We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
If you can't be bothered, skip to #5
1. MPs attempt to reverse foreign aid cuts - if you click the link there is NO reference to corona or covid and this is #1?!?
2. Covid vaccine badges for UK online daters - "daters being able to choose to display a badge on their profiles to show if they have had the jab or are supportive of it" more like "I've had a little prick, do you want to meet-up?"
3. Socially-distanced Bafta Awards honour Michaela Coel - very relevant to covid
4. How do you create 'Covid-free' travel destinations? - finally something to do with covid
5. 'My foggy glasses solution helped me through Covid' - this one is my favourite: some bloke has invented a clip to hold down your mask so you don't get condensation on your glasses. Some bloke who is getting loads of free advertising and will no doubt make a small fortune with all the orders he's about to get. For something that will save lives? Nope.
Why does the release of the world's most accurate, easiest, most convenient AN covid test not make their list?
You misread, us stupid types don't know about the smart people who have already sold. Its too late. We're doomed. Dooooooomed I tell you.
Although, I think you are right. I also think he suggested that we should sell on Monday. As soon as we could.
If you look at the other manufacturers who have multiple tests there is only one date. I'll bet their "Multiple peritonitis marker IVD kit immunochromatographic test (ICT) rapid " was registered on 26/11/2019 and t'other test is rather more current.
I'll admit to lazy language. My statement did indeed imply that it isn't transmitted via surfaces, full stop. It can. Probably. Possibly? The evidence is very poor to say for sure that it can and how likely it is to be transmitted that way. Virus on surfaces has been long shown to be a thing. Getting those viruses into where it can infect is postulated. Maybe through the eyes, nose and/or mouth, but we're not sure. So best use the precautionary principal. Yes I agree. But are we going too far, as the article suggests? Since we're trying to get back to normal life shouldn't step one be removing the restrictions that are least likely to lead to infection first? Should we be stopping the 'deep cleaning' before stopping face masks first to see if it makes any difference?
Early in 2020 there was this new virus which we knew little about. We thought we'd try to contain it as we do with other respiratory viruses including good hand hygiene - which is important for flu etc. It turns out this, most probably, covid transmission is pretty unlikely via surfaces, but health experts are keeping up the 'good hand hygiene' story as hopefully when all this is over people will continue to wash their hands regularly as it is now just routine and that will have a very long lasting health benefit to society - colds and flus are well down over the last year and could be a maintained fall into the future.
No sarcasm.
In case you can't be bothered to read it, the conclusion: "It’s people, not surfaces, that should be the main cause for concern"

My take: someone contacted Abakta and asked for a comment based on Sticky's rumour. They banged out an RNS stating that neither they nor Mologic had received ought from the MHRA - true. Then over the long weekend they did some digging and found out the real truth, hence the new RNS.
Einstein never said that.
Comforting conclusion of the day, for me... as someone said, if they've got all these orders just waiting for the CE mark to process, then you can be sure as damn it that the machines are rolling. The delay in the paperwork won't affect how many we'll sell, it'll just mean we can fulfill a larger initial order than we'd have done if we'd got our CE by now. And it'll feel like a shorter wait for TT to all the other manufacturers too.
Hmmm. I don't seem to remember you ever mentioning Yorkshire tea. Must have missed that one.
It is a really good one, though. I'd use it again and again, if I were you. People will no doubt love it.
