Certainly a delightful and simpler backwater in many ways - as someone who has ancestry based there going back 250 years plus I have to agree with you crumbs, or should I say 'duck.'
It will be a strange coincidence if the blight of the coronavirus is the making of Scancell, whereas for so many businesses it could well be the kiss of death due to delays and such like. I have never seen Scancell's name across so many areas of the media and for such a relatively sustained period, from China Daily through Sky News and down to the Nottingham Daily Bugle. Also fascinating to see the dots joined up again between Scancell and the Karolinska Institute. Nice little web of interaction still happily going on.

Lindy should find devising a coronavitus vaccine a piece of cake after finding intelligent life in Keele.

He's well worth following - common sense and impartial.

Such a company could conceivably go it alone if it had to, and emerge as a very powerful entity in its own right. Everything does seem to be pointing towards stuff that Scancell is extremely conversant with.

And the Khe Sanh approaches into EGNR. They were enormous fun, but I suspect ATC had a sense of humour failure on occasion.

He's a great bloke but don't tell him I said so. Just ask him about his relationship with Tarquin, and who stole all the bread.

...or his duties. I've worked with Dave Jones that was at PAS. I know what goes on...

Make sure you switch the autopilot on first Bunsie. Or brief the trolley dolly on her duties.

6.40/6.50.

6.20-6.60....! Hey ho!

Here's a theory to go to bed on - we all know that an RNS can come out on a Monday and by Wednesday afternoon all the excitement is forgotten and posters are wandering round muttering 'funding' and 'what's next?' So here's a hypothetical and slightly metaphorical scenario - If, and I mean IF Covidity works as the sincere here hope it does, that is excellent. Then the industry cannot fail to see that Covidity is definitively SCIB1 but with a different target for exactly the same science, with its clinical results from Phase 1/2 sitting in plain sight. That could be the biggest transformational long-term boost we have ever had, and that really would be a 'hang on to your hats' moment imo. What greater validation for the platform as a whole could be approaching in a matter of weeks from now? And how would that look when the SCIB1/Keytruda trial starts off? And all due to the cancer trial being put on hold due to a corona virus that has now given (all being well) SCLP the opportunity to showcase the true extent of LD's genius.
Just a happy thought (and not entirely unrealistic imo) to go to sleep on for this Sunday evening.

As Zebedee said, 'time for bed' as it were - let's wait and see what the morning brings, as we are probably all aware of the serious permutations possible and the rest is dangerous guesswork. Good luck all genuine LTHs for tomorrow and beyond. I wonder how many have kept their powder dry and their cash in the biscuit tin under the bed ahead of such an interesting twist as we have seen hinted at today? Alarm set for 06.59...

Knowing my luck the developments to combat coronavirus will cause a huge and maintained surge in scancell's share price and make me a multi millionaire, and I will then turn out to be the only one the vaccine doesn't work on and I'll kick the bucket. Still, it would be a hell of a wake!

Thanks for that Ray! Anyway the Mirror article say 'EXCLUSIVE by Geraldine McKelvie, Investigations Editor.' I don't know how exclusive 'exclusive' is when it is in the Sunday Times as well, but I'm not bothered about two papers running a good story like Scancell's. She is on LinkedIn too - https://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldine-mckelvie-b3960236/?originalSubdomain=uk

Thanks Bermuda - busy morning and peering in and out of the bb by phone so missed the Times extract, just saw a couple of posts querying it who had obviously missed it too. I diverted to the newsagents to buy a sunday mirror, and obviously wore a face mask. Not for protection, just so nobody would see me buying the mirror....
Excellent features in both anyway. Forget the sizzle, some are going to have to accommodate a good portion of sausage it seems.

The times has a paywall but they do have the start of an article about corona vaccine. Anyone bought a copy or paid to subscribe?

Sorry LL - I don't 'do' twitter as such, I just have the Scancell twitter page open to look at now and again. Interestingly the number of followers has gone from the low 200s a few months ago up to somewhere in the 570s now, so hardly staggering but somewhere there is greater interest! Twitter is a mystery to me - every time I try to get into any thread it seems to go off at crazy angles so will have to observe from the sidelines.

Interesting to take a slightly broader view and consider what might be going on out of sight. After all, Covidity shows all the hallmarks of an innovative platform with credibility and great potential, and we are now talking at worst of a raise from a position of strength, or better still a successful application for non dilutive funding from elsewhere on potential of this rapidly evolved platform. Both scenarios are possible from the TD report. Yet it was so recently we were asked with determined pessimism by a would be expert 'why would an early stage oncology company be impacted by money flowing into Covid?'
I think the moral here is to remain aware that scancell may frustrate at times financially, but scientifically it retains great capacity to surprise and imo they are very busy in both those areas. We shall see.

Obviously my computer - they're back. Hey ho!
