Soz, I can’t help it, if only Sir Al could develop some therapeutic affimers to help me

That question isn’t straight enough for me. Why didn’t the BoD use their 20/20 hindsight to drop tools on everything else and immediately announce a coronavirus therapeutic affimer development programme the same second someone chowed down on that ropey bat?

There’s a fair chance, we’ve not got a great track record in Coronavirus vaccines. We need them now, but we won’t need millions of tests forever. We’ll need to maintain a good stock pile to quickly stamp out future outbreaks once it’s under control

Ha! Little stirrer... If you're referring to the questions that were posted I think they're pretty ignorant and irrelevant. Not a happy BB over there due to the Roche news. There's no need for them to be lashing out at better prospects, they're better off moving their cash over

Agreed, the fallout hasn’t begun. I’ll be looking our for bargain recovery plays once we’re on the road to recovery, but that’s a while away and by then the price here should be much much higher

Good luck timing the market, news of other partnerships and / or progress could land any day

Basically because a vaccine will take many months to develop and there is a pressing need for normality to avoid bigger health crises related to economic collapse, mental health and stalling other healthcare etc.

The clammer for testing means that even if you have the odd person circumventing the testing you'll still be a million steps forward from where we are now. Currently the only way out of this is simply, (avacta) test, (avacta) test, (avacta) test

He was saying you could get it again as it’ll mutate. Which is no problem for Avacta...

Worth saying it is for clinical settings and uses a nasal swab and the research suggests saliva is better

Calm down dear

Anyone?

Apologies if I’m exceptionally dumb. So, the virus turns up all spiky (we can test for that), it then infects cells and the spikes detach (we can test for that), after a period of time the body produces antibodies (step forward Roche et al).

After the antibodies are present, is the virus eventually eradicated completely or is it still there but with antibodies attached to the spikes? What happens as the body fights the disease? Basically what happens to the spikes that we can detect? If anyone has a decent link to help my understanding that would be fantastic.

The thought process is that even if we eventually establish that antibodies grant immunity, is there still value in continual antigen testing on patients as they recover to determine exactly when they’re safe to mix with the population again? That is, when they don’t have the virus present and they have antibodies?

Oh, go on then. Just topped up my top up outside my ISA but that’s me completely done. Don’t think my last £5k can compete with some of the other top ups we’ve seen, but every little helps.

Locked, loaded and fully relaxed. Looking forward to the substantial news flow. Good luck everyone, particularly Sir Al

Given the substantial news flow (Sir Al’s words, not mine), could today be your best chance for getting a bargain before a significant price leap?

I know people love hearing about it, so I’m pleased to say I’ve topped up. Finally got the rest of my ISA cash in the right place, great timing. I thought I’d be paying over 1.20 but got some at 1.08.

You’ll probably need continual antigen testing for determining immunity, luckily I’ve heard there’s a 10 minute saliva test being developed

Nice one, thanks!

It’d be a travesty if UK based Avacta didn’t strike a deal with a UK manufacturer (or plural) and all our incredible tests went elsewhere. I’m sure it won’t happen and I’m looking forward to hearing about the further partnerships Sir Al is currently brokering
