Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
My understanding is that Parsortix was a company from Philidelphia which is where it all began.

Shane Booth was parsortix CEO

My view of key message "...active discussions with the DHSC to extend this phase of the contract. Novacyt's PROmate™, a new product to improve the workflow efficiency when used with the Company's q16/q32 instruments successfully completed an in-service validation conducted by Test and Trace's Technology Validation Group (TVG), with the TVG concluding the performance of the PROmate™ aligns with the acceptable standard for point-of-care (rapid testing)."
@whatdo1know - There is a great PR story that Parsortix is an American invention that has been taken up and exploited by the Brits, rather than the other way round. Is this a first in the scientific field? The Brits are coming?
****
What do you mean about a PR story? Parsortix did originate in Philidelphia. Angles Shane Booth was put into the company to lead the project.

My dad also died and 91 and I recognise old people die and not everyone can live forever. We cannot remove all risks from life otherwise it would be very boring.
It's a spit test. Wonder how many other areas will mass test or will Government implement it And which supplier will they chose

Looking to the future
My father dies at almost 92 and had covid positive 3 weeks before he died and 2 negative, one being the day before he died when they said he had hours to live. His X-rays from 2017 showed his lungs were failing and has had pneumonia a number of times. BUT they put Covid as primary cause and COPD and frailty as secondary. He was going to die anyway, he even said so himself last year. The numbers are being fudged. I think Government will ease lockdown ahead of a Christmas period, say Mid Nov and reinstate after teh New Year if necessary. All to maintain the economy. But I would Unlock now and care for elderly and vulnerable. Marston depending upon the lock and unlock dates should be well placed to take advantage based upon my local setting.
This was from early August - Deaths from Covid. Before the changed teh reporting policies. Think about where teh risk is. Government needs to get a grip. More positive tests do not equate to more deaths.
When Governments around the world realise the low risk compared to the risk of lockdown, the world will start turning again.
