the RNS, just a bit more succinct.

I would hazard a guess they just added the two bidstat documents together not realising they're in essence the same thing £374m x 2 = £748m.

Decent article re comparison of LFT and PCR

Would being part of this program help speed things along?

Jadam and the rants

5 school days a week, term time 39 weeks a year, testing those who would have otherwise had to isolate as opposed to testing every single child every single day.

There's been no decision on testing primary school children, policy I would think would more likely to be aimed at secondary schools if it is implemented.

Not sure how but you managed to make a **** up of every factor in arriving at your 22bn

Do you have a link?

Wasnt the share price around 59p at 16:30 and then dropped to 54.50 after close - there was an UT of circa 50,000 shares sold.

Don't think that sale should have justified a 4.5p drop in itself but hey ho.

So at face value this is up based on fridays official close price of 54.5.

I know some posters on here have said they are ordering the tests to throw straight in the bin. They've been really busy!

On a serious note - in theory this should mean the Innova 'stockpile' is diminishing and should ease any concern surrounding lord bethells tweet that 97.7m rapid tests have been "taken".

"Money paid by the government as a pre-payment. Must be time to check the payment received this month - can someone check please if May payments have been printed"

Nothing yet - looking at dates previous data was published not sure when May's info will appear.

Stevek1972 - I agree no extension of contract present that I can see

Back to the subject on covid passes... is someone able to check on their NHS app if the functionality referred to is present? I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do so because of my location.

It's behind a paywall I don't have access to, anyone else have access to see what's mentioned. Thanks.

Can't see this anywhere else in the media article states -

"Fans will be able to show that they have had both doses of the jab, a recent negative test or have had the virus in the last six months. "

Could be positive news on ABC? On that topic what's taking MHRA so long to make decision on home use of test?

I haven't really given much consideration to the GAD contract, what effect will this development have?? They entered into a similar contract as odx but would they want to manafacture a device not their own?

Doesn't the test need to go through porton down for home use in the UK? Happy to be corrected if Ive misunderstood this! That being the case I thought Avacta would encounter difficulties due to frozen samples being used?

Also RNS states CE marking for home use is being sought is that for UK or EU home use?
