@Andip85 -- Reason for London coming off worst is that a large % of the population STILL refuse to be vaccinated. Extremely frustrating as friend in his early 60s with a life threatening heart condition has been told there is no chance of an operation because all hands are at the pump dealing with Covid -- presumably many of those will be the anti vax mob! Many lives will be lost due to these selfish people.

Dear
At Novacyt Group, we pride ourselves on the scientific rigour we apply to all aspects of product design. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, ongoing analysis becomes increasingly crucial. Our state-of-the-art SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance programme allows us to monitor the virus closely as it spreads and mutates. We are pleased to report the latest findings for our solutions:
SNPsig® SARS-CoV-2 EscapePLEX can be used to screen SARS-CoV-2 positive samples for the presence of the Omicron variant with >98% confidence.
PathFlow® COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Pro targets the nucleocapsid protein (NP) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and therefore unaffected by the mutations associated with Omicron (BA.1 & BA.2), and other Variants of Concern (VoC).
Novacyt’s other main qPCR assays intended for primary SARS-CoV-2 testing are unaffected by the emergence of the Omicron variant.

There are some chronic asthma sufferers on this forum. Winter can be the most difficult time of the year. Cold, dry air and sudden shifts in the weather can irritate airways, causing production of more mucus. It doesn’t always help to stay indoors, as this can lead to an increase in respiratory illnesses like colds and flu. So even if - and it's a BIG 'if', Covid started to wane next year, there are tens of thousands of people probably millions worldwide, whose lives are a misery due to asthma who will welcome relief through SNG with open arms -- SNG is far from a one trick pony - we tend to forget that!
PI100 - I know the feeling well. Let's hope Nova comes good sooner than later although I am beginning to doubt if we will hear of any more developments before Christmas. Perhaps DA (remember him?) will want to start the year with a bang!

Did SNG advertise this event before? Somehow doubt it so given the unusual timing, something meaningful is likely to emerge or perhaps recent announcement is to be given wider publicity. Either way, it cannot do the concern any harm!
