Is Moonshot in Trouble?
Is the BRH rapid <=300 SECOND test the test for mass testing?
Interesting article in the Guardian;
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/13/operation-moonshot-doubts-over-uk-covid-saliva-tests-plan-after-trial-scaled-back
Fresh doubts have been raised over “Operation Moonshot”, the government’s £100bn testing plan, after a pilot to regularly test a quarter of a million people was paused then significantly scaled back.
The trial, in Salford in Greater Manchester, had been heralded as the first step in a mass-testing mission which Boris Johnson said “would allow people to lead more normal lives, without the need for social distancing”.
All 254,000 residents were to eventually take regular saliva tests – a scientific breakthrough Johnson said would turn round results “in 90 or even 20 minutes”.
But six weeks after the pilot began, it was paused last week and on Tuesday the government admitted it would now be smaller in scale and focused on “high-risk environments and groups”.
Announcing the Salford pilot on 3 September, the DHSC said it was part of a £500m project trialling next-generation testing technology and increased testing capacity.
Next generation!!!
Is this the prenancy style LFT
Is Moonshot in trouble?
Operation Moonshot had been paused due to a lack of clarity over the accuracy of the saliva testing system!!!!!!!!
“Today, we’ve received new correspondence from the DHSC, after chasing a written update for several weeks, ‘un-pausing’ the community testing project with an emphasis on more targeted testing towards high-risk individuals and communities – as opposed to whole city ‘mass’ community testing being rolled out after a few initial weeks of concept testing.
Well that's a very interesting eleventh hour development!
Is there another 5 Minute test on the bloc suitable for mass testing whose POC is available by 16th October 2020?
Absolutely, it's Paraytec/Sheffield University new covid test which is <= 300 SECOND!!
Looks like my investment just got very interesting!!
The risk Vs reward here just took on another dimension which may include national importance!
Market Cap <£14M.
Absolutely no brainer investment now. If the POC works and do not forget it has been massively derisked this minnow could be an interesting covid stock winner!
As always DYOR.
Forgot to add, J&J and Oxford reporting issues with their vaccines. So vaccines seem to be way off hitting their milestone delivery dates!
Come on Carl show them how Milestone Management is done!!
For balance, don't forget downside risk here:
Sputnik V is available!
Trump's therapeutic ****tail is available!
GLA. This week just got more interesting!!!
Test, test, test
