Olearney,

I understand there is a need for a quick and relatively non-invasive test that can be completed at the hospital bedside.

I do not have an understanding of the accuracy requirement. I think the Covid LFT was about 70%?

Simon.

Southmead,

I understand Neuro-Bio are useing Aptamer products to develop a saliva Lateral Flow Test (LFT), which I imagine would be similar in operation to a Covid LFT? Sounds to be a great opportunity here.

Best regards,

SimonV.

Thought I would post this as background for those that are interested. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2ze84e8p1o

I do not know of any reason, but it appears quite focussed and deliberate.

I copied this from a post by "GoodGrief" on IES page.

Getting paid to buy, store and sell energy back into grids could be the next big trade for firms that made fortunes hauling oil, gas and metals around the world.

Fredd1eboy,

It was really good. I would expect a recording to be available on www.turnerpope.com soon.

Best regards,

Thank you ifiknewidberich9.

I do not believe buys and sells are deliberately mislabelled. However it is obvious something is going wrong.

I bought this morning through H-L, which was flagged as a sell. Could it have been an institution selling either to me or H-L was recorded?

Yours confused.

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Thank you for your post. I do read many posts for CPH2.
