Injecting disinfectant was mentioned by major world leader, as was a malarial treatment. Don’t put too much stock onto what today’s politicos say.

Not saying future isn’t bright and nice to get a mention but this lot couldn’t find the own..... with s mirror and a torch.

Would it also help reserve the lab PCR tests for those that really need to know.

Will do, thanks

It says exploring.....

Could be anything from a “we might have a test in
X weeks’

To

“Can you send 10,000 samples”

Doesnt confirm anything but nice to be in the game still.

Holds hand up in air

So the target drug release doesn’t use affimer tech, but different tech licensed from patent ? Or?

How does it work!

Are affimers used to treat any disease or just to spot them apart from neutralizing a virus by grabbing it.

Or have I gone down wrong rabbit hole.

And the rest of us not bored, nice to find out more about the market awacta operates in and understanding influences on our investment more.

Bonds, Fat fingers!!!

Interesting to see. The bit about covid19 binds I hadn’t seen before

Did anyone fill in the proxy vote form or will be turning up?

I have no idea how to vote, too late now . Out of interest , education and a break from when is the press release coming out, could someone share their experience of voting at AIM company meetings.

If you are symptomatic a single point of time test is useful, it will let you know to a great degree if symptoms are Covid19 or just some other nasty bug you picked up. From there you take appropriate action.

In the context of travel single point of time test will be a little useful as they will stop symptomatic and asymptomatic travelers who have infection. That is a very low number as a % of population.

But covid19 has a long incubation period and people can remain infectious for 21 days+. If you get on the Heathrow Express heathy you might get off infected. You would not test positive. You then travel to that lovely beach resort, dance the night away, drink cheap g and t touching glasses, door handles Etc for 2 weeks. You might be infectious for a whole heap of time but hey you tested negative at the airport. Some people you danced with and you might develop symptoms, some not, some will positive at airport on way home,some not cis too early(last night of holiday;-)). Basically horse, stable ...

The point being made is if you were tested multiple days, the infection could be caught early and you and everyone you met has to isolate before it gets out of hand. But dance in your room like no one is watching. Social distancing still applies.

It means travelers won’t be tested once at landing but multiple times following that if it will be effective.

Avacta/awacta will be a big part of ya all being able to dance the night away., maybe not this year but soon. If only they could find the cure for 2 left feet!

Carnival cruises has gone from 4.8 billion to 7 million in revenue. How much will they pay for priority for test kits to passengers before and during sailing. They still have ships at sea cos no one will allow docking. 11 million people a year so not so many kits but to get priority and reassure people to get ships sailing..... how much would you pay? MSC in similar position.

Then again cruise even with test will anyone want to sail?

Airport testing interesting. Likely to be getting on and getting ready off cos it just makes things easier for the price of a couple of g and t with Mr Ryan’s magic aeromachine. But a 2 hour test window is not likely to help much in keeping infection out. Couple of days later passenger could be shedding germs like a dog with fleas.

Rd as you say a multi day test regime is likely. I think it will be voluntary, as mandatory will be too hard to implement. Remains to be seen if that will work, eg Korean club/churches only took a person or 2 to cause a hotspot.

I suspect testing for people traveling will last a long time. It’s probably less effective than testing own populations but it looks good in the papers and marketing department of governments love that. Plus it points finger at Jonny foreigner.

My bad. Lesson learnt !

Thanks

Ah now there is a link, thanks :-)

Was it a picture of a cat?

Details details....

Felt sorry for Klaus, poor bugger has been given a hard time.

Kit is 900-4000 quid.

Bloody amazing. Another 20 years and Docs will have one of those hand held scanner jobs from
Star Trek

Avacta et al make a test. Vaccine is someone else.

Test takes a morning, but how many tests can one machine do in that time ? One test? Needs lots of machines.

Might be good as a second opinion off a +ve Avacta test for public test centers.

They pushed the at work thing but I think they know it means health company turns up rather than Bob who used to be in St Johns as a kid doing the test.

Also 20 quid a test but how much does one machine cost?

Cool that so much is being done, but not really much info. RD, half baked story, pls do better.
