Check this out. Denmark already have the covid passport. An app to show a negative antigen test within 72 hours, proof of a previous infection from between 2 weeks or a few months ago and/or vaccination. The report from yesterday says that the EU are introducing it by the end of June.

1. Avacta CE Mark before the end of April. Will they be in a position to comment on their plans for production and distribution? Is ODX in the mix of additional manufacturing agreements mentioned in today's Avacta RNS?
2. Mologic tech transfer. Also due within the next week or so.
3. Decision on government contract or contracts. If production is required for 2 million a week by the end of May as stated in the DHSC press release this has to be confirmed before the end of May at the latest. The roadmap review is set for two weeks before the June 21st proposed end of lockdown.
4. Decision on 'fit to fly certificates' or so called 'covid passports' confirming vaccination status and negative antigen/or positive antibody status- due by the end of May. Implications for best in class lfts for both antigen and antibody tests are for massive demand in the UK. The world will follow. MHRA approval for the ABC19 test is extremely likely if this is given the green light. 98.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity puts this test on a par with PCRs.
5. News on progress of the 5 pilots for mass gatherings for major sports/ arts events will start between now and finish around the FA Cup final.
6. Increasing promotion of free lfts will have to feature reassurance about the new generation of lfts. Imho this will be front and centre of the next phase of public health messaging.
Next few weeks should be good. Top up opportunities- Directors selling time limited share options as they become due. The Good Law Project taking the DHSC to court over Abingdon Health could present a sudden dip if it hits the headlines. I think the government will win the case though.

Yep. Johnson's on TV now. First out of the block- please keep using the free, rapid lfts and making sure your children use them twice a week. The roadmap is on track. We are sticking to it.
Dr Nikki Kanani is emphasising the vaccination progress. She finishes by reminding us to play our part with getting vaccinated and getting tested.

So sticking to the roadmap means regular testing for everyone. It means the pilot of big events from the FA semi finals (already happened)and the final in May, to the Snooker championships, festivals etc.
Questions: Red list for travel. India?
The JVC make decisions if countries have a variant of concern. At the moment in India the variant in India is being assessed. We have identified 100 cases through surge testing. India is now on the red list.
Anyway- tune in guys and gals. For me this confirms the direction of travel for a long-term commitment to testing for the UK and across the globe. ODX will do very well imho.
Over and out from me for today.

The sp is falling because PIs think news might be delayed and they may be looking at other short term opportunities. It's nothing to do with Lev's 3 crows on a sitting bull at sunset ffs. Any excuse for human beings to sign up for a bit of fatalism.
I think we could fall a bit more so I have held off another big buy for now. I also think that Johnson's press conference tonight could give us a bit of impetus if he emphasises lfts. Either way these fluctuations are very temporary. We should know that by now. At long last we can smell the rocket fuel. Won't be long. I have put more money into this share than I ever have in a single share before. Those selling now will regret it badly in the very near future imo. But either way-
GLA.

OK. He's got form then.

Tsales, This is the subject of their RNS and first paragraph, copied and pasted. It says they plan to begin commercial rollout in Europe in May.
'Completing the technical data set for self-declaration of a CE mark for professional use in early May, followed immediately by commercial launch in Europe

Avacta Group plc (AIM: AVCT), the developer of diagnostics and innovative cancer therapies based on its proprietary Affimer® and pre|CISION™ platforms, is pleased to announce positive data from the clinical validation of its AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 antigen lateral flow test. Data from the clinical study conducted in Europe on 98 positive COVID-19 samples demonstrate excellent performance in identifying the SARS-CoV-2 virus across a broad range of viral loads. These data will now be combined with stability and other performance data from ongoing studies to finalise the technical file for CE marking the AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 antigen lateral flow test for professional use, allowing the Company to begin commercial roll-out in Europe in May'.

Davand. Yep. The DHSC press release says that GAD and ODX will be making 2 million tests a week by the end of May to be precise. We'll get the heads up on what's happening a long way before the end of May. The PR is starting now from government. Check this out from yesterday:

Han**** was retweeting this DHSC press release last night. I am pretty sure that's what tonight's press conference will be about.

Tsales. Well that's not what their RNS says is it? It says completing tech transfer and CE mark in early May followed immediately by commercial roll out in Europe. So do you think they are lying to the market?
I'm thinking they aren't lying to the market and that they have everything set up so that this closely watched super test can go large asap. The world knows about this test. They are on the PATH WHO list of tests in the pipeline. So is Mologic of course. Certainly that's why Avacta's sp is up 11% today. ODX will start marching forwards as soon as there's a hint that we're making it, assuming we are. Which is a very strong possibility.

Is no-one interested in Avacta's test then? 100% sensitivity from infectious people and 98% vs PCRs. Ready by early May. I wonder whether Johnson will have something to say about it tonight at 5pm. More importantly I wonder whether we will be producing it from our government contract?
I'm guessing today's big pest of the day is Twatcher because I can see that quite a few people are engaging with him. Fair enough. We already know that this strange man took the trouble to share data from Twitter last year, that had been doctored to distort the views of Liverpool City council from 'very positive' about the lft pilot to a negative view. So he thinks he's an arch manipulator. He was caught out pretty much immediately. And continued to protest his innocence to this board for hours and hours. I've filtered him because it's better for my blood pressure. But I guess it's good that people challenge him if you can be bothered. As has also been suggested, constant, repetitive posts can be reported for being disruptive and LSE should take his posts down.
Wondering whether to jump in again with the rest of my ISA allowance? Lol. You are all meant to jump in at this point and say: 'No Tricky, you greedy barsteward!
Leave some for the newbies!'

DHSC are tweeting their own press release. Published late afternoon today. Tweeted tonight.

Redboy33, thx for letting us know. Interesting. That explains the radio silence on this then.

*retweeting

Matt Han**** is retreating the DHSC tweet on this now. Is there a government press conference tonight or something? The next review is due at the end of April for the May 17th next level of the roadmap.

Updated today. Check it out. An lft negative test will be required for attendance. A PCR before and after will also be required to feed into research. This will be the pattern to get us out of lockdown and keep us out of lockdown. The best lfts and the best PCRS for double checking research and for double checking positive results and for all hospital patients ( we have a backlog of millions of operations to catch up on atm) and for travelling overseas.

Updated today. Big events including the FA Cup- everyone will be required to take an lft and show a negative result. Vaccine status will not be required. Check it out.

Hey Craig, I will email you too. Thought I would share my question to reduce duplication. Is ODX going to comment formally on Mologic's update about being fast tracked on the US NIH scheme to support faster EUA approval? What are the implications for opening ODX up to the US market from this news? Thx again, Tricky

I am pleased about this morning's RNS. I am sure we'll get some UK orders. GDR is going to make some serious money for all of us with the tiny mcap here.

Mikodox, I think you are getting Benny Hill mixed up with er.. yourself! Lol.

Is my buy. An extra 21000 shares. Thx mms ;)

Put a couple of buy limit orders on for my main account and my ISA. My filters take a moment to kick in when I log into share chat. So today I was treated to the spectacle of don't be JAdam revelling in his notoriety as a massive ********. How nice!
It's been a long wait but we have to be close to the mother of all RNS' now. Mologic's fast track through the US regulatory process with backing all the way by the US NIH (as if the UK NICE authority were helping it get through the MHRA). And/or confirmation of a UK contract for up to £374 million! Maybe a comment on the sales and distribution plans for the US? I am hoping it will be a nice easy contract with the US government.
GLA!
