with report like this just out can see Discodaves investment going south again this week.Plan to end lockdown on 21 June should be delayed by a month, says government adviserA scientific adviser to the government has repeated calls to delay the 21 June lifting of pandemic restrictions by "a few weeks, probably a month", warning that the ability of coronavirus to adapt in the face of vaccines has still left the UK in a vulnerable position.Professor Ravi Gupta, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), told Sky News the June target is "a bit early" following the emergence of the Indian variant.He said people should not "underestimate" the virus's ability to mutate, "transmit faster in humans" and "adapt to what we are throwing at it"He said: "We have now the real risk of generalised transmission in young people who are not vaccinated, and of course school-age children and those who are vulnerable and who have not yet responded to the vaccine."Asked if the government should stick to its plan to end lockdown in England later this month, he said: "I think it's a bit early. We need at least a few weeks, probably a month until schools are closed, when the risk of transmission within schools falls during the summer holidays."It then gives us at least another four weeks of data to collect about how the virus is growing... and also how effective our vaccines are against this new virus. All of that information is coming in weekly and it will enable us to build up a better picture... maintaining the gains we have made."

When O'Shea says they will update on their long term strategy at interims does anyone have any views as to what change this could involve?....a rights issue possibly?, would be surprised tbh but O'Shea has already done a U turn on using divestments to pay down debt so who knows.

Did you see it bought NSF at over 6 on 14 May. Now it's 5.43? Oh dear. Another error of judgement. Loves losing money. Poor clever.

[disc0dave45] 01/6/2021 00:12

TBIYou are cleverinvester, so obvious.What's up, can't you handle the bear case, shows a lack of confidence in your own investment IMO.

[silverstool2] 31/5/2021 23:38

Diohihku, the only thing you've missed is the money you could've made on Saga (all the way from the 120s). Avoid this CNA dog. Down again tomorrow. And look at the mistake you made at ANIC, buying nearly 3p above the RI. Schoolboy error. The sooner the schools reopen the better.

[thebestinvestor] 31/5/2021 23:03

Discodave45 You have been exposed by others on the board.We are not interested in you or Clever Investor.Just clear off! The sooner the schools re-open the better.

[disc0dave45] 31/5/2021 12:29

That's only 0.07% of their customer base. Doesn't even move the dial in terms of them achieving net carbon zero by 2045. So they want the government to partially fund the transition?. Think OFGEM will have a different view.

[diohohku] 31/5/2021 12:08

Disco the only thing you've missed is the money you've lost on Saga. (398)

[disc0dave45] 31/5/2021 11:57

Thanks for info but can you explain why you think a guy reporting on charging his BG van will trend this to 58.05p?....or did the link also show some TA and I missed it, apologies if the latter is the case.

[diohohku] 31/5/2021 11:27

Live and let die.......disco aka (Sheriff pepper) Boy! Pmsl. Maybe Clint Eastwood?

[waldron] 31/5/2021 10:13

Perhaps this week CNA will trend towards 58.05p
