Yes Chester,
Multiple shots on goal with wider goalposts!
I think those that have suffered pain the last 8 years are in for some relief soon.

Chester,
A good piece thanks for posting.
Someone asked earlier the reason for the recent rise. I think it no coincidence that we only broke through 8p on 28th August - the day after Cliff’s proactive presentation. Many people will have watched. Those that did will have family, friends and colleagues. It takes up to a week for news to dissipate. Join the dots . . . .
Always worth getting the message out there IMO.

As the UK government looks for an exit strategy to the COVID-19 lockdown a nanomedicine expert from The University of Manchester believes a care model usually applied to cancer patients could provide a constructive way forward.

Kostas Kostarelos, is Professor of Nanomedicine at The University of Manchester and is leading the Nanomedicine Lab, which is part of the National Graphene Institute and the Manchester Cancer Research Centre.

The Manchester-based expert believes more scientific research should be employed as we transform how we view the COVID-19 pandemic, or any future virus outbreak, and deal with it more like a chronic disease - an ever present issue for humanity that needs systematic management if we are ever to return to our ‘normal’ lives.

Professor Kostarelos makes this claim in an academic thesis entitled 'Nanoscale nights of COVID-19' that offers a nanoscience response to the COVID-19 crisis and will be published on Monday, April 27, by the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

“As for any other chronic medical condition, COVID-19 stricken societies have families, jobs, businesses and other commitments. Therefore, our aim is to cure COVID-19 if possible,” says Professor Kostarelos.

“However, if no immediate cure is available, such as effective vaccination,” Professor Kostarelos suggests: “We need to manage the symptoms to improve the quality of patients’ lives by making sure our society can function as near as normal and simultaneously guarantee targeted protection of the ill and most vulnerable.”

Bob, I wondered that too!
We use the term vaccine generally to refer to something that prevents us getting a disease. But we use the term “cancer vaccine” as something to treat cancer, sometimes in very late stage. The method of action in both cases is the same - it helps the immune system fight the invader be it mutated cells or a virus.
So the only real difference is timing. Bare in mind, most people get mild (or no) symptoms and these really don’t need vaccinating so long as you could predict these in advance.
At the other end of the scale, some get pneumonia and severe respiratory distress so using the vaccine as a treatment may be too late.

GF,
As I just posted to WTP, my defence of Knowlesi (I haven’t a clue who SK is I think correct etiquette is to use the BB name) was that he wasn’t gloating over the SP falling.
NOT that any of his predictions were right and wrong. Let’s just drop it now.

WTP,
A good example of what I said about misunderstanding - I never said it’s ok to gloat, merely that it wasn’t gloating over the SP going down.

Morning C7,
I note everything you say and will endeavour to modify the inappropriate stuff. I bet you wished you had a pound every time I said that lol! Anyway, apologies for any offence.
As you know, I am passionate about fairness, justice and truth. And of course curing cancer.
ATB.

WTP,
Yes it is gloating, but gloating over being right about predicting the SP would fall not about the fact it had. Most of the arguments here are simply about the meaning of words and misunderstanding people’s intentions, as C7 says, let’s draw a line and move on from this. I think the best is yet to come.

Knowlesi,
We may disagree on specific points but I think most recognise justice or lack of it.
Let’s look to the future eh?
Hopefully holders will move back into profit over the next few months and they will be less techy.
I also hope those that recced ratty’s waste of bb space take a long hard look at themselves.

Ratty,
Could I also point out that by reposting Knowlesi’s posts without the ensuing arguments (for and against) you are doing the board a disservice. One of the statements was vehemently argued against by me but you have omitted to post this. I know, why don’t you let people go back and read the entire thread themselves, if they are interested (which I guess they won’t).

In the interests of the entire board, let’s summarise...
Knowlesi was accused of gloating over the SP falling.
No evidence of this was presented.
Case dismissed.

Ratty,
Did you trawl through all those old posts yourself or did Inan give you access to his archives?
It’s been such a good week, why not look to the future rather than dredge up the past?

C7,
I think all of us got the timeLines wrong. Seems like we’ve gone in a circle and the trajectory of 2012 is about to happen again. My first purchase was 11p, I was horrified when it dropped to 9p held my nerve and cashed out with a small profit. ATB, good luck with next weeks investigations and have a good weekend.

I’ve been buying (and drinking) corona lately. It seems really good value for some reason.

Bunsie,
My average was 13.3 before I managed the extra 5000 at 0p. Not sure what my average is now as I haven’t calculated it. I have to ignore what Halifax says as it only counts purchases not sales.
Have a good weekend.

Ivy,
You’re talking cobras again!
Enjoy your curry and have a good weekend.

WTP,
No it was an old one - February 2018. They were still talking about winning the grand challenge and getting £20M.

Ray,
Another science question for you.....
You quoted LD as saying
"These cytotoxic CD4 T Cells really are amazing"
That was two and a half years ago - won’t they have gone off by now?

Moljen,
It has been a long time since I averaged up!

Ray,
Many thanks for your very clear explanation in your 15:53. It all makes sense now.
A great link, Lindy Durrant also has a great way of explaining things. Not surprising given her expertise in the field and many years training people. They do say, if you can’t explain something simply you don’t really understand it.

Bunsie,
Yes, she has a very understated manner that makes you think it is even more upbeat than the upbeatness she portrays. Hope you understand what I mean!
