Carl's tweet
In case you missed why we will be needing a robust, fast, high sensitivity test for infection control.

Nice, subtle and direct.
To translate, Carl's test will be fast, sensitive and specific.
Excellent!

Covid testing on brink of collapse in Tier 4 amid surge in demand
Nearly two million residents of Kent were unable to access tests on Sunday, while many Londoners were sent more than 20 miles.
No walk-in or drive-in tests in Kent were shown as available by 3pm on Sunday with residents asked to travel to London testing centres instead.
It comes after fears emerged that England’s testing infrastructure could be on the brink of collapse after not a single test was available in London just hours before the city was plunged into tougher restrictions on Saturday (December 19).
By midday on December 20, those living in Ashford were told they faced a six-hour wait to access one of under 150 tests at a facility 25 miles away.
Matt Han++k, the Health Secretary, last week said Kent had a “serious problem” caused by the new strain of the virus and stretched NHS resources.
Walk-in locations across the county were also out of stock within a five-mile radius as early as 12pm.
This will get worse as the demand for testing ramps up.
Everything is needed for the best tests to come to market.
In Carl we trust has just moved several gears now. A fast, sensitive and specific test or two is now required!!

Kainos looks like I was correct.
Sovereign manufacturing of PPE will be needed now!
Visualise the bigger picture with what if scenarios!

Testing for two years from Carl!
We are about to join the test race just at the right time with two world class tests!
£8M market cap!!!

Haha, thanks for more fantastic insight from your crystal ball. Ten bagger!
If we do have the Holy Grail and meet MHRA Guidelines Desired Criterion then we could be in a whole new ball game!
I really think Carl's TWO tests will meet the 3S's.
That's why I invested here in the first place.
King Trev has additionally given us a further fantastic opportunity with the divi and subsequent £8M market cap.
Unbelievable, Unbelievable, Unbelievable!
Stay safe, this is going to be one hell of a journey Q1/2 2021!

New strain of Covid which is 70% more virulent is called VUI202012/01.
Don't want to sound biblical but...
With the Star of Bethlehem on the night's sky next week, let's hope/pray Carl's test can detect for this strain.
Isolation and rapid testing is needed!
Stay safe everyone. Life is precious. Nothing else matters.
Test, test, test
Kainos, the answer to your question is yes I am still invested in RMS.
Bought in sub 1p, a long term hold. TA - RMS bouncing off sma100 (which has positive gradient), which it needs to hold!!
As an investor research is key. Always look at the bigger picture. The container question I raised was an inquisitive question at the time - Haha, has great incite which is very interesting to probe (look at my questions to him before the last RNS).
This has now been overtaken by events from BJ announcement of 19/12/21. Kent is Tier 4. Nothing will now move from this region. Brexit uncertainty further compounds this.
The new infectious strain has the boffins worried. Herd immunity could occur before vaccine rollout. This is a nightmare outcome, having come so far in 2020.
Mass testing becomes more important now.
Travel will be vastly restrictive. No one will want to import a 70% virulent strain without a vaccine. We will be locked down.
Face masks and PPE procured in territory becomes very important now.
Sovereign manufacturing needs to step up to the challenges ahead. We are entering uncharter territory now!
Does the vaccine address the new strain? Does the vaccine prevent infectiousness? Big questions which are more accute abd need answeering rapidly.
The best tests need to be fast tracked now. Government response needs to step up.
We should have been throwing everything into this from the start. We will have to now.
A fast, sensitive and specific test (or better still TWO tests) is now a game changer in the war we must now wage against this criter!
In Carl we trust has now been raised to another level!
Stay safe everyone.

Daily Mail reporting that plans to post millions of rapid testing kits to homes are BLOCKED by regulator amid fears they are not accurate enough when people test themselves.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9070221/Plans-post-millions-rapid-testing-kits-homes-BLOCKED-regulator-accuracy-fears.html
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) believes the lateral flow tests are not accurate enough when people test themselves - dampening hopes that they could help to avoid a new lockdown.
The tests only pick up around 49 per cent of infections when used by ordinary people, a previous pilot study showed.
That's why a fast, sensitive and specific test is NOW required. An antigen test that would be the ONLY test to meet MHRA Guidelines Desired Criterion! CARL'S test.
Carl's test is fast (< 300 SECONDS), sensitive (look at Carl's Twitter account,Carl “Fast,Sensitive Covid-19 Test” Smythe, https://mobile.twitter.com/carlsmythe) and specific (most LFT's are specific, Carl is using an inhouse Chimeric aptamer protein).
I really think we have the Grail here!
Clinical evaluation next month!
Music to my ears!
Two tests, the validated Proof of Concept optical test and now an LFT, a mass test device which would surely get MHRA approval (unlike the Innova LFT)!
The market cap makes this a no brainer!

Whitegates, the £912M Tender was extended and then this week cancelled as per Ophidian's Twitter post. Visit the Avacta BB for details!
Boris obviously wants a better test in terms of sensitivity and a sovereign test!
The Innova test is from Chi-NA. £1.2B+ orders have been already been placed for this dodgy Innova LFT test.

Now the Government wants a better test!!

Its all about the Market Cap from here!
Just like RMS...
At BRH we are presently £8.24M.
Do we have the best TWO antigen mass tests for availability from February 21?
For me it's a no brainer!
Avacta at around £300M market cap! No test!

If we are bidding for this contract with a fast (tick), sensitive (tick), specific (tick) test assay x 2 (Excellent), then could we win the majority of this tender from the dodgy Innova LFT that HMG is currently using? Absolutely!

Don't forget no supplier has provided an Antigen test that meets MHRA Guidelines Desired Criterion.
Is this the first test assay, no one of TWO!!!
UNBELIEVABLE, UNBELIEVABLE, UNBELIEVABLE!
Someone posted on NCYT BB that Govt has stocks of the dodgy Innova until end of February.
This fits nicely with our timeframes!
Carl's test assays could be THE test assays.
The Holy Grail of mass testing that everyone the world over wants!
Market cap! £8+M.
