Yes , that would be a massive game changer for NHS hospitals.
Some hospitals were a bit ambivalent about the 1st gen PCR tests.
BUT now the prospect of a Promate type Winterplex that is an easy to use POC test will be very desirable.
I can imagine a renewed interest in our Q machines over the coming Autumn/winter.
e.g. If every hospital ward had a Q16 machine they could test all patients in an hour or so and find out what they got, or not.
Very useful both to enable isolation of risky cases, AND also to be able to determine the best prognosis depending on the test results.
