The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Between 1,000 and 2,000 COVID-19 patients a day could be admitted to hospital in England at the peak of the third wave and there may be 100 to 200 daily deaths, government scientists believe.
The number of daily infections in this latest wave is not expected to peak before mid-August, according to papers newly released by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).
Experts are urging the public to "go slow" once most restrictions lift on 19 July, in order to curb infections and cut the number of people who will die from COVID-19.
They recommend workers do not all head back to the office from mid-July, continue to wear masks in crowded spaces, and stay at home when infected or contacted by the NHS app or NHS Test and Trace. Scientists claim if people revert to normal pre-pandemic behaviour all at once on 19 July, then there will be a big wave of infection and larger numbers admitted to hospital.
Someone asked this on twitter any answers ?
a naive question, do the company have to do the investor meeting on Tuesday or is it their choice ???, if they have to do it I’m not to excited, if it is their choice then only good can come from it ??
I think gov will grant that contract to ODX just for political reasons ,I also think King Colin will have something positive to say on 13th I just can't see how a company keep employing more staff if there is no income or forecasted near future income there has to be good explanation for this
May be we are just too late in the game ,gov will use up innova tests and remember ODX is only there if required and capacity to manufacture if needed ,plus surescreen is supplying the tests already ,the only play left here is global sales ,I'm still confused why they recruiting and 250 staff what's all that about if no gov contract will go ahead ,we are indeed kept in the dark I am hoping King Colin will highlight this on 13th there must be something in pipeline
we be lucky to see 65p
12 billion dollar market cap would be £47 a share good to dream hey
And there we have it. Joshua Alliance comes in and buys 7.4m shares. This is what is called being long term greedy

#BWNG EBITDA of £86.5m in a CV19 year.A year when most retailers like Ted Baker lost money. Expected to make £93-100m this year.More social media, build out home range, accelerating cust acquisition. SP down on RNS which is a blunt instrument for Alliance family to mop up more?
57-58p next level should bounce of that

The Government has spent more than £3bn on rapid Covid tests over the past few months as ministers prepare for a mass testing drive ahead of plans to ease lockdown restrictions in June.
Contracts published yesterday show the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) has spent £3.14bn on the devices, also known as lateral flow tests, since February.
The biggest contract was awarded to test supplier Innova Medical Group, in a deal signed in March worth up to £1.21bn. The contract will see Innova supply hundreds of millions of devices from manufacturing sites in China to the NHS.

The agreement brings DHSC’s total payments to the Californian company, which is owned by a private equity firm, to almost £3.2bn during the pandemic.
Another contract worth up to £1.15bn was awarded to Bedfordshire-based firm Global Access Diagnostics to produce up to 200m rapid Covid tests, documents published this week showed.
The deal, signed in February, formed part of government plans to develop a domestic diagnostics industry to prepare for future crises. Ministers last year launched Project Defend – a Government initiative attempting to wean Britain off its reliance on imported goods from China.
A third contract worth £374m was awarded to Scotland and Cambridge-headquartered firm Omega Diagnostics to manufacture 200m rapid Covid-19 tests on behalf of the Government.
US test operator Tanner Pharma was awarded two further contracts, worth £92m and £34m, to produce lateral flow tests.

Boris Johnson will announce whether 21 June unlocking will go ahead by the end of this month
It comes as part of a mass testing drive to track the spread of coronavirus across the UK ahead of plans to lift all social distancing restrictions on 21 June.
Despite the rise of the Indian variant of coronavirus, the Prime Minister said today that there was “nothing in the data” that currently suggests it will be impossible to remove most remaining legal restrictions next month as originally planned.
Lateral flow tests are a type of antigen testing, which look for proteins that exist on the surface of the virus. They have a turnaround time of as little as 30 minutes, and function in a similar way to pregnancy tests.
Despite previous concerns surrounding their efficacy, NHS Test and Trace analysis published in March suggested the tests have a specificity of at least 99.9 per cent.
The Prime Minister has previously signalled that on-the-spot Covid tests will provide the key to reopening “parts of the economy we couldn’t get open” such as nightclubs and theatres.
In a statement last month, Boris Johnson said: “As we continue to make good progress on our vaccine programme and with our roadmap to cautiously easing restrictions under way, regular rapid testing is even more important to make sure tho
