ODX antibody test will be the test that will help countries to end lock-down.

frankmu: "antibody tests will be the key to unlock the economy." - This summaries it all.
It is the key to unlock many world economies too ! Extrapolate this to the number of tests required, then one can see the real potiential ...

ODX antibody test is believed to be the most accurate test in the world. This means that even the lowest antibody concentration in the blood - that could be missed by other tests - will be detected. This will help the big pharmas to understand what is the difference between a person who was infected by the virus without realising it (without symptoms) and someone with mild symptoms but got rid of the virus after a week or so in bed. So the antibody test has really many benefits: 1/ It detects who was infected by the virus and who wasn't - 2/ Can help big pharmas to understand antibody concentrations in the blood from person to person and 3/ Can also help them understand why a few people, despite having antibodies in the blood get infected again ? One recent example is a Juventus player (Dyabala) who was re-infected 3 or 4 times. Has he any antibodies ? What type and concentration ? So an accurate test is vital for the pharma industry for any future vaccine development. This is where ODX can help and as one can see, the antibody test is one of the most valuable test to enable developing a vaccine. ODX antibody principles were applied to HIV and can also be applied to any new viruses in the future. So the previous ODX experience in this area makes it the big winner.

Silkman - From all those you mentioned (AVCT, GDR) - ODX looks the cheapest and makes decent profit and turnover while others a still lossy. ODX also has the smallest market cap. So IMO we have more to go with ODX in the next few months. It could easily follow NCYT trendand SP steps as soon as the antibody test is rolled out. Same analogy with NCYT test kits.

Antibody test on track for end of May or early June The Government is "optimistic" that effective coronavirus antibody tests will be available by the end of May or early June, according to national testing co-ordinator Professor John Newton. As millions more tests are being rolled out for those with Covid-19 symptoms, Prof Newton said antibody tests - which detect whether a person has had coronavirus - are also in the pipeline. Speaking on BBC, he said: "There has been a lot of work in antibody testing. We are optimistic that we will have a good antibody test when we need it. "Not many people would test positive for an antibody test right now." He added: "There are antibody tests available now but we think there will be better tests, and we are not testing people until we have those."

Other areas such as HIV testing are also very busy doing their bit: This is the piece that particularly impressed me in terms of prospects for hundreds of millions of people involved: "The objective of the Agreement is to accelerate access to Omega's VISITECT(R) CD4 Advanced Disease rapid test(2) in low-income countries, lower-middle income countries and upper-middle income countries (together "Eligible Countries") as classified by the World Bank. The VISITECT(R) CD4 Advanced Disease Test IS THE ONLY CURRENTLY AVAILABLE handheld lateral flow point of care test for identifying patients with advanced HIV who are at risk of potentially life-threatening opportunistic infections."

ODX has tremendous prospects and future and I thin it follows the steps of NCYT in demand and share price value.

Millions of respirators are and will be needed. In some parts of the world (India, Africa), the virus hasn't stated yet in large numbers. Without enough beds equipped with respirators, many patients arriving and cramming in emergency departments to go to intensive care would die very quickly. So respirators are the emergency vital parts for saving lives. It takes a few minutes for an old person to die if he/she cannot breath properly. IHC is well placed to play a forefront role for saving lives. The stock will start to be noticed in a grand way soon.

For those interested to expand in the same sector (respirators), I would take a look at IHC (Inspiration Healthcare). Makes a profit and signed many good deals with NHS recently.

Interesting company. A good exposure to Intensive care areas for Covid-19 and other healthcare segments.

Perhaps one of the few companies that will not be affected by the virus as protection for cyber-attacks will increase dramatically during these lock-downs everywhere in the world.

RRE is debt free and has a total of £272 million equivalent to £20.7 per share. Where does one find such a gem to won in these troubled times. Many small oilers with debt will go under within one year. Only cash rich ones will survive and will take over most of the oil market. Buy and hold RRE. In 6 months the Chinese economy will start powering ahead but not many oilers will be around for the supply. So one can already imagine where RRE SP will be in one year or so with creeming oil demand.

Should be the same with ASC.

IMO oversold, so I also bought today. Even NXT, mainly a high street retailer, is hit less. ASC should be OK as it is 100% on-line. In fact it should do even better as people buy mainly on-line by deserting the high street.

Excellent news indeed. This is where the real growth story starts: "As of 13 March2020, Primerdesign has sold and received orders for over £3.7 million (€4.3 million)of its CE-Mark and research use only (RUO) COVID-19 tests, which includes the order received from PHE. This represents approximately eight months of sales for the division under normal circumstances.". - - - 3 months sales so far equal to 8 months in normal circumstances, meaning for each quarter, is added 5 extra months sales equivalent to 20 additional months for the full year - ONLY from test kits we can easily see that its sales has almost tripped.

"The number of countries Novacyt is now supplying with its COVID-19 test has reached over 60 and we expect this will continue to increase." - With African countries adding soon, it will exceed 100 countries in a 1 - 2 weeks.

By Monday the UK numbers will exceed 1000 and they will still scratch their heads because it's not too late yet.

Covid-19 World Map: Italy now over 15.000 infected and Iran over 10.000.

Very worrying indeed as it will be in Africa and India.
We saw how the US coped with the disaster in New Orleans a few years ago: Bodies floating in the water.
