Firstly jdt1990

Antibody is just ONE of the tests we can make. Infact if we make these Mologic LFT’s which are on trial at Heathrow, you know the ones that are quicker to market than yours...we would make more money.

From your article....

‘In fact, one recent study has suggested that for those with a milder SARS-CoV-2 infection, the response of antibodies may disappear within 60 days.‘

If our antibody test can measure at the start of the period and the end? Or let’s say every 15 days, every 13 days, every 45 days, every 60 days.... you see where I’m going with this right? How many tests will get used per person? If antibodies lasted 10 days, it’s still significant. Means I can pretty much do what I want for 10 days. Travel, go out, visit people. There is no evidence of having antibodies and still being infectious. Also when you get a vaccine, how will they know whether it’s triggered an immune response?

The vaccine isn’t a permanent fix, so if there are booster shots every few months, you think they’ll need to do a test before and after vaccine?

They wrote their test in development is 45 and the demand is sub 30... that’s how I remember it.

I remember specifically having this conversation with PP.

Phil, wasn’t there an explicit mention of 45 mins in development on that page?

Hi,

Have they changed the wording on the POC test where there was confusion over 45~ and sub 30 mins?

Hi gents,

No ramps please, where do you see the SP going by the end of the year. I’m just a little bit surprised it’s dropped so much in the last few weeks.

I’ll take any sort of blue at the moment

Ignore my post, I’ve no idea how an antibody test can tell them if they don’t have covid.

David, you have a point but if I thought I had covid and I did an antibody test and it turns out I have antibodies, what does that tell you?

It’s not his call to make regarding papers. DNA nudge....
how many papers do we have on NCYT, Abbott, Randox and whoever else supplies UK gov?

He’s just miffed he wasn’t invited to the party.

Think it just means we are 45 mins in development but market want sub 30.... after today sub 10 would be needed. There is already a 12 min test out.

The reason why we got the leak in July about our test in the guardian was post Dido briefing comments. It must have pi55ed off the consortium to hear that gov don’t know the science when they’ve been discussing antibody tests day and night for months with the gov....and obviously our Sp tanked following the downing st briefing.

Just think about it, the government is now going to sign it off. Deek is referring to us as the government suppliers for antibody test and he must know it’s imminent otherwise why would he write an article now in the guardian.

Don’t be alarmed by any negativity, deek is doing his job.

One thing all scientists agree on is that scientists won’t agree on anything. Just remember that.

It’s out of hours and they’ve not specifically said which machine that is.

Same people who said there is no wuhan virus, then it’s not something big, then it’s big but it’s ok to travel, and quarantine is wrong, then don’t travel and quarantine, test test test, and now only test if your symptomatic.

Trump has a LOT of problems, but him calling out WHO is bang on in my view. We can all agree to disagree, but in my eyes if they were doing their job, it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as bad as it is now.

Basically don’t go for a test unless you have symptoms. But if your asymptomatic and you infect someone, and they die it’s acceptable or within the tolerance.

Testing for COVID-19 infections not always useful - says World Health Organisation (WHO)

Coronavirus testing and a fast turnaround for results are critical for controlling the pandemic, but broad-based population tests are

not always useful, officials at the World Health Organisation said on Thursday.

Maria Van Kerkhove, a WHO epidemiologist, said the UN agency recommended suspected cases be tested and their contacts, but the focus should be on people with symptoms.

Head of WHO's emergencies programme Mike Ryan noted that broad population testing programmes absorbed a large amount of resources.

PP what is different?

Lloyd no need to apologise.

Given the fact that I researched it, and wrote it, many times I forget so many things. 2-3 months is a long time to remember something like this.

Logically I just can’t see how FDA could not come before validation with BC. Unless they use that loophole.

I’ve said it about 3-4 time already approvals went it roughly the same time as the others. Given the other two went in early and mid June expect EUA to be mid June too.

The change to request additional information seems to be standard.

This is a note I wrote to myself...

WHO timeline - should get WHO if all goes well either the last Monday of this month or the first Monday in September.

This is on the assumption we will change status next week like Mologic changed this week. I’ll also state that this pdf isn’t up to current date, I think what we see is either from Friday last week or Monday this week.

Obviously I can’t say for certain but I did predict Mologic would change status before us. And if they are a week ahead then it’s all on track.

KD82, you remember we spoke about this?
