They don't need to disclose if they have less than 0.5%. We ain't got any disclosed shorts on ODX.

Is on now. Interesting. He has just confirmed that they are now doing 6 million tests a week. Higher than press coverage. H says they have worked hard to build a UK diagnostics industry but it wasn't there with capacity to deliver at scale last year.

Hmm. Not easy to share on my phone. Will post it after lunch. GLA

Link for the transcript of the parliamentary committee on covid certification- out now. Covid certification is coming across the EU on July 1st. The UK won't be left behind. I shared my summary of the meeting at the time. Read it for yourself now.

Gove advised the Select Committee for Health and Social Affairs the week before last that they would report to parliament this week on the covid certification scheme. Can't see the UK opting out when the EU are going live with it on July 1st.
And a decision on Monday regarding the roadmap should drive out uncertainty here imo. Whether we are going ahead or not they will be taking the opportunity to emphasise and promote the role of testing. I just hope the DHSC get on and make a decision on which test we are making. Crossing fingers it's either Mologic's or Surescreen's. Got a feeling the world could be waiting till the 12th of Never for Avacta's. A bit weird that they have implied they can sell without approval in the EU and the US. They both have rigorous assessment processes too.

Thx for sharing Megatro. Due for an answer today. He's asked what the value of Omega's contract is. They probably will answer that it's commercially sensitive as they did when there was a question on the number of tests provided by Innova. Though they did confirm the cost was £1 billion. So you never know.

The roadmap update is next Monday. The decision will be data led. Lfts are being used for surge testing and will continue to be used because we will be living with covid 19 for the foreseeable future. PCRs will be required for international travel. A decision on the covid certification scheme will be made.
Those are the key takeaways from the statement so far.
GLA.

Still looking at the covid certification scheme. PCRs will be used for international travel he says. He recognises that the market is incentivised to deliver cheaper PCRs. 4.35pm. Take a look at BBC Parliament.

Interesting information about HIV testing. The Guardian reported yesterday that Fauci wants to get back on top with HIV testing because HIV infection is growing worldwide and like many other diseases has been badly neglected in the last year.

ODX are making a test for government worth up to £374 million. They won't use all of their capacity to do so because they have told us they also expect to be making the ABC19 tests, Elisa antigen PCRs, and the Mologic Visitect test if that isn't selected for the government standard.
Gove said he would announce the decision this week, about the international covid certification scheme to include proof of vaccination, an antigen test or proof of immunity (through an antibody test).
It will all happen. The only reason to sell is if you are confident you can trade successfully for a lower buy in price. Risky. Especially if you have a large position.

Worth a read. Switzerland are going with covid certification to recognise people with vaccinations, a negative test or proof of immunity.

Omg, Jaceorge said something half good about his investment! Well done Jaceorge. Keep it up. Even if it's an accident. Lol.

Big Bangs, apologies! I mentioned you when I meant Bomber in the earlier conversation. Done my back in. Very distracting. Sos again.

Mikodox, I see you've sold again then. Hope you aren't going to start your usual crap at GDR too. Or are you still in there?

Looking likely. Unsurprisingly. The covid certification scheme will be decided upon, one way or another. It will require testing for international travel. The government don't want to take down the whole travel industry and they don't want to have to subsidise every job forever either. Testing will become routinely available within everyday working health and safety.
Genedrive are in prime position with a cheaper, faster, more efficient (less resource intensive + faster results) product and technology.
FDA will approve this month is my bet. And a UK order to follow. I will put money on it. Oh wait...Lol.

Thx TCO. Appreciated.

The Independent reported last night that the MHRA are reviewing the Innova licence. I can't share the article because it came out yesterday so I only have the Twitter link to the headline and introduction. The Twitteratti reckon it will be revoked. Has anyone got the article? Would be good to see for ourselves properly. Thx in advance.

With a lateral flow test pre-departure and a PCR on return. Hundreds of thousands of bookings have already been made. When restrictions are lifted this will rise to millions.

Lateral flow tests are under assessment pre-departure and PCR on return. Hundreds of thousands of bookings are already being made. The travel industry will start to get back on it's feet from the day restrictions are lifted. With testing to support it's progressive recovery.

Which will be rolled out to many more for a major launch scheduled for July 1st.
