Come on Pigster, catch up. We all get our news from West Hawaii Today, they're far superior to East Hawaii Today

Yup, we're now looking at a genuine 2nd wave that's related to mutations rather than just winter turning up. It's all about breaking transmission chains and I still maintain the best way to do it is project moonshot. We need our sh.ts monitoring. We need regular mass screening. We need proper tracing and further testing. All alongside global vaccine programmes that need to be rolled out faster than the spread - that can't be achieved right now. Given the ongoing circulation we then also need the testing at the border to try and keep it contained.

Sod it, shut the border, get the army to deliver food rations and properly and fully lockdown the country for a month.

As always a long way to go, but there's nothing to grumble about more cash in the coffers and further validation of the potential. Don't worry, by 20251 you'll be excited

I see Captain Obvious is back boring us to death... and now he's branched out in to linguistics. I'm pretty sure that Suzie Dent in dictionary corner would disagree with your stupid assertion that investing is the same as gambling.

gamble
/'gamb(?)l/
1. play games of chance for money; bet.
"he gambles on football"

invest
/?n'v?st/
1. put (money) into financial schemes, shares, property, or a commercial venture with the expectation of achieving a profit.

There's a key difference - expectation. Based on research I expect to make a very large profit on my investment here. Some will have done little research and will be gambling - my punt in RMS puts me in that category, but that's all a bit obvious isn't it, captain boring obvious?

The army will be helping with the vaccine rollout. There would have been more related to testing in the news if the schools had gone back. The good news is that by the time they go back (April?), there'll hopefully be boxes with Awacta on the side rather than Innova.

Why can't you click reply?

They're still confirming but it looks like the South African strain is problematic

I'd hope that Awacta have managed to get their lab paws on it and are in the process of brewing up some new affimers right now. Being able to announce that you have an LFD that's capable of identifying all strains would be a huge immediate market advantage on top of any performance improvements thanks to affimers. We'd also need a much much much bigger boat as we'd definitely have the world queuing up. An RNS confirming this would be huge as it's certainly an issue that will need to be overcome at some stage no matter what - the virus will continue to mutate and demonstrating the test can be easily adapted is an advantage.

The price is actually up today

Fair enough Cheng, sensible stuff. I’ve still got my ISA stuffed full of these bad boys, but I’m now trying to resist adding more back in here from any cheeky side punts that come good. My plan for 2021 is to be more nimble and have cash to trade opportunities and gradually transition across to some recovery plays

Is he licensing affimers as well? Seems like everyone is interested

It’s not a drop cheng, it closed at 132. 140 was the wild UT. Are you back fully loaded now btw?

More BS Wolves, that’s not like you... I’ve been critical when Awacta have flung out pointless waffly RNSs that are designed to try and cover up delays and issues. That’s not happening currently, these are genuine lucrative commercial deals involving multiple companies that validate the various IP platforms that Awacta own. It’s fantastic news and further underpins the current share price regardless of Covid. If they keep firing out these deals WaffAl will have proved his point that the oncology side of the business will massively overshadow any short term Covid opportunity. I’m very impressed and it’s another great day to be a shareholder.

Broker, US based global company, must have been impressed to invest and support the commercialisation. Nice.

There’s a typo in the report. It’s 53% from 2019 which was a much lower base.

Smashed all records macca. In tea leaves news, what happened to the mighty doom cross of certain death that we were supposed to have succumbed to?

Exactly right, the emphasis has been on how many infections are missed as measured against a PCR test that can count those that aren’t infectious as positive. What should be highlighted is how many have been found via LFD and successfully managed to isolate before spreading it.

I can guess what you were clearing from your pink eyes CS

Strong evidence eh massive’anker? A (tragically now sacked) work experience kid posted what might have very well just been a joke. Bottom line is your tinpot manufacturing company aren’t making any pointless antibody tests so they might as well do something useful and produce a real game changer. Suck it up... the chances are you’ve got it completely wrong.

Agreed, but I also don’t think there’s ever been a risk of reputational damage. WaffAl has always been aware of the performance levels needed and that’s why the dribble test never saw the light of day and I wouldn’t be surprised if it never does. The same might yet be true of the AN version, there’s no reputational damage in walking away - Sequoia Flooring invested for the oncology. Ultimately, he’s played a blinder, the worse case is it gets shelved and they’re sat on a cracking cash pile for oncology.

More realistically, BAMS will come through and be a part of an ongoing national strategy due to the lower costs, the AN test should outperform others due to the wonder of affimers and it’s then purely down to manufacturing capacity to find out how much of a cash cow it becomes. Who knows, rather than awaiting a takeover, Awacta end up on the acquisition trail.

It’s common sense, the vaccines aren’t 100% effective and the new variant has an r rate 0.6 higher than the previous. It hovered about 0.3 in the summer last year so it’s going to linger strongly this summer. Then the winter will turn up and off we go again. All assuming that the South African variant doesn’t get a grip and we need a new vaccine that will punt us back 3 months. They need moonshot to get on top of it and get it under control, they’ll be lucky to get vaccines out to those that need them never mind the rest in 6 months.

The spread is exponential, so if they’re not vaccinating at a faster rate then they won’t get on top of it. That’s 60000 a day and counting. Wonder how long immunity lasts...

Test, test, test
