Imagine spending your day on here over Xmas talking down your own investment, sad mewling pr@ck. Probably rubbing one out as it types every post.

As for the UK buying Chinese tests, the Chinese can't even buy Chinese tests right now. Will they buy ours? Will we even want them to? No idea. The government will u turn on testing Chinese arrivals by the weekend though imo.

The UK will change its stance at exactly the moment the US says 'any country that doesn't introduce testing for incoming travellers from China, will be subject to testing for it's own citizens arriving in the US '.

India had 10k + a day dying during their delta wave and lied about it from start to end, similar population size and bodies floating down the Ganges for weeks because they simply couldn't cremate enough people a day. The idea that a handful of people a day are dying in Beijing is simply ludicrous. Hong Kong was better vaccinated than China and has the worst deaths per Capita from covid, China will eclipse them.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all.

F@cking Innova, why aren't the press crawling up the @rse of this with a flash light? If Cummings was referring them you can guarantee Johnson had his nose in that trough.

Ecologic, £38m for doing sod all.

Christ, that's awful Ted. Almost 80% discount, just shows how tight the market is for companies with liquidity issues.

The government will likely find out that buyer's remorse isn't a legal defense. Not surprised to see this today considering the news surrounding the NHS.

Well it's all going swimmingly there. Good luck to western countries trying to get hold of pharmaceuticals and diagnostics in the new year. My advice would be don't get ill this winter.

Well Chinese investors are filling their boots, with Chinese diagnostics stock.

@kaeren they've been experiencing an acute shortage of ABs (specifically paediatric) for a month now in the US and Canada. The government should have seen this coming.

Private eye rail against us making 65% margin on tests while penicillin manufacturer's jack prices up 400%. Some pigs are more equal than others.

Tests for the Welsh but not for the English. £7.50 a pop, results in 5mins or less.

Yes poidster, there's some horror stories on the socials about the shortage of paediatric ABs. Blanket prophylaxis is an idiotic idea, test -isolate- treat is the way to go.

I've got 4 courses of amoxicillin 500mg sitting in the cupboard if anyone is stumped ;-)

Bizarrely it's easy to get hold of ABs in the US without a prescription if you know where to go. A legal loophole that allows doomsday preppers etc to get hold of them. $30 for a hundred from reputable outlets. I keep them because every dental abscess I've ever had has started on a Friday.

15 kids under 15 have died as of today from strep A, it seems to be escalating quickly. Government will likely do SFA.

Who'd have thought it, lady Mone was lobbying on behalf of a diagnostics company that her husband was connected to. These b@ggers couldn't lie straight in bed.

So every assay that the DHSC could conceivably have had a problem with has now passed their own self professed rigorous accreditation process. You can guarantee they were looking for ways to fail them.

Only the lfts left but they were developed well after the dispute was initiated.

In the absence of evidence of outright malfeasance by the company this is becoming farcical.

@pck76, sorry I don't have a link. Can't find one either.

You can add a kid from Portsmouth to that list as well unfortunately, seems the issue with strep A is mainly in the south at the moment. Test the kids and treat the infected with antibiotics, it's easy enough to do. Government might get off it's @rse if the deaths get in to 3 figures.

@larry10 so some random bloke can run his own influenza assays in his kitchen but the DHSCs finest couldn't get them to work in their fully kitted out labs?

F@@@ing laughable.

So the 3g test is approved, the test private eye accused the company of strong arming fit to fly approval for. The DHSC is starting to run down blind alleys, this company has more tests cleared through cdta than any other. Not bad for a bunch of shysters.

'Why would the dhsc buy from ncyt ever again?'

Because they already do, there has been an abundance of evidence posted here from the trusts around the country showing for example that they're using our genesig covid assays and continue to do so.

I get being ****y about the sales situation but now you're posting outright lies. Something, ironically you have absolutely no problem accusing others of doing.

Over 3% of the company has changed hands this morning (France +UK), there's been a buyer for a few days now. Why? Fkd if I know but I'll take any win no matter how small. Twitter quiet, unlikely to be a p&d.
