You forgot iPhoneiTrade...

It's a sign of confidence in the future.

"Well tonight I will certainly want to know why MHRA is taking so long!"

And just how long were you expecting it to take?

"Quite a neutral update."

I didn't expect anything else. It's a good, solid performance - given the period it covers - and it outlines the future potential.

I'm happy with this, although I do hope more is said about expansion plans later. If enough bedwetters dump their holdings later in a fit of pique and panic I may have a sneaky top up.

Another troll for the green bin.

Morning happy bunnies!

The sun is shining, the coffee is strong and my alarm is set for 4.30 pm. Looks like today is going to be a good day.

"Need a WHO update re Mologic"

What update are you expecting? In relation to which Mologic test?

*nonsense

"Colin will need to present some good news because the last presentation he did was a shorters gift. He's certainly not going to ever make a living as a post diner motivational speaker is he."

He's there to present data and facts - not to provide a motivational speech.

If I want showmanship, empty words and motivational nonses, I'll watch an Avacta presentation...

"I have read that the antibodies work with T cells which can still give immunity after the antibodies can’t be detected anymore"

Ah - the infamous 'T cells'...

I can recommend the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine's primer on T cells and Covid: https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/what-is-the-role-of-t-cells-in-covid-19-infection-why-immunity-is-about-more-than-antibodies/

It's not as straightforward as some social media commentators might suggest.

"How does this dial into ODX ?
So people will have immunity but not necessarily antibodies. And people who have had covid, may eventually have neither antibodies NOR immunity. Given the above, Am I right that a negative antibody test doesn't tell you ANYTHING about the person. They may have no antibodies but be immune, or have no antibodies and not be immune ?"

It dials into ODX as there will need to be longitudinal studies to confirm how long antibodies last in various cohorts. For example, there may be differences between naturally induced and vaccine induced antibodies. There may also be differences in antibody longevity between various vaccines.

We need to treat any claims around longevity with a certain level of caution, given that we are in the early stages of understanding this particular virus - and that the range of tests being used to measure antibodies at the moment are of varying quality internationally.

“ No no no. You do not understand how immunity works. The body does not continually produce antibodies if there is no virus in the body, its a complete waste of energy. Lymphocytes in the body retain the 'knolwedge' for want of a better word, allowing them to start producing the entibodies if the virus enters the body again. Lack of antibodies DOES NOT mean lack of immunity.”

But you also have to take into account that active immunity is not always long-lasting, or lifelong.

Better still, you could stick to posting your drivel on ADVFN where it fits in so well...

Another one for the green bin.

“ Just likevbheg ssidvfir aids. Poor old rock Hudson.

"The scottish govt are looking at new testing technologies including this one. The purpose, assuming validated, is to test specific asymtomatic groups currently being decided. Likely to be visitors to care homes being one group, it will therefore be free to these groups."

Problem is, it only just meets the MHRA requirements and is professional POC use only. It's an expensive way of doing what an LFT can do quickly and cheaply.

"I Wonder who’s kit Boots will be using, for results in 12mins ??? Anyone know?
They are milking it some at prices stated."

It's the Lumira DX kit. It's a swab antigen test with a specialised reader.

Once a self-use or professional POC LFT comes along, the LumiraDX will be old tech...

Not sure where you got 30 July from.

The self-test usability study wasn't completed until 6 September and the University of Ulster report was submitted to MHRA at the beginning of October.

Your thread title is misleading. This is not NHS mask wastage - it's the DHSC buying the wrong type of masks in a corrupt deal...

"In that case Lyndhurst, it's a blessed relief that we're not on AIM

PMSL"

And the lira hasn't been an active currency since 1 January 2002...

"ODX to hit £1.20 today"

Early indications suggest we'll open down on Friday's close...
