All about cv19. Discussed lateral flow tests just now. 400,000 tests a day will be carried out from now on. Do the maths. ODX, preferred supplier for antigen lfts and antibody lfts. They will sell everything they make before they make it. Or you could take investment advice from 'Sneaky Simon', 'Twatcher ' or JAdam. Lol. GLA.

Filtered Sneaky. If we get any part of the antibody test? We are part of the RTC and we have agreement to provide 25% of any order.
The Huff Post on Monday 22nd has yet another follow up story to say that we will be manufacturing either or both of Avacta and or Mologic tests according to their sources to entirely replace Innova tests. My guess is that they know more than Sneaky Simon. The clue on his intention is in his name. Not worth engaging with him.

Freddie boy, good simile! Must try not to let that one slip out when I talk to my mum. Made me lol.

I put check out the RNS' in the title of this thread because if everyone read them then they would know we will get massive news here anytime. Then we might not be subject to the daily drivel from numpties ...oh hang on..

I really hope no-one is taking advice from you SneakySimon. We most certainly have had news in the last few weeks as anyone who reads the RNS' and watches the press briefings for cv19 can see very clearly. ODX have signed a contract with the government - to make rapid lateral flow tests (RNS 11th February). This week we heard about the government's roadmap out of lockdown. Featuring mass testing at scale, repetitively in numerous workplaces, educational settings and social spaces: NHS; care homes; universities and schools; businesses and local communities. We have heard those new generation lateral flow tests will be sent out to people to use at home which means they will be MHRA approved for home use. ODX are tweeting that the lateral flow antibody tests will be available through pharmacies. The roadmap specifies that a huge pilot will be set up in April to trial use of lfts to open up sports and social events with a view to allowing big events again by June. Lfts will be used to suppress outbreaks for several years. So we have had quite a lot of news this week haven't we?
Hani, we are subject to an NDA. You know this. Why are you asking questions to which you already know the answer?

POC evaluation and CE mark are expected in Q1 2021. So anytime in the next 4 weeks. Don't be caught out trading. Better to get your buys in. Or there could be tears at bedtime for a long time. Opportunity like this don't come knocking every day. Wait for the iis to get in first and you are waiting for £2.00. All you traders need to learn to think big. Give yourself a break and make some proper money. GLA.

Pis buy millions of shares every day. We are an army of hot money.

CWalsh, iis have to announce to the broker when they reach certain thresholds. Then it can take another couple of days for the market to be advised.

Sally26, I also noticed that trend- consistently shows double the buys to sells with healthy volumes even when the price is dropping. I suspect that it's partly about the mms injecting some liquidity by taking a buy or a sell sometimes without a buyer or seller and partly that there are a lot of day traders on Aim. They have no real interest in the share so if there's news and they get left behind they just move onto something else from the leaders board. They just aim for tiny profit margins. I suspect a lot of them barely make any money. But they can impede the progress of a share between news. That's why some people call them 'bottom feeders'.

Will share key extracts tomoz. Going to grab a bit of sun on this lovely day. See there's a few new trolls come out to play. Is it time to start reporting them? We've had great news in the last two weeks and it's hard for actual investors to have a conversation with them crawling all over the site. I think people will end up leaving the site. We're on the cusp of big things. GLA.

I promised to share this document. Well worth a read. I will share relevant key extracts here too.
My general observations which are relevant for investors are:
* The roadmap sets out specific details about the government's plan to get us out of lockdown and to get the economy and society working again taking our health and well being and children's education into account.
1. The section on test, trace and isolate shows that the government intend to deliver an intensive approach to regular mass testing (twice and three times weekly)including making lateral flow tests (available by post and in testing centres and businesses, workplaces etc) to communities, school children, students, care workers, NHS workers, care home residents and all those receiving care support in their homes and businesses to take home- between now and the end of June.
2. Ongoing testing is required and will be prepared for in tandem with local authorities to suppress outbreaks quickly wherever they may occur. Vaccine effectiveness will continue to be monitored.
3. The UK has delivered more vaccinations than any other country except Israel- by some way. We are at 26% compared to the next highest proportion of people vaccinated in any one country which is the US at 10%. Other countries are then dramatically lower in single figures as a proportion of their populations atm.
4. There will be a big testing pilot delivered from April 12th to assess the safety of large events. That will inform decisions on whether it is safe to proceed to the stated intention to allow big events from May-June 21st.
5. Vaccines are highly effective in reducing mortality and hospitalisation from the disease and they could be achieving 75% reductions in transmission. The roadmap recognises clearly that vaccines will not eliminate the disease.
6. There is an intention to continue to monitor for the forseeable future cv19 and 'variants of concern' and to activate test, trace and isolate plans in each case or take other actions if necessary .
7. There is a serious commitment to sharing vaccines, treatment and diagnostics through the G7 for developing countries.
8. Testing is likely to replace self isolation for international travel in the future if the ongoing review of this supports it. N.B. The UK market for international travel has plummeted this year from about 100 million to 2 million.
9. Additional funding for £400 million will be added to a budget outstanding for 2020-21 for next year to create a budget of £2billion for testing going forward. This is supported by a new action plan and this will be published in March.

