A Q I asked months ago was something like: does British certification allow international sales? The answer was along the lines of: only for tin pot countries; proper nations will require their own authorisations.
So, why have we only been told about the application to the MHRA? Have we applied to the EU and US etc.? Surely they wouldn't be messing us around for political reasons, e.g. Indian variant, Innova stockpiling, vaccine silver-bulletry etc.
Working test. SP rise.
CE marking in. SP rise to lovely stable level.
Sales. Surely a given.
Manufacturing levels (e.g. TT status for BBI et.al.) uncertain. This is what will affect the SP. But, in your opinions/understanding, how much manufacturing from day 1 is currently priced in?

If you can't be bothered, in a sentence: people are only infectious for hours to a couple of days.
This should totally inform governmental policy.
It could just be that they fingers-crossed hoped as many as say 20 people would rock up, although they'd brought say 100, just in case. But they'd used them all before close of play. I'd be chuffed if that were the case.
I expect, although it might be worth confirming, the protocol would have been:
Punter turns up, details taken, sat down and given kit and told to get on with it. At the end fill out a form, mostly to find out how they found it. Get the out the door - the potential spreader what they are.
In the event the wrong number of lines appears, send them a message telling them that the results were indicative of them having it (what with it not being CE marked, yet) and that they should go and get a test.
There won't be any on-site checking of positive results, so this won't be getting s/s data. In the event that they test positive and then get PCR'd I'd bet there'd be no way of back-checking it. GDPR and all that.
About the only thing they'll be doing is getting that magic, how did it go data. And you can be sure they won't be revealing that until the end. The only thing I suspect you might get out of the is, as I said earlier, how many bodies have they got through the door. Someone more researched than me probably knows how many bodies they need. But ultimately, the fact that they ran out of tests suggests that however many they need, they got that many.
All I'm looking for is whether there will be any delays to that super-magical target of a CE mark for home use. Not some cobbled UK re-branding like they did with Innova, a proper one that actually means something.
