I was wrong when I quoted the operational update. He did say the water ingress fitted hurricane's perched water model. NB everyone on this forum needs to be more polite to one another. We are not adversaries. It should be a polite exchange of views.
The RNS says they don't know cause of water or whether there will be more in future. So all posts here that it is not from an aquifer are just optimistic speculation
Itm great partners element energy and orsted. Itm now definitely leading green hydrogen firm in UK and good political support
I think the chloroquine, the Gilead drug, and the Fujifilm drug sound the most promising. Want to know more about the Cuban interferon Vs our interferon, and the recent "successful" Chinese trials of the patented Cuban interferon.
None of the divisive talk of rampers and derampers. That's like being at the circus with your kids where he gets one side to shout apples, the other bananas, and affects to judge which can shout loudest. We should all be seekers after truth, and after a cure for covid - from whichever direction.
Aha, Biopesticides company Eden Research announced on Wednesday that its foliar biofungicide product 'Mevalone', branded '3LOGY' in Italy and 'Araw' in Spain, has received certification for use in organic farming. RNS'd at 10:03 today. Good, organic wines are a growing market and it enjoys a good price premium over other wines. Those are both big markets for organic wines and now they have something to treat their botrytis with
also don't forget invermectrin , already licensed for sale in the UK for scabies although it seems to be something that is available to order and not routinely available in all chemists en masse..a lot of press over the weekend said that information has been found to be very efficacious...I don't actually care which of these drugs works but I hope that they can deploy them quickly and wonder why they can't do a trial of a couple of thousand people at a time rather than 100... Something that's already licensed as safe like chloroquine, that has been non prescription in Britain for 90 years, I wouldn't have thought there was a lot of risk. If you are going to Nicaragua or belize, you just go buy some chloroquine, read the label and take it anyway ...you don't need to see your doctor or get a prescription
I used to live on one of a weird collection of state smallholdings called the land settlement association. Local collections of smallholdings on estates across the UK. You rented them. The local administration was good but the enormous Achilles heel was that the tenancy agreement required you to sell everything through the LSA's state marketing board at Cromwell Road, Fulham. You just can't imagine how bad they were. I think that's the case with large monolithic state medicine too. That's why they won't approve chloroquine, always a safe non prescription med in UK you just buy and take if you are going to Nicaragua or Belize, for Covid until they have spent months doing their trials on a lucky few. Same with the other meds Avigan, Favipravir, Remdesivir, and now the two variants of interferon, including the one the Cubans and Chinese are feting. Scientists are going through a back catalogue of tens of thousands of meds to quickly find some that might work. Anyway it will be great to hear any results out of S'oton re : Faron, but I bet nothing said for months now. Ironically the Chinese dictatorship's health system can probably adopt new stuff far quicker than any western health system. And private medicine is irrelevant for this sort of thing, BUPA already told me my cover doesn't cover private COVID treatment under them, except maybe some recuperation after and they are vague and utterly non committal even about that.
No, you wouldn't want anything "fast tracked". We have read amazing things about Fujifilm's Avigan (reduces covid from 11 days to 4, prevents most ICU admissions?), Chloroquine (based on one shallow trial), Favipravir, and a different interferon formulation from Cuba, a later variant of it, Alpha-2B Recombinant (IFNrec), plus remdesivir. They can't rush to deploy them wildly without proper controlled trials that take time, or they NEVER know what actually works. That's what went wrong with experimental Ebola treatments the first time around : see https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-05/covid-19-treating-patients-finding-cure-chloroquine-remdesivir
https://www.newsweek.com/cuba-drug-fight-coronavirus-us-sanctions-1493872 is about more advanced Interferon Alpha-2B Recombinant (IFNrec) for covid, as are other stories like https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-03-31/Cuba-s-Interferon-alfa-2b-works-in-treating-COVID-19-in-China-PjAQ7w7I9W/index.html.
It would be nice if the S'oton trials went well for Faron, delightful actually, but sounds like a long shot and they haven't advanced (brought forward) use of Avigan (Japan has 2m doses and it's easy to mass produce), Chloroquine (already licensed in UK and it's so safe it's not even something you need a prescription for), or remdesivir, in spite of all the frothy reports; state level medicine advances very slowly and with great caution, even during a crisis.
It would be good if posts here could be about the share and the firm, rather than posters abusing each other, "you're short, your comments are biased", "you're long, ditto" etc. It's a total waste of bandwidth.
I don't know why we need be too vexed about a seller. The share price today, to a holder, doesn't matter unless he needs to sell. I feel reasonably confident in jog, production is still some way off so it is almost where hur was when Hur jumped from 22p to 38p. If you look at my past posts on Hur I started being down on it (and sold mine) when it was about 50p (because a contact who advises a few large investors in oil and gas told me of some likely issues in production out of that formation, though I conveyed only the info and not its source; he was right). I have had no such warnings about jog so far. Jog needs to get nearer production for a big lift in SP, because AIM is short term, but if a rise in POO is sustained, that could give another independent source of lift. Meantime if someone sells, we should exhibit no ill will. There's also a seller of Eddie stobart, and people are frantic on the boards, but unless you need to sell right now - who cares ? If fundamentals are ok (which with jog they seem to be), the depressed price should by and by be countered by buying and the "correct" equilibrium price for the level of risk should once again obtain.
https://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/regional/andover/18354750.basingstokes-super-fast-covid-test-set-rolled-across-uk/ this sounds like the real game changer. Instant accurate test no transport needed result in 5 minutes no fancy machine needed and doesn't rely on the scarce reagents that are so bedevilling the tests like novacyt's that the NHS is using. Novacyt needs to buy into Basingstoke's test and back the best horse.
I think eurofins are one of the partners making novacyt's tests for them, and today's news is that eurofins' covid tests arriving in the UK have just been found to be unusable due to some components being polluted with covid 19 so they need trashing. You really don't want to be swabbing that up your hooter, or to have false positives as a result. Awful, hope they sort it.
https://data.bloomberglp.com/professional/sites/24/BNEF-Hydrogen-Economy-Outlook-Key-Messages-30-Mar-2020.pdf nice boost for clean electrolysed hydrogen. It has good political support now, I'm very aware of that.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/mar/27/more-than-4000-north-sea-oil-rigs-workers-lose-job-amid-covid-19-crisis oh dear, whole North sea sector groaning under this crisis, many impacts
Yesterday's increase in UK cases per day was over 3000. Today 165. Brilliant. Soon over the peak. And vaccine possible by September if 800 volunteers come forward to have it then be exposed to covid. Soon this will all be a memory
The virus doesn't respond well to strict procedures, as a large number of cruise ship passengers can attest
