17million free to pass on, plus many more even if vaccinated will need re-vaccinating as the previous jab wears off. That means more antibody testing required in addition to antigen. So feasibly 25million people at any given time, free to spread and that's not including approx 40million annual visitors to the country as travel restarts.

Just got in to Odx this week. Looking forward to the ride.

Complete and utter b0ll0x, you don't own a single share Sangi. Nice try

Full clinical valuation will be achieved very soon. This is real people, real world setting and can't be argued with. CE marking will be granted and every lfd manufactured will be sold. It's very interesting that the Innova lfd has not achieved fda approval but is selling everything and massively expanding manufacturing capability.

Would be interested in thoughts on who the other UK organisations could be. And we still don't know which test Odx will be manufacturing. All very intriguing

And it's super-fast.

No other test comes near 5mins for results.

Can see global demand for these tests and every single one manufactured will be sold

Thanks Malachai. We're confident we can host the Euro's because vaccinations is going well but there's no way we'd risk it without mass testing. Sunday Times has the same cover story without mentioning testing. We'll definitely learn more from bojo tomorrow

Ready, test, go!

Wyndrum, if you ran a country or a large company, would you take the risk of not testing because we now have a vaccine? Of course you wouldn't. We are in completely new and unchartered territory so this government will not take the risk. Its that simple. One mutation and the country could be on it's knees again, exactly back to where we were in December.

Too many unknowns out there to take risks by not mass testing. The biggest being we don't really know how long people will be immune for following vaccination. How long before people need a new version? How long will new versions take to deploy?

1. Global market place
2. Not everyone the in the UK will choose to be vaccinated
3. Will our borders be closed for the next 5 years?
4. Will vaccines be effective against variants and mutations?
5. Will workplaces take the risk?
6. What's the cost of another lockdown?

I'm keeping the thinking simple here.. Will Avacta be £1bn mc? Yes of course it will and it'll continue to grow from there. I'll keep adding.

The imminent covid market opened up through lfd's and Bams is beyond massive. I really can't seem many selling for under £3. I mean c'mon, why would you?

Avacta and this government won't quit on the saliva test. It's the true end game, just trickier obviously to get it perfect but it will happen

And it's additionally good news in that the other version continues to be worked on

BBC and ITV will get a hold of the news following Bojo's speech Monday evening. Then a RNS or two out Tuesday morning...

I'll be topping up Monday, thanks. Gla.

So now we know that Avacta's test is completely unique: highly accurate and truly rapid at between 5 and 10 minutes.

Who else thinks the test could be run in UNDER 5 mins?

No other test will come close to this (current or future) and that's down to one thing only... Affimers. Its no wonder then that Avacta are partnering with Mologic and the government are fully in support.

Is it us? It always was

We heard from Mologic that clinical validation studies will start (or have already) started ABROAD...

"Clinical evaluation of the lateral flow test is currently being carried out at a hospital in mainland Europe and Avacta will shortly initiate further clinical validation studies in the UK and abroad."

Yes agree but not too late to get back in next week. Monday will just be the start with plenty more to come here over the next weeks and months
