MrA, I agree. It also states that fewer steps are beneficial and not needing a timer is a good idea. I’m not sure where having to make adjustments to what and when you eat and timing this activity fits in to their desires. It’s a shambolic mess, but what’s new? Given the tests that are in the market currently and the majority of nations globally seem perfectly happy with nasal swabbing of some sort, an AN test is the best there is. Add in the neat solution we have for disposal and most importantly of all the excellent performance, I consider our test to be the best available and that’s without too much bias. The bias that confirms it is that the logo will look cool on the box, that’s makes it the best in the world.

No, they’ll be exempt via the new legislation so they can keep the brown envelopes flowing

Also impacting children. Hope the govt are proud.

Sleepy, reads to me that it’s for private companies using tests for track and trace, exempting quarantine etc. It’s the equivalent of the current list of PCR test providers for travel, but within guided standards so that if you’re not approved you can’t be used for any official testing purpose

Any chance you could tell Robbo’s mate so that we can find out?

Innova and Surescreen highlighted as high concern in multiple studies….

Might yet be, given their desired criteria. Picture the scene at airports.. shoes off, belt off, laptop in separate tray, wipe your backside. Maybe that’s where the sniffer dogs get involved

I can’t see desired being met in full by any test, if you try and tick every box you’re basically using magic

*if the govt aren’t using it

Yeah, I think that explains the extension to end of August, the next day they drop the EUA and let them sell under this legislation even though they’ve never established the performance of the test that’s in NHS boxes. Putting it all together it’s looking like innova until end of August and then a free market when the strongest should survive. If they’re still using frozen pigs then it’s time for the best of British to rule the waves around the world and forget the U.K.

Not sure what the govt equipment is for at this point, if the govt are using it, all good as we can take the top end of the range for private sales instead of the govt. All the above also explains the ongoing delays and frustration at the slow, ongoing dialogue. They’re constantly shifting the goal posts, this is just the latest. None of it makes any sense though. PresAl in the MHRA RNS suggested we’d support the U.K. and they’ve tested for the SA variant via PD so do they recognise the excellent performance or not.

I’d call it confirmation of old news. It’s following their consultation. They’re introducing standards so that people can rely on the validation figures to have confidence that the tests they’re using will perform well. Ironic, given the EUA extension to Innova as their performance figures are based on symptomatic NP testing.

Craig, the govts are planning on paying bottom dollar, price was their first consideration in the tender (in front of performance!). If they were planning on paying a fiver and the market turns private and opens up then businesses might take a different view. At that stage performance versus price is key. Would you pay a couple more quid for a test that can help you ensure that no one will be infectious. If so, every single quid adds multiples to the profit margins. That £1.50 profit can easily become £4 at £7.50, £6.50 at a tenner. Who knows how much they’ll go for, but if we’re selling everything we make then the higher margin the better.

As the separate debate, I can’t see there being a gradual switch over if we’re to usurp innova due to the different sampling / IFU. It’d be a confusing mess. That’s doesn’t change the volume sold, they’ll just stockpile ours whilst the other dwindles then launch.

TTT. Tag team twats. No idea why people continue to entertain them. I keep saying it, yet people keep falling for it. Classic sea lion stuff.

NDN is Matt Handjob? Explains why he thinks he knows everything that’s going on but is actually an utter gormless fool

As expected…

Thanks Bella, I hadn’t seen that before. A good paper. Walking testicle Deeks should give it a read.

Plenty use cases here across the globe for a test as good as ours….

Test to protect – e.g. regular testing of high-risk settings – care homes, prisons, hospices, meat plants or making the workplace a safer environment as is normal with any health and safety protection.
Test to release – to reduce harms from unnecessary quarantine, e.g. of asymptomatic contacts, critical workers, international travellers etc.
Test to enable – to allow a safer return to restricted activities, e.g. playing sport, visiting a care home, attending school, attending a funeral/wedding etc. Covid free bubbles could be created by vaccinated friends / family with regular rapid testing.
Test to contain – to offer targeted testing to low risk contacts in an outbreak cluster, e.g. the primary high-risk contacts may be screened by PCR testing, but the low-risk contacts e.g. entire company / school / village may be screened by rapid testing. This has the potential to find cases early, reduce onward transmission in the community and has been successfully deployed in other countries, e.g. Belgium.

Clip clop clip clop…. The mighty lord of insane paranoia is back on the wrong meds, bless him. Still clueless when it comes to timelines, he must use a Presalian calendar. The last RNS said that the registration in the EU was the last key step before commercialisation. Therefore, next up are sales. They haven’t happened yet, but who cares as they will happen and they’ll be transformational. Meanwhile weirdos like the baby beta and the sea lion will haunt the board with the occasional mounted visit from the almighty lord who still hasn’t grasped it.

We’ve absolutely no idea what is going on behind the scenes. Toyota might have misplaced their number 7 spanner and the installation of machines and TT is taking longer than anticipated. If they haven’t got the volume to replace the misused test, then they’ll extend it. It’s Matt Handjob giving permission to Matt Handjob so if that what they want to do, it’ll happen and in the absence of an alternative it’s most likely. That doesn’t mean that contracts have been inked to eventually replace it, it just means more waiting around for the govt to sort themselves out. Otherwise, deals are being negotiated worth multi millions. It’s been a matter of days since the approval. Not a dig at you E&F, but the insistence of some shareholders on here dragging themselves in to gloom is a bit weird, we’re at the previous level when we didn’t even have a test - it’s crazy. Sentiment will swing violently once the first contract lands.

It’s fit for purpose in the absence of a better alternative. Regular testing with a crap test is better than nothing. That’s Mina’s argument. What’s even better is regular testing with an excellent test
