Hope they burn!

Oh yes they are! Sharehunter3 makes sure they are. No harm In that. Anyway with all the publicity re Cambridge Uni, AstraZeneca, GSK and little NCYT why would they not be?!

What does Dylan think? Has he been following Qiagen / TF deals, like a good son. We have make sure his future is secured so wouldn’t want a cheap buyout.

Oh for a US OEM deal!

Hey Chrishar, we are waiting for good news. Fingers crossed, this company has done extremely well and paid off debts, great products, great worldwide network, great exposure with big pharma and responding to the market pretty quickly.

Really ! Duhhhh

Just had a quick look at the bid stats and noticed the millions getting spent on PPE, there are some big numbers for testing about to drop. Brace yourself Sheila!

Someone trying to keep the price down! Or is it Dylan :-)

Guys, if the government has abandoned NCYT then there is no reason for them to block a potential buyout by a foreign pharma! The real issue here is the award to companies with unproven products and the potential to repeat the Randox fiasco. If there is skulduggery going on then I hope the journos unearth and expose any corruption. Clearly the incumbent party has managed to sidestep a number of banana skins. Bcxxx will bumble through this as well. He has been to the Trump school of bull ****. On the other hand we may be overacting and great news will land in the next few days!

Bargain for the government!

Playing into hands of shorters! Hold tight!

Government procurement ethics - there aren’t any. We will get a slice of the £5b pie. The main concern I have is that testing on a grand scale using tests that have no validation will place our lives at risk. We have already had the Randox fiasco. Hope serious questions are asked.

Extract from Grauniard - Prof Deeks said he and colleagues had not come across either of the new tests. “We cannot emphasise how important it is to see independent evaluations of all tests before they are implemented. Both of these technologies are new, and it is unclear what evaluations have been done. We cannot find any independent studies or even claims about their performance on the company websites. They are not listed on the main international lists of available and approved tests.”

Guardian article worth a read! Government pushing ahead with unproven technology- claimed by health care professionals. Snouts in the trough. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/03/coronavirus-90-minute-tests-to-be-provided-in-care-homes-and-hospitals?

Fits with the testing in care homes to be delayed until September. Good one VanV

I totally respect your views. Your mum is a very fortunate lady. My adult offspring are very responsible too but the pressures on them must be immense, this is the prime time of their lives to meet and interact with others.

Chrishar, I meant to say that the last para of your post applies to wife and I.
‘This way, during a flair up, the most vulnerable can be protected and only those that live and interact with them would be asked to lockdown once again.’ This all very well but the opening of pubs and eateries means my adult ‘children’ will go out to these places and can say they shouldn’t. The need social contact! This is going to prove difficult for many families. I remain sceptical of the easing of lockdown and the re-introduction of constraints that are far from simple to implement. As I said before we have protect ourselves as best we can.

Chrishar, agreed, providing the young folk remain vigilant! Seen enough to realise that some people are not tuned into the risk of infection.

The latest suggestion for over 50 year olds to stay indoors whilst the younger ones go out to work and drive the economy is ill thought out. Young folk living with 50 year olds will potentially bring the virus the home! Sorry but the rules are daft! Mixed messaging. You simply have to protect yourself. Drink the best wine you can afford!
