Just caught up with today’s posts, It’s made a refreshing change to follow a mainly intelligent conversation debated by mature adults for once this evening, much better than the ‘one line day trader’ rubbish that clogs up this and most other boards during trading hours.
At the risk of repeating myself, I’m of the humble opinion that the best moral and financial route to take would be for Novacyt to issue licences to the top ten major pharmas in the world, Pfizer, Roche, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Sanofi, Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca, allowing them to produce under patent their no.1 assay ‘Primerdesign‘ test.
This would provide the quickest pathway to satisfy the world-wide clamour for the most reliable test available on the market. Having one standardised internationally recognised test would save many more lives and provide vital data to healthcare professionals around the world to accurately track the spread/ containment of the virus.
How much would such a licence cost? Several posters this week have used the word ‘exponential’ in regard to the future share price. The dictionary definition is ‘of an increase, becoming more and more rapid’. I wouldn’t argue with that, but in such a unique and terrifying situation it’s just not possible to predict with any accuracy.
During last few days we have seen on this board share price forecasts ranging anywhere from £5 - £32. Don’t forget to factor in the shananigans of the mms when using your counting beads. Even if this excellent minnow of a company lifted itself onto the FTSE 250 these people would still play games with the daily share price.
Believe it or not, but I’m no longer focusing on the share price, that will take care of itself over the coming months. I just want to see world leaders form a cohesive plan that will contain and eventually eradicate this plague and it’s obvious to any individual with average intelligence that the way forward is to provide the world with as many reliable test kits as soon as possible.
We’ve seen how the developed world has failed miserably to cope with this pandemic, I dread to think of the scenes we will have to endure on our screens when CV-19 takes hold in the third world.
PS – Most of this post also applies to the SNG board, here’s hoping that their trial is also successful, then the NHS can begin to get on top of this terrible virus.
