In case you missed the link maryland, this is a 'must watch' presentation given by Alistair Smith in March 2019. Spread the word :-)

The requirement to take a PCR test before leaving the UK, is a requirement by the destination country. Spain are dropping this requirement according to Reuters, so no need to take any kind of test prior to departure to Spain from 20th May. You will, of course, have to take test(s) prior to / on your return, since Spain is ‘amber’.

That 40mil/year was GAD/Mologic original plan for the new factory. Since, then the govt have provided a lot of machinery, so I expect you could now double or treble GAD's capacity.

Of course, the available 'immediately' manufacturing capacity increases significantly if Avacta are chosen as the sovereign test.

AS: "Within the UK, we expect to be able to access…, fairly shortly, during the summer, around 5m tests per calander month"

Assuming the 5m is the sum of GAD, Abby & BBI, it depends how you apportion that figure between them.

We know Abby were gearing up to 3mil/week by the end of 2021, so lets say conservatively they're capable of 1mil/week right now. We know they have deals to produce LFT's for 3 customers (including Avacta), so let's assume they've committed one third to each customer. So, Abby will produce approx 1.5mil/month for Avacta "fairly shortly, during the summer".

Wild guess, but let's say BBI can do 1mil/month "fairly shortly, during the summer", since they're a bit smaller than Abby.

That leaves 2.5mil/month coming from GAD, which should be available shortly after immediately.

Ok, there's a speculative / uneducated estimate for you...2.5mil

Any chance of keeping her on standby each day at 7am Hawkes? A bit more pocket money maybe?

IG just gone open/close on spread bet, if anyone fancies an immediate top-up.

Don't forget Cautious, we have our own reserved capacity with GAD, which is distinct from GAD's govt capacity. So, we can sell to anywhere in the world immediately, if we want.

Feel a bit jealous when I hear mention of your retirement destination Golferboy. Done Koh Samui a few times. Have a mate with a bar in Pattaya...Sabai cafe, if you know it. Good luck!

Good post wyn. Always interesting to hear the chartist take on things. Good to see you back. Don't be a stranger.

Think they use Greenwich Mean Time MrA.

I'm suggesting that the verification is being done in connection with the Phase 1 - GAD contract, same language and all that. Anyway, guess we'll find out soon enough.

I noticed when listening to AS 22nd Apr webinar again last night that he mentioned 'verification studies'. I don't recall him using that expression before - validation, evaluation yes, but not heard 'verification' from him before. From the webinar slide:

"GAD is already making product that is being used for verification and validation studies"

(21:30 m/s)

Then I noticed this para from the GAD contract:

11.2 The information to be provided under clause 11.1.2 is expected to comprise a manufacturing file received from the Test Developer with the information and know how including but not limited to the drawings, dimensions, technical specifications of all Consumables, which will allow the Supplier to manufacture the Goods, and a regulatory file containing all the testing and efficacy data obtained by the Test Developer, including all trials and verification data, in support of the
claimed efficacy of the Goods in detecting Covid-19.

Is this why AS has suddenly added 'verification' to his vocabulary?

"Yes., whatever happened to that nice chap who suggested we join him in DEV? Ouch."

Did somebody mention nephews? Bought some Dev today @25.4 Pigster. Bottomzup was a bit premature. Will leave that one with you, but better than anything Sujoood could offer.

I imagine Medusa will have a rather large database of contacts by now...they've had a year to gather.
Should imagine these tests will fly out by that route alone.

Expect a big buy at 17:05pm when IG top-up.

*closing only on Avacta

IG just gone closing only on IG...must have sold out.

You're on form today PL, good stuff...keep it up. pmsl

KahunaJim: You conveniently left out the context of what I said. I was saying the govt can't be trusted in so far as they've shafted Omega & Abingdon re: MHRA approval of ABC19 and they haven't paid Abingdon the £5mil quid they owe them.

I suspect Sujood's clock doesn't have any hands, so, not even right once a day.
