Why whinge about it here? they don't post here. Take your grievance over to twitter and perhaps attempt to address their points because no one else has, surely that's the way to shut them up.

Absolutely poidster, 45k reported today up 50% from the 3rd, literal exponential growth. In the next 7 days hospitalizations and deaths will rise further after the lag. Not a word from the government, this smells very similar to October last year. The vaccines being the only thing standing between us and 1k deaths a day. Any further mutation with a degree more of vaccine escape or Co infection with influenza could cause havoc with cases as high as they've been since July.

43422 cases, 915 hospitalizations, 148 deaths.

Looks like we're in another exponential growth phase in cases, up around 30% from last week. Seeing community spread through all age groups.

Russia is a mess, seeing 1000+ deaths a day and very low vaccination rates.

@troublesome, UN says thanks but no thanks. A small helping of schadenfreude.

The fact they've struggled to get a quorum is entirely the fault of the board and their brokers, they've failed completely to engage the interest of IIs during the pandemic. Good company, great fundamentals, fantastic products but awful comms. Worst institutionally supported company I've ever seen.

Nobody could have possibly seen this coming though eh, I guarantee the daily mail will be pushing for the complete removal of travel testing by the end of next week. Testing was never the reason for low travel numbers, it was always the traffic lights system and our case numbers being so high nobody wanted us to come. We've sacrificed any reasonable border surveillance for nothing.

Why is Mullis in the video? Yesterday's CEO quite literally, surely they should presenting the new CEOs vision for our future direction with his face front and centre.

Also, why wasn't this released by the company at least through its Twitter account? They never miss an opportunity to miss, yet again it takes someone like Larry to somehow dig this out of the internet. Their pr have learned sfa.

If people are that unhappy, get 5% of shareholders together and call an EGM to force them to put the company up for sale. Nowhere near enough institutional support to overturn a shareholder revolt. The management are in an incredibly weak position in that respect.

In the meantime 44932 cases today

Any downgrade to fy of 100m after it's been reiterated no less than 3 times since August would demand the immediate resignation of the chairman at the very least.

If cases in the UK remain at these levels travellers won't have to worry about day 2 tests, no b@gger will let us visit in the first place. Bali for starters.

As opposed to all the other covid plays who've never made a penny except from placings?

45,066 cases 157 deaths today.

They could do with a few Qs and copreps to deploy there as well, after all we do have a contract with them.

Only last week a couple that I know returned from holiday, having felt rough all week. Did the day 2 test on return and et voila, Covid. So, in likelyhood they flew out infectious (no testing required for entry to spain) and flew back infectious (almost certainly) considering how ill they felt on the way home. 400 people potentially exposed on the flights alone, then of course they were mooching around the costas all week. No once did they consider doing a self test, would have ruined their holiday (their own words).

This time we'll be seeding Delta across europe.

We're seeing a significant rise in cases and we're not even at mid October, one long drawn out peak since July. Cases rising across all age groups, not just schools. Hospitalizations and deaths will lag the rise in cases. The powers that be will simply ignore it and pray it away hoping that the vaccines do all the heavy lifting.

42,776 cases in the UK.
136 deaths in the UK.
754 patients admitted to hospital in the UK.
7,011 patients in hospital in the UK.
780 patients on ventilation in the UK.

873,498 tests conducted. Last week: 1,072,740

We can't spend the cash until the dispute is resolved, they aren't sitting on it.

Resolve the dispute then we move on, as monumentally frustrating as it is it can't go on forever although it feels like it has.

Still think it's likely crappy specificity with the Chinese LFTs picking up rhinovirus considering a lot of those tested are presenting with cold symptoms.

Get the 10m tax overpayment rebated and buy back 5% of the company without having to touch CAB.

Vaccine program a success?

We're not even in the top 20 nations now, why do you think Johnson has given up on the world class vaccination program rhetoric that he used to trot out at every opportunity.

You can only hope for the best outcome for him and his wife.

Most of the country is mooching around like it's done and dusted, sadly I think we're in for a rude reminder that viruses generally don't care about public opinion. RSV is already making it's presence felt.
