Nice write up here and concludes "If this trial demonstrates safety and immunogenicity, hVIVO will then support Codagenix as it moves into a larger phase two and phase three programme."

Does anyone have any specific thoughts on, if first trial is successful how this will play out. i.e approx. timelines to market

And do you think OO will see this through trial 2 and trial 3 with Codagenix, as the article states and if so what value, if successful
or ,
Would OO strike a deal with Codagenix and allow them to take it through the following trials alone.

Still trying to get my head around the multitude of different opportunity's near term and longer term here.
Thanks' in advance
Vas.

Someone e mail Colin King the Huffington link - just so he cant come out on Monday with a speeding ticket lol

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/super-fast-coronavirus-tests-five-23533011

Don't forget to post that link at 8am on Monday morning - we will all "like it "so to ensure it gets top post for the day.

"Omega Diagnostics in Scotland has been selected by the government to manufacture the British tests, along with Mologic spin-off Global Access Diagnostics."

Its a done deal as far as ODX is concerned as we manufacture whatever tests is approved. for the UK Government.

sorry £1 million order.

If you look here and note we have only received the RNS this week regarding Antibody Tests
You will find that during this month ( first two weeks of February) up until today. There have been 4 tenders that have been advertised and won for Antibody Rapid Flow Tests. These are
Abbots Rapid Response = £62 million
Una Health £750,000
Una Health £13 million
SD Biosensor = £7.3 million
So antibody tests are being consumed at a certain rate in the UK, and their tenders are increasing - I think for community surveillance testing.
Therefore, surely we can now compete and win a few tenders for our selves. I would have thought sometime this month, or next we will start landing some regular decent sized contracts. Then their is the rest of the world that the Consortium are also chasing.
https://bidstats.uk/tenders/?q=diagnostic+kits&scope=keyfields#745340927-744095940-62

I read a similar report from another source and noted the date, but thought it was a mistake.

Here it is again from the Bank of Scotland - also published Today.

It seems the £1 million order for antibody tests that has been hanging around for ages, is now live! and the UK Rapid Test Consortium Antibody contract started on Tuesday, following the RNS?

I must be slow, but that never occurred to me.

Question How much do you think DHSC contracts can transform Omega Diagnostics?
Answer) It is not our place to provide a statement on specific future prospects for revenue prior to confirming orders and quantities, but with government support for our increased production and lateral flow test production in the United Kingdom. A recent official statement by the UK Government on (Target 2m Industry-Wide Day) shows that there is a clear projected demand for these tests.

On the 15th February 21 , only a few days ago in Consultancy Today , this article was published
" Government and PA select three rapid Covid-19 test producers. The UK Government has selected three British companies for a contract to manufacture up to 2 million rapid Covid-19 tests per day. The selection process was overseen by PA Consulting. PA (along with ) the Department of Health choose Omega Diagnostics, SureScreen and Global Access Diagnostics as its producers. "

Colin King was quoted as saying - "Omega CEO Colin King said in a statement, “We are delighted to formalise our relationship with the UK government, and to utilise our lateral flow test production capacity to support the Covid-19 mass testing programme being rolled out across the country. These are very exciting times for the business and I am delighted that we can play a part in supporting the UK government’s national effort to control the spread of the coronavirus"

This quote was made the day after the majority of the directors sold some of their options.

Its very hard to imagine that the Directors sells are related to future performance once you read the very bullish statements to the press recently made by CK about progress towards 2 million tests Per week, the massive increase in new employees to handle the massive escalation on production and the extending of the building work extension to make room for all the equipment , storage and new employees.....all of this has been highly bullish, which makes a few director share sales even more salient than normal, but the news being put out by the company is full on bullish, has no negatives what so ever.....so i say, its one of those things BUY

so good i said it thrice....

maybe another at 2pm, tad more positive?

Do we have another at 2pm, maybe a tad more posative?

Do we have another more positive at 2pm?

Monday is the big launch, lots of leaks over the weekend and lots of questions will be asked and answered on Monday and beyond....
If you just look at the timeline now its getting amazingly close. Boris new launch on Monday will begin in earnest on March 1st, with 400,000 per day EXTRA TESTS being circulated on top of what tests are already being issued - then a ramp up...so ODX could well contribute during March as they ramp up their production to 2 million per week in April.

The clock starts from Monday IMO, this roll out of LFTs is big part of Governments attempt to open up the UK economy, iim sure they will throw everything at it - but in stages, and the RFTs will direct which regions, industry's are regularly tested to ensure they remain open and safe. The week ahead we should discover the whole picture regarding the UK Governments ambitions and specifically where ODX's fits in with the bigger picture.

The Government is reportedly preparing to launch a new testing campaign called "Are you ready? Get testing. Go", which will see NHS Test and Trace post more than 400,000 LFDs to homes and workplaces every day from next month.

They mostly all hold far more shares than they sold accept Rhodes who sold out.....and the shares that they continue to hold could be worth 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 times their worth today if held until this time next year....could the sales this week be some way of managing their liability's next year....just a thought, i'm not an accountant - in case you have not noticed.

Event Description:

The UK is planning a COVID-19 human challenge trial— a study in which volunteers will be deliberately exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the virus and quickly test vaccines. Some have argued that we no longer need these trials given that several vaccines have been approved, while others have maintained that challenge trials are an essential tool in our fight against the virus.

In this panel of leading experts on human challenge trials, we will discuss the role of COVID-19 human challenge trials at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Open Orphan and hVIVO should get a big mention during this discussion.

IMO whenever they chose to sell there would be an outcry, if they had waited until confirmation of news and the SP was on a rise and then decided to sell....we would be answering the same questions as we are today ....whatever they do they will be criticized.

I said this at the time and still think it could be true, that the last sales ( which were in a group, hence organised) was an organised attempt to show some solidarity with PIs, and they sold under the same circumstances and same available news as we do. Only to release the following day a long waited brilliant confirmatory RNS.
This sale as the others will be forgotten soon when the next RNS is released
