Ben Richardson, CEO at SulNOx, confident they can cost-effectively decarbonise commercial shipping. Watch the video here.
Just wondered
Is there a list of actual countries Ncyt supply to ?
Looking at whats going on in the rest of the world, I can see their sales climbing even more now.
Wouldnt be surprised if some Govs are starting to stock pile tests( depending on self life) and increase orders for second waves if they ever get out of the first.
Hi Whatnonewsyet
David Davis on Peston tonight was going on about the failings in testing and the gov not using commercial testing companies quickly enough. He compared us to the US who since ramping up the use of private companies, have been able to increase testing massively.
I think we ll start to see large companies doing what some German engineering companies are doing by testing their own staff each week and sending swabs to private labs for quick results or buying mobile testing equipment themselves as it evolves.
I can see testing ramping up more in the next year .
Personally I dont think we ll get out of the first wave never mind a second, the way it going.
That was so informative. Thanks for posting.
Think we ll see a big spike end of the summer when the winter pressures start to hit, people return to work /school and travel starts.
Testings going to be around for years world wide until we see how vaccines work. Even then it may be endemic
Chinas also finding some people are still testing +ve 70 days from initally getting C19 so have to remain in isolation until they have a clear test.
Way I see it is there plenty of room for all companies making tests globally esp with demand out stripping supply.

Read an article the other day from China and they were finding some people are taking over 70 days and longer to get rid of the virus. They needed multiple tests to see if they were clear and having to remain in isolation until negative.
I m surprised we dont retest to see if a persons negative the same way we do MRSA screening.
I work as a nurse in the Cornish hospital and we re worried sick about a second spike if they lift restrictions as we ll never cope. I dont think they ve cancelled Boardmasters yet and hotels are booked up for August. Testings still slow down here
There needs to be. To use a test that takes 3 days to get a result when theres one that gives it in 2 hrs is beyond me. Then to reduce testing in March apart from pts in hospital allowed it to take hold and not track it properly. Even that Prof said we had the lab capacity. Should have been doing what Germany are doing and test as many people as possible and keep testing..... anyway rant over
Why on earth didnt they use Nova s test straight away when it was CE marked. Its so annoying esp working in the NHS and you could get a result back in 2 hrs for staff and pts .
Just spoke to an American and asked if they had to pay for Covid testing. He said yes $3400 !!
Apparently they're discussing with insurances on wavering or them covering cost and Gov covering testing for the 27 million Americans with no insurance.
Apparently they haven't enough tests for suspected cases.
Probably fully aware. Atm I think theyre using the test WHO suggested and sent to test centres for research on virus genetic makeup. I think if the virus increases they ll use quicker tests to track and isolate people fast. Imo
I booked in for mine at Boots. Cant get it at the GP even though Im Asthmatic !!. Reckon my unit at the hospital will closed and we ll all be back on the wards when it hits.
Chief medical officers just said using “diagnostics” is one of the most important things to contain the virus atm. Esp diagnosing people who have no symptoms.
It isnt. H1N1 was like this with movement of people.

Hi Im new to the group. Only a small time investor, in it for the long haul and in healthcare so quietly stalking the threads googling the jargon.
Looking at the Current situation I would hope the FDA would approve all companies applying for product approval as its now a global emergency. I m also surprised its not been done sooner esp as the Novacyt test is quick and appears user friendly.
I think the way its going the demand for any test could out strip supply if they re not careful.
I would also think they have to be very careful what they report /update as the situation is changing rapidly and Id imagine they d be in talks daily with health officials but maybe not disclosing everything.
