True RNmyS. Not much in it between them and the Visitect test though hey? 98% sensitivity vs 97.4%. Both of them are close to a PCR and both ostensibly meet MHRA criterion. But the Visitect test has been much more scrutinised by independent experts and with much larger cohorts. They are certainly the two fastest tests to process and so far, the easiest and most comfortable to use. No brain ticklers or tonsil grabbers. Accessibility will be key to the widespread adoption we are looking for. ODX might need a bigger boat ;)

If we have capacity to test every adult twice a week it suggests that someone is stockpiling already doesn't it? I think the small print of that contract suggests ODX have already done tech transfer. What does 'pre-production' activity mean otherwise? I must admit I would have preferred more transparency about what is going on but I will not be surprised to hear that we are ready to hit the ground running to coincide with the next phase of the roadmap from May 17th.

MHRA decision time. Mologic's rapid antigen test or Avacta's. Or both for home use approval. Avacta says they have the best but they only have a small test sample of 98 compared to Mologic's most recent 680 with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. And which test will the DHSC select for the big contract? Either, or both? ODX is making it anyway. Game on?

Lovely clear and coherent explanation of the contract from Shredz. Good bloke he is. Must admit I was pretty taken aback that the trolls and traders were getting my mileage whatsoever about the margins stated in this thread. Anyone who can read can see that the margin quoted for 18% is only applicable to the threshold required in 'phase 1' for the government claiming back a loan made for pre-production activities. It's nothing to do with the overall margin-which is redacted. Likely to be at least in line with our investor presentation but equally likely to be in line with the pricing policy of somewhere between £7-10 per test which Innova have reportedly received. We will soon have the whole story now. Hopefully most investors will read the contract for themselves and not listen to nonsense. Anyway, that's my tuppence worth for tonight. Laters everyone.

Will be the immediate catalyst for the sp tomorrow. Johnson will remind us that we should be taking 2 free lfts a week as we are now reminded on TV adverts, and today's Times Travel section, the Sun and the Mirror.
Anyone selling for a misjudged tweet should be prepared to be locked out. Loads of lths will stick a buy limit order on for mid-high 70s so if there's a drop there will be a bounce to follow.
I may or may not stick a buy limit order on. Depends if any of my other holdings have an RNS out. Everything will come together in the next few days now. Not before time. But this is the time to decide whether you're happy with your holding before it bags.

Well that's a pleasant start to a day that's set to continue because it looks like D Day is finally about to happen.
Off to do my civic duty and get my vote in. Labour voters hope you done yours too! Tories don't need to worry about it ;)

I think you have hit the nail on the head, Friutsandveg. Not all iis play a straight game. And we have a couple of big chess players, to use your analogy. Wish we knew how long they want to keep this up. Then we could take part in the game of chess! Lol. I am putting a buy limit order on for somewhere in the 90s to finish by close of play tomoz. To reduce my average.
Just need to look ahead - by the end of the month this will have fully recovered and it'll be cracking on turbo style.

Had a short on at 0.39% declared in January 2021. Short tracker don't continue to track once a fund has reduced below 0.5% except for recognising that the short fell below that threshold. I wonder if they are still in the mix? I wouldn't bother fighting with them. They are disgusting businesses who add no value but they will have a bottom in mind. They won't try to destroy the sp and they will let it bounce back ASAP. I am not buying more before Friday now. I have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better. Save your dosh and pile in when you can see the sales volume dwindling. Imho.

Loving the tweets from ODX tonight. If the pilot to reduce quarantine comes out well it's bonanza time for those of us who are really invested. 7 days of lfts for anyone who has had contact with anyone who catches cv19. Everyone checking in with the app every time we go to the pub, a gig, a restaurant etc etc. So much lft testing!
Meanwhile the Avacta board are discussing their CEO interview. He mentions an expected order for either 5 million or 30 million depending on whether they are part of the UK government contract. So they are all assuming the first government contract is for 30 million tests. £10 -12 each? Would be good hey?

At the moment we are in a state of 'purdah ' around significant news. Government and news agencies have to be careful about falling foul of election law so they are meant to be avoiding major announcements which could be seen as political and prejudice the elections on Thursday. On Friday we should have the roadmap review. The media will be full on about the plans for opening up everything. These plans include a new pilot to reduce quarantine by taking an lft test every day for 7 days if you have had contact with anyone who has contracted cv19. A PCR test will be required to confirm positive cases. If the pilot works this will be the model going forward. The results of the pilots for the world Snooker championship, the FA semifinal and the big club night/gig in Liverpool will also be covered. The role of PCRs and lfts will be common knowledge within days. The spotlight will be back on covid plays for investors. And the pressure will be on the regulators to focus on tests. The best tests. We need confidence to get back out there. I would see any dips as a very temporary experience. As is often the case, more buys than sells and we had a small drop. Market makers are not interested in our anxiety. They are interested in making money. Make sure it's not your money they are making. My guess is that the herd are on their way. GLA.

Roger65, filtered for talking ****e. Bye.

How is Budd silent? We had an RNS on Friday to confirm we have approval in India ffs? What do you want? An RNS every day?

Oh yeah. The UNICEF agreement is probably a precursor to a WHO approval imho.

Hmmm. I think you will find it is taking a long time for test approvals to be confirmed Guy. Public health regulators have been kinda busy. What with vaccines and PPE and lockdowns and that.

The 'Ministry of Health ' is actually Poland's MHRA equivalent.

So let's have a little round up of expected news. 1.Sales orders from approvals we already have:
From: South Africa; Poland; Thailand; India
2. Approvals expected: The European Union; the FDA
3. Big UK government order from framework contracts that GDR and BC (as lead for a group of suppliers) are listed on.
4. The new POC PCR development
5. AIHL introduction to the NHS
6. HCV for Hep C test
7. DoD sales and distribution
Is that it?
All due any old day of the week and any time.
GLA.

Level 2. It's already gone.

Whoever has a stop loss on for £1.16 at £15k needs to take it off. Mms are ducking down to get sells lower than that at the same time as sweeping up buys for £1.20. This is closing blue today with the volume and balance of buys to sells so that is a pretty dumb move.

I'm in with my ISA allowance. Been dithering about where to put it! What an opportunity!

Big Bench, you don't know owt about lfts clearly. The first version of Innova. which the government have been using from the off, weren't great but they were over 75% sensitive when used by the public. The newer versions are better. 98.7% is guess what? 98.7% accurate. Hardly anything is 100% perfect. The pill is 99.9% and it used to be a bit lower. You're showing yourself up a bit there mate. You don't need to say dumb arse things to promote GDR. 100% sensitive and specific is very rare. Until today GDR didn't know they were 100% sensitive. Lol.
