Anita Goel: To support recovery from this pandemic, and to prevent future pandemics, we need to have a smarter quarantine system—instead of entire lockdowns on our economy—enabled by decentralized nanoprecision and even quantitative, real-time testing of COVID-19 and other biomarkers. There’s a Harvard University study that says it costs about $12 billion a day for America to have a lockdown.15 And it would cost Americans $20 million a day to test 6 percent of the population—roughly 20 million Americans—to effectively and safely reopen the economy—and keep it open.16

A smart quarantine system means we create COVID-19-free safety zones where we can guarantee individuals, families, and communities—at least within a certain subset of the population—are indeed COVID-19 free. To do that, we need very high-precision, mobilized testing at a molecular level that can give you real-time data. That’s how we are going to be able to separate who’s infected, including the asymptomatic carriers—or "superspreaders"R12;who carry the virus and can transmit it yet show no symptoms. Today, less than 10 percent of the needed 20 million tests a day in the United States are being done. And the testing that’s being done today provides only qualitative yes-or-no answers and has variable quality.

An interesting article from McKinsey. When asked how we will end this pandemic Anita Goel, MD, PhD, a world-renowned, award-winning physicist, physician, global-health security expert, and entrepreneur and the chair and CEO of Nanobiosym, pretty much describes the Kromek detector...

McKinsey: What innovations are you most excited about that may help deliver faster, more effective solutions to end the pandemic from both the health and economic perspectives?

Anita Goel: We live in a highly interconnected global economy where infections travel at lightning speed. To combat that, we need to embrace innovation and the best technologies and capabilities— technologies to detect, intervene, and create countermeasures on a massive scale early. We now have the technological capabilities, but it will require a paradigm shift to scale and deploy these nationally and globally—for example, moving from a more centralized to a decentralized paradigm about how we deliver healthcare.

We also need strong national mobilization to scale adoption quickly—for example, scaling nanobiophysics technology, which may solve the testing problem and create precision molecular testing in real time at a mass scale and enable real-time surveillance and early detection and countermeasures.

Someone talking?

[aqc888] 06/8/2021 16:34

Haha, I think I would have done the same trade in reality

[dougmachin] 06/8/2021 14:27

AQC - I did a great trade.. sold at 21p and then bought back in, basically at 21p.
Doh!

[abbynat] 06/8/2021 13:47

can understand selling for 21p but selling for 19p, mm.

[abbynat] 06/8/2021 13:45

i hope its not DEJA VU as last year!
good post petersw1!

It is quite hypocritical, I agree! Without irrational human emotions Kromeks share price wouldn’t be all over the place on very little/no news.
33mick is keeping calm with his treky news, while boomboy no doubt will be in panic mode heading for his nuclear shelter. I’m modestly irritated I could see another mini spike coming and didn’t sell a few and buy back with a quick 10% profit. I missed that boat.. Holding tight and presumably there will be a rise at the end of the day from people getting back on board. Who sells Kromek this late in the game, just before results are released, other than opportunists. Of which I’m totally hypocritically irritated at!

For Treky fans ..the original series was the best I recon.

It is a natural human response see the current drop and think ah I should have sold let's sell now before missing out even more. I'm feeling like that today. Taking such a choice based on the fear of missing out is going to to be extra risky though. Would seem better to me to form a consistent plan and stick to it. If that includes trading than it should include a better entry and exit criteria than arhhh I'm missing out panic trade.
Personally I'm happy with my capital allocation and will wait for solid news before changing anything here.

short sighted and hind sighted - i would say your comments are a bit hypocritical

[aqc888] 06/8/2021 11:26

Trading on predicted chart movements when there is a huge imminent piece of news for Kromek is a little short sighted. I find it extremely annoying too, as I was minded to have a quick jump out and in whilst waiting for the detector results, and missed an easy 5-10% it would seem

Don’t read anything into the buy or sell tag against trades !! A lot of the sells are buys if you look at MM ask price when trades done. Is a flaw they need to resolve !!

[aqc888] 05/8/2021 14:36

All small volume sells. Not worried. All private investors thinking to get out before the current spike drops more. Probably not thinking about the significance of the upcoming trial results

[dexter1612] 05/8/2021 14:14

I'm all for different views. I've yet to read any of your posts which are in any way informative either way.....filtered. bye.

[dexter1612] 05/8/2021 13:41

Is your nickname the cloud!!

[b00mb0y] 05/8/2021 13:29

No buys yet today. I wonder why with all the positivity on these boards. Is there any positivity anywhere else?
Looking at the long term graph, for the past 5 years the highs are in a dead straight downtrend. Is this the time that this trend is about to change?

[b00mb0y] 05/8/2021 13:17

I’m in but don’t want to regret!

We pay our money and take a risk or we sell out and take a risk.
Whatever our choices are it’s a gamble!

SP on the way down again!

[strategicinvestor2] 05/8/2021 12:58

I wouldn’t want to be out and then regret…
