The share price reaction here really does blow my mind sometimes.
The tender explicitly states they are now pivoting to mass population testing.
They are spend 2.5m on a scoping exercise for this, to run BAMs through paces....
We know bams ‘works’ as being used for research already and high sensitive...
It’s through P1 stage so government know that too...
Literally could be like the NCYT PCR contracts in terms of value (coming our way) and literally zero reaction on the sp.
Madness!
Testing for Coronavirus is a crucial part of the government’s response to the pandemic. The national Covid-19 testing strategy has pivoted toward mass population testing. To achieve this ambition a concerted effort to mobilise a range of viable testing solutions is needed. Following a feasibility study (‘P1’), the initiation of targeted pilot studies are proposed as the next step in mobilising mass spectrometry for Covid-19 testing. This PIN is for a market engagement event to understand the capacity and capability of the market for goods and services that DHSC envisions may be required under the next phases of the pilot (P2 and P3).

YES!! Fauci talking to @CuomoPrimeTime about Rapid Tests.
Fauci: “I would be pushing for... a home test... you can do yourself... don’t even require a prescription”
Cuomo: How do you do that?
Fauci: “Well you just do it... Let’s stop thinking about it and let’s just do it!”

Significant. And you know Biden will be on board with this. If we can get a workable, reliable test recipe for production in the USA, we will be golden.
