The doomster poster just can't resist, the great oracle of market crash predictions.

Apologies to all for the digression. Come on ye Ygen, bring the testing on...as well as our core business of course.

Ale, Thankyou kind of supports my argument. The nation failed magnanimously in protecting from the outset those who should have been shielded- mass murder in the care homes,( sending those believed infected from NHS hospitals back to care homes), those with underlying health conditions etc.
So where is the logic in crashing the whole economy for the sake of the 0.5% population who should have been afforded protection from day one? Shield those who were most at risk, get on with life for the rest.
The counting of Covid deaths has also been a disgrace- ask any pathologist who are generally excluded from performing any post mortems because of government directive. A care home operative is now permitted to determine the cause of death as Covid related if they susoect it to be the cause. Minimal medical expertise or evidence required.
I agree with you Ale, look at the data and you will be a realist.
As any science fiction writer will tell you, some people just love to be scared...

Twix/JAdam - last week saw less deaths in the UK than the corresponding week last year, that's how little an impact Covid has now! (Incidentally,It does not follow that Covid leads to pneumonia, two completely separate viruses please DYOR)
I fully accept it must be horrible for those who contract and die from it, but a PHE official only in the last seven days admitted they don't know how to **** the number of deaths ( I.e. Likely OVERstated)
Where are the 500,000 deaths predicted by Ferguson at the outset?
Twix, you remain as ever the know-it all keyboard warrior who just wants to be loved.
Anyway, enough of this Covid tosh, you relentless doomsters.

JAdam, don't wish to clog this forum up with the whys and wherefores of Covid. Just look at the statistics. You are a hypocrite if you think crashing the economy is a justifiable course of action, and then seek to financially benefit by buying into a company which happens to be diverging into the testing market. Let's hope you will divert any profits you make into the great Covid deception.

JAdam, You are generally a rational being but seems you have bought heavily into the Covid-hysteria. Just a fact or two to put matters into perspective: last week Covid was responsible for just 4% of notified deaths in the UK. Yes, you read that right, just 4%.Pneumonia has been responsible for more deaths than Covid ever was, throughout the whole outbreak. Try sepsis. And last year, smoking related deaths were estimated at 78,000 in the UK.And that's before we even begin to factor in undiagnosed cancers, heart-attacks, suicides which will directly or indirectly be attributable to Lockdown.So, please if you want a glance at the reality, may I gently direct you to Lockdownsceptics.org, populated by knowledgeable scientists and research that don't buy the hysterics.Oh, and Covid does choose who it actually kills: you seem to be conflating getting infected and actually dying from it.Now, wash your hands.

The fact of the matter is that the testing strategy as promoted by this government is all over the place and in total disrepute. The decision to appoint someone like Harding ( TalkTalk, Thomas Cook) leading the charge does not inspire confidence and is already coming home to roost.
It appears Ygen, with its highly accurate Covid product,is best focusing on that part of the market which can afford to pay, that is the corporate side. I would expect it to be materially more expensive than the common drive-through and postal tests being administered to the key workers, symptomatic populace. This market seems to have already been considerably saturated.
I would expect LR and the significant links the company has developed via Nipt testing to focus upon specific companies or sectors, as with Caxton.
'We are all in this together' is a nonsense mantra that even Orwell would have been proud of.

Twix- grammatical, stylistical and basic spelling errors in abundance make the vast majority of your postings largely incomprehensible.
As a fellow LTH I really struggle to comprehend why you remain an alleged investor here. If the risk/ reward doesn't fit your outlook for the Co. then why preach constant doom and gloom but then state you've never held so many of these pesky shares? Something not quite right here methinks.

Seems may be standing room only if/when the next BOD convenes. It does, however, suggest a very ambitious trajectory for the Co. going forward. More options ahead one assumes?

JAdam, was saying it only in jest. Anyway, I think you will singlehandedly drive the price up from now onwards.

JAdam, don't let your omniscient ego get in the way of an overdue apology to smithy, I share his pain.

Please translate your last post from mumbo-jumbo,haven't the foggiest.

I must say that takes some doing to be unquestioningly positive after a circa 40 per cent drop.
Sure it will right itself , but time frame is likely to be a period longer than the next results. W e shall see.

Today's Times rubs our nose in it somewhat by quoting other Aim stocks in the Corona field where the SP has performed somewhat better -Avacta up 700 per cent since March, Genedrive a modest 1,500 per cent over the past six months, and Haydale up 51 per cent yesterday alone.
Recently Ygen has moved like the proverbial Italian tank- in reverse.
We are at the stage where LR has serious work to do to restore credibility of the company. Although delivering on pretty much most of the core-business targets within specified time-frames, after an initial spike following the corona plans in March, Mr Market has been fed a number of projects, but not supported by a single sum to indicate future projections.
With wonderful hindsight, it is no surprise the uncertainty has impacted the SP.
Just a few questions to contemplate:
is the number of directors top-heavy for a company of this size, and is some severe pruning overdue and merited?
Is it time to restate the Co. objectives if corona is to be a significant revenue generator going forward?
Just how many Coronas have we sold, who are we still in bed with, and can detailed future projections accompany the forthcoming results?
Will the Co. confirm if any nhs initial link has been a flop?
Where are we with the US- has the Co. passed through customs yet, with or without a mask, and are we selling yet?
Just how much has the cost base increased with recent recruiting and training?
Really, that's it for now, but much more yet unanswered.
Still remaining here, but a retrace upwards is sorely overdue.

What if...someone could explain what vaccine has got to do with this company in the slightest...the drivel rehashed here appears to be that once vaccine appears ( a massive if) then testing will fall off a cliff. Don't see that personally, but perhaps the leading virologist twix can fill me in as to what link I'm missing.
Otherwise, please cut the vaccine talk and come up with a credible theory as to why the SP drop continues and why I don't like this trend to be my friend. Thankyou.

Twix - Epidemiologist, virologist, vaccine hunter, statistician, inspirational share trader and good all round know-it-all, the Roy Castle of this board.
Vaccine connection with this Company is zero, so why discuss vaccines here? Sorry to disappoint but no wholly effective vaccine has ever been found for Covid- related viruses.
100 days since lockdown - when you going to see beyond the headlines and venture out from behind the security of your keyboard ?
I am certain we have a core product and market segment which is nowt to do with corona, hopefully where our greatest potential still lies.

Twix, perhaps it is me being simple, but what on earth you on about with vaccine? I suspect you've been following the scientist, only trouble is not sure which one.
Please, stop pontificating from on high, you beginning to sound as interesting as Han**** from the nhs.

MOSBOWGO - I gave up being an apologist for PF and his consistently under-achieving outfit years ago. Sadly, my holding here is well underwater and I remain here only for the comedy value of the RNSs and the positive gloss of holders here who continue to wait for that pot of gold to arrive.
Regrettably, it seems very unlikely it ever will.

Link with... a vending machine operator, pointless advertising campaign, redesign of the Co. Logo on the grounds of modernising, and an outright ban on the AGM on the grounds of...you guessed it, safety. Just a few red flags to be going on with.

If the SP goes much lower,the next RNS will b telling us "we know no material reason for the drop...."
Just beginning to wonder whether the Co. has been spinning too many plates at once. LR will soon need to pull one oversized rabbit out of the hat in order to turn sentiment around. Not to mention the SP.
Keeping the faith.
