Importance of test16 Feb 2021 18:35
One thing I keep seeing overlooked is how important it will be to quickly adapt this test to be able to detect mutations and variants. Clearly covid is still incredibly active and we will see sadly see variants of covid for possibly a decade or more.. the importance of rapid testing will be ESSENTIAL for the human race to function at a level people can live with long term. Attending events, going to the pool or gym, boarding a flight etc etc, even just to use at home like you would a thermometer. Flu is common now, we can live with it, it’ll be a while until we hopefully can get Covid to be seen this way. People don’t want to be muzzled and neither do children, many will grow weary of masks, and it’s not currently environmentally friendly either.. the amount of masks I see discarded in nature disgusts me! humans need a reality check in that sense. But the fact is if we are one of the companies getting rapid testing to the world then that alone is worth a considerable amount. Casper has thrown some £5-£15 valuations around, I don’t know how the company will evolve if this test comes good, or really good. But currently, as it stands, with things as they are and a successful test revealed, well some of those higher predictions will be coming.. time will tell. We shall know very soon, let’s hope it’s a green light.
