Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Meeting happened. Fact.
It is real. Fact.
Seasons Greetings to all fellow Lth, AS, and the bod. To the Lth "I salute you" (and me), as despite the best attempts of many, we are about to start reaping the benefit of our faith. I look forward to a prosperous 2022. Gla
Reported and another for the green box.
Thanks for posting AgentB. A well worthwhile exercise. Took me just over 5 minutes.

"A previous version of the Avacta test, which relied on saliva rather than nasal swabs, did not pass testing by Porton Down last month. However, the latest updated version has shown excellent preliminary results and is currently being assessed."
Yes, great news again (as I thought before) and looks like we'll have a saliva version also ??
Again, this direct line to a source must be "hot" .
That's not how I read " one version ......."
Just beat you to it CautiousOptimist. Perhaps there is a saliva version and a swab version? One ok, one reworked and final testing now. Yes, must be busy working on things.
Pasted below the update, interesting read. I still remain ecstatic but from having passed Porton Down ONE version(? implies 2?, saliva and swab?) Is being worked on:
UPDATE: A spokesperson for the DHSC said: “With up to a third of individuals with COVID-19 not displaying symptoms, broadening asymptomatic testing is essential to breaking the chains of transmission.
“All lateral flow tests used by the UK government go through a rigorous evaluation process by the country’s leading scientists which means they are accurate, reliable and successfully identify those with COVID-19 who could pass on the virus without realising.”
One version of the Avacta test did not pass testing by Porton Down last month but an updated version is being worked on.
And I posted it on the first of 3 threads on the 16th.
This is a great read, especially for any newbies! For the rest of us nothing new, but some great simple explanations of what Avacta do.

Does today's s/s meet the criteria for the TU?
"The Company looks forward to providing the market with a detailed business update later this month once definitive clinical data from the lateral flow test evaluation is available."
We may have to wait for the larger sample. Thoughts?
G-man I'm afraid it uses antibodies.
Interesting article which includes commentary detailing the increasing price for graphite. Not long to go now, just a little more patience :-)

"We have created an indigenous industry to manufacture lft's."
Nothing to suggest it's anything new, looks like their antibody test. Recent picture 4 days ago on Medusa 19 linked in page indicates professional use only.
Good balanced post from BBN link below. I continue to wait patiently as many of us do . Gla

Muck; rest from Telegraph:-
By identifying those who have Covid, and in particular asymptomatic “silent spreaders,” and telling them to self-isolate, ministers hope the chain of transmission could be broken and infection rates could be quickly brought down.
One senior Government source said: “We are currently concentrating testing around critical workers and we are some way off looking at whether restrictions can be lifted. But when decisions are made about lifting restrictions we will look again at whether there would be a further role for mass testing on a wider scale.”
Boris Johnson is under increasing pressure from his own backbenchers to explain his exit strategy from the current lockdown, having said it is still too early to say when restrictions will be lifted.
Senior Tory MPs have suggested most measures should be eased as soon as the elderly and most vulnerable have been vaccinated, which is on course to happen by mid-February.
