Good post Grimshady. Thanks for sharing those insights into the regulatory process. I checked the US FDA board for EUA the other day and there were 90 applications in progress, only 5 approved.
But Genedrive are certainly on the list of submissions with permission to sell to labs performing 'complex ' tests- H status. They will be on the case and the BC connection won't exactly do us any harm if the US are buying American. At the end of the day GDR are one of only 4 PCR tests with the very fastest production capacity. And their tests need less of some of the crucial components which are in short supply. They will be thinking strategically about efficiency and efficacy combined. GDR offers that. We will get approval and it can come anytime.
In the meantime Johnson is speaking next week to review the roadmap. It is very likely that testing will be on the agenda. The deadline for the UK lateral flow tests tender for £8 billion is next Wednesday. Even if the focus is on lfts, they are doing 1 million PCR tests a day. That could increase as travel overseas picks up. There will be a lot of coverage of tests and plenty of conversation about the different roles of PCR and lfts. The UK government will also want the new generation of PCRs. And they have a stated preference to buy British. I think this month will see a strong recovery.
When some of you guys spend all day moaning and accusing everyone who feels positive about their investment of 'mindless ramping' it doesn't make those of us who are still buying feel as inclined to do so. Not that I take advice from those concerned or anyone else really, but it's off putting because I know it's a complete turn off for new investors. They and us, are what will pick the sp up. So you are effectively undermining your own investment. Yep. Talking to you too Guy Incognito.
