"Covid is all over bar the shouting"
Perhaps we are too late for this big adoption.

Seems fairly subdued in US.

Over the last 12 months VLS has put up a dismal performance.....glad I came in here having considered both!

Is the market open tomorrow or will we have to wait until Tuesday for any RNS?

MINISTERS have been warned that the UK does not have the testing capacity to bring the “pingdemic” to an immediate end.

Senior sources close to the testing programme warned that if the Government brought forward a relaxation of the self-isolation rules for the double jabbed, the system would not be able to meet demand easily.

‘I cannot see how we would cope if everyone pinged by the app asked for a PCR test’
“I cannot see how we would cope if everyone pinged by the app asked for a PCR test,” one source said. “You’re talking about more than a million people, potentially. We’re already up against it, and at the moment the spare capacity simply isn’t there.”

Thanks Skippy

Downturn in testing ‘opens floodgates to new variants’
POTENTIAL Covid-19 variants are entering the UK unchecked as the number of positive tests being genome sequenced from amber countries has fallen to just 3 per cent.

Just 44 of the 1,388 positive test results from amber list arrivals in the three weeks to June 30 were tested to identify variants. That compares with 61 per cent in the three weeks to March 17.

There was a similar decline in sequencing samples from red list countries – including South Africa, South America and India where some of the variants first emerged.

Why has the prof gone so quiet? Time to get the ---- test out there is now! Urgency needs to be injected into the whole process.!

Oxford study suggests Covid can be controlled better by tests than quarantine.
FORCING hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren to self-isolate because a classmate had Covid was unnecessary as daily testing would have been as effective, an official study suggests.

The results of the study by Oxford University have emerged on the last day of term for most schools, at a time when more than a million pupils are off because of the virus and after months of disruption to education.

Nice "buy" recommendation in the Investors Chronicle.

Align report paid for by company I believe.

Just a copy and paste.
Oberon Investments Group PLC (LON:OBE) on Tuesday made its City debut as it joined the Access Segment of AQSE Growth Market – the Aquis Exchange’s entry-level bourse for growth companies.

The boutique wealth manager, formerly known as Baskerville, has raised a gross £1.44mln at 4p a share – a transaction that values the business at £16mln.

The listing was the result of a reverse takeover transaction, which has become an increasingly popular (and fast-track) method of floating a company.

Founded in 2017, Oberon has assets under management of £400mln and is growing strongly.

Chief executive Simon McGivern said: "Our admission to Aquis now gives Oberon the quoted platform to facilitate a step-change in delivering on our growth ambitions.

"Oberon's focus on providing clients with a brilliant service and product offering appears to be working, as evidenced by the strong growth over the last three years.

"We feel the wealth management and small to mid-cap corporate broking markets have stagnated and there is a natural space for a forward-thinking, client-focused boutique.

“We are very excited at the prospect of turning Oberon into a well-known and respected brand in the financial sector in the next few years."

Hope you are right! Good luck

I'm with you. But, Zwartkops why did TB sell?

Let's just go to market. The wait has been long enough.!!!!

BHP Group has done me well over 30 years!

Thought helium was inert. The Tokyo games were meant to showcase hydrogen.

Short rains around Nov as far as I remember. ITCZ moving South.

Nolupus on the BRH board speculating that TB might be planning a takeover here. Anybody agree? What would he have to offer?
