Pumpky, Just listen to the Sky interview.

Meanwhile...

Roche buys gene sequencing company.

Seems gene sequencing companies are in demand.

I think we now know why Cathal Friel was trying to lower share price expectations the other week. Probably knew this was coming and didn't want ppl to take too big a hit.

Strange that. I waited to see my £17k trade showing up on LSE before I posted that last message. It showed up with a time of 9:24am. Just went back to check and it's disappeared. Be interesting to see if it reappears later.

Just topped up £17k. I am sure the company is enhancing it's software to include an element of 'remote' VR. The market for VR is beginning to break through this year. If you add a 'remote' aspect to it, I think Educational/University establishments will be all ears open given recent events. IMO of course.

Difficult to understand what's going on here. I mean, why would this ONS guy say what he said, if there's nothing in it. Just doesn't make sense. The only thing I can think, is that the govt. are under pressure to be seen to be doing something, so they throw a couple of top pharma names out there to make some headlines and buy them some time. They certainly haven't come across in a committed way when they've been asked about these big pharma companies (I mean they haven't come out and said "Today we have signed a deal with Roche for the purchase of 10 million tests" etc.) Hopefully, their motive is just to buy a bit of time until they get their ducks in a row with regards to the RTC. I'm sure Roche will have a role to play in the hospital environment, which makes sense because these tests can be analysed on site, but I have to think that their is also a major role for Omega on the POC side of things.

Sorry, missed the ITV News tonight. What was actually said about Abbott?

Forest24:
The 'test' you're referring to is to establish if the general approach works.

"In total, 25,000 people will take part in the pilot phase of the survey, with plans to extend it to up to around 300,000 over the next 12 months. Adults from around 1,000 households will also provide a blood sample taken by a trained nurse, phlebotomist or healthcare assistant. These tests will help determine what proportion of the population has developed antibodies to COVID-19. Participants will be asked to give further samples monthly for the next 12 months. Swabs will be taken from all participating households, whether their members are reporting symptoms or not. Blood will not be taken in any households where someone has symptoms of COVID-19 or is currently self-isolating or shielding. The trained study health workers will use all the recommended precautions to protect themselves and everyone in the household from getting the virus. Swab test results will be communicated back to participants by their GPs and confidentiality will be protected throughout the process. "

The second phase will be mass-population testing using the chosen POC test. Boris wants to ramp up to 200,000 tests per day. Do you think they've got a spare 200,000 nurses handy to go around houses collecting 200,000 samples a day and sending them all off to a lab?...don't think so.

If it's our test (and now sounds likely that it is), it will be used in the next phase of testing.

MIKODX - you've changed your tune a bit since 11 May:-

"All those that have properly researched this stock, just buckle up and enjoy the ride. Those who didn't and seem confused by all the different companies involved, will need to go and do some more research."

Why the sudden change of sentiment from you? Serious question, not having a go at you.

Wow! That's got to be our test. I'm sure he'll get a *******ing for letting the cat out of the bag!

Added £30k at 48p. Thank you MM's.

Might do the same myself Piper. I'm down in San Pedro, like you I'm substantially investing from afar!

Reuters:
Cuba, however, says it has treated nearly all of its patients with interferon injections and credits the medicine for helping it achieve a lower mortality rate among its 1,804 confirmed COVID-19 cases - 4.1% versus an average of 5.9% for the rest of the Americas.

I know ours is Interferon Beta, but Cuba showing very positive results injecting patients Interferon Alpha. I read somewhere that Interferon Beta is more effective than Alpha and with SYN having a more direct treatment to the lungs by nebulizer, I think our product is looking very promising.

Their test currently has to be sent off to a lab, so not the same as ours.

I noticed the same thing Cfds. Have £90k, but wanted to top-up. Have to go and raid my ISA instead.

Having c**cked up once with regards to having 100,000 test per day available and then failing to meet the target, I don't think the govt can afford to say anything more about tests until the RTC have this test absolutely nailed on, so not surprised at no mention by Bojo tonight.

The Well-Known Hazards of Coronavirus Vaccines
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,1 son of Sen. and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, both of whom were tragically murdered, has continued in the footsteps of these famously courageous men by standing up for the truth.

Very interesting (if long winded) article on the massive complexities of vaccine development for corona-viruses. Also highlights the significant dangers of rushing through unproven vaccines. It's an excellent read if you have the time.

I'm in a few other Covid stocks. Have a £12.5k investment here in TILS. The thing I like about this 'COVID' stock, is that it's been above these current levels before the pandemic ever hit. For example, June 19 - 76p, Sept 19 - 70p. In other words, it's not just a one-trick pony and the downside risk has much better mitigation than other COVID stocks, which are 100% 200% 300% higher than they have ever been in the past.

It's actually "azithromycin and Zinc" that Trump refers to in that clip.