Plausible theory Badmashy. GDR could be a classic candidate for buyout offer/s. Or some other reason that it's considered commercially sensitive atm? They don't want to reveal the size of their pricing policy until they start selling?

It's only a phase 1 trial. Mologic or Avacta or Surescreen will already have hit the streets by then. Mologic and Avacta also have 10 and 5 minute saliva antigen tests, respectively with similar findings but they are close to completing evaluation and are poised for commercialisation.
The UK are buying British. And so will lots of other countries all things being equal.

Absolutely MB. The fact that they have done this research at Birmingham does suggest that they want to know the capabilities of using the test with vaccines. The results are top dog so it's looking likely that they have some sort of a plan. Could it be that the RTC were telling the absolute truth when they said that the tests were developed with this as a driver? Lol. We'll soon find out. Ready, steady, test anyone?

Good study from Queen's university.

True Bushmaster, NCYT are fabulous. But they won't be able to compete with the ABC19 on the antibody lft. They have only just started trials. I mentioned it because it's a fantastic endorsement for the ABC19 test which does exactly what they are now developing. It shows there will be a big market. I think they will approve it for home use before the Summer.
We'll soon see. When they launch the new testing campaign.

Interesting RNS from NCYT. Their future research projects include the development of an IG antibody test which measures the neutralising antibodies to help with monitoring vaccination. Umm. I think they missed the bus on that one!

Sorry. Spellchecker!

Interesting posts today from Brighty, Bushmaster and Regulator drawing attention to the contract which of course must be fully disclosed to the market at some point. So B, B and R are saying (I will check myself tomorrow) but they are saying that the advice is the contract must be fully disclosed within 30 days- R says 20 days if there's no challenge raised. I assume the regulations Regulator has referenced is 20 working days, (but I will check myself as is always advisable for anything we hear on social media). 30 days/20 working days from 11th February, RNS date to advise the market of the contract is 11th March. At the latest. And the roadmap refers to further details to be published about the testing program - this also announces another £400 million for testing for next years budget. So that will be announced in the budget next week almost certainly. £400 million is easily enough to get a budget mention and they are still spending £5.7 million between now and May, that was allocated for this year. So they could be lining up a lot of contract announcements to get some media focus on new generation testing to aim to ensure some public confidence and buy in for the test and trace programme going forward.
So my assumption is that we should hear what they have agreed so far on the ODX contract in detail by 11th March at the latest. And we will hear more detail on tests in the budget next week and in the next iteration of the roadmap with a focus on testing plans.
I might not post every day now. I have not turned into a Russian doll troll. Lol. I am buying. GLA.

Surely no-one gives a crap what JAdam is saying anymore? The only thing he was good at was 1. Financial appraisal- so he knows what the prize is here which makes his about turn super duper untrustworthy 2. He was chief troll basher. Now he's the bloody Russian doll of all trolls.
Mostly he's embarrassing himself badly because he's underestimating us so badly. He was a good troll basher. A bit over enthusiastic imo. 'Bedwetters'? While he was selling. Nice. Homophobic slurs aimed at Regulator? Load of Hooray Henry *******s that. Showing his age and his ignorance. Did he engage in the argument to take the trolls or anyone deramping down? Not often no.
He's raised an issue which is obviously pants. He don't trust CK. The contract won't be worth 'owt. I prefer to start a conversation about the contract on a separate thread. It deserves a moment but in a positive context.
Apart from that he's trying to equate the sp falling due to a bit of confusion about the vaccine success as many have rightly observed, and mms taking advantage of that with him selling £60k worth of shares. OMG. My legs are in the air! The level of ego right there...Jesus.
