Patient - the last bit of the RNS is the target - .......for implementation in a point-of-care test strip, similar in appearance to a pregnancy test, giving a visual read-out in minutes using a sample such as saliva.

For investors - Avacta owns the intellectual property relating to the SARS-COV-2 Affimer reagents and retains all commercial rights.

Sounds good.

Richard1Posted April 22, 2020 at 7:35 am | PermalinkWhat has been eye-opening is the uselessness of many of our large centralised quangos. We have seen PHE turning its nose up at private sector involvement in producing tests, refusing to send out samples needed to do that, the absurdity of even large established firms willing and able to produce PPE being unable even to speak to anyone in the NHS, the recruitment of 750,000 volunteers who then aren't contacted whilst in the meantime many people on the 1.5m vulnerable list can't get online deliveries. Examples are legion of our bloated and incompetent public sector management. No doubt individuals are well-intentioned and doing their best, but the conclusion must be that statist centralism where any problem is blamed on the Secretary of State or even the PM, is a recipe for dreadful performance and waste.

Is this how this share trades daily? ie, a .02p channel?

[ladeside] 22/4/2020 10:45

LSE, however the software only determines a "buy" or "sell" based upon the side of the listed spread it falls.

This can often give a false reading due to the official spread not actually being accurate in reality.

BobPosted April 22, 2020 at 9:30 am | PermalinkThrough excessive tax and regulation successive governments have driven manufacturing businesses offshore to rather more laissez-faire environments.Import and distribution, nail bars, tattoo parlours, tourism and coffee shops do not make for a resilient economy and will be of little use in times of emergency, as we have now seen. We are about to pay a huge price for years of complacency by politicians who cannot see beyond the next election.Warren Buffet famously remarked –" "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."

Test patients for coronavirus vaccine wanted:

Imperial College offers £625 for volunteers aged 18-55 from London, Bristol and Southampton to test potential vaccine as Oxford starts trials today

By SAM BLANCHARD SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER FOR MAILONLINE and CHRIS DYER FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED: 17:24, 21 April 2020 | UPDATED: 05:07, 22 April 2020


A call has been made for volunteers to take part in the first human trials of a new coronavirus vaccine in Britain.

Imperial College London and University Hospital Southampton asked for people to take part in the study to test if a potential inoculation is effective in tackling the disease.

One COVID-19 vaccine developed at the University of Oxford will be trialled on humans in the UK from Thursday this week.

Imperial College London is calling for volunteers to trial its separate vaccine in the weeks ahead. Anyone who is healthy and aged between 18 and 55 can take part at Imperial College London, University Hospital Southampton plus Bristol Children's Vaccine Centre.

LOL Blair his work on the Middle East Peace Process, by killing thousands of people , yup i get it...

[poikka] 22/4/2020 10:08

I've always maintained (just ask the missus) that Tony Blair is stark raving.

Anyone want to try and make any sense of this, is welcome:

"The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change is a non-profit organisation set up by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair with the ambition to help make globalisation work for the many, not the few. Helping countries, their people and their governments address some of the most difficult challenges in the world today. Bringing together the various organisations Blair set up after leaving office – The Tony Blair Governance Initiative and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation – as well as his work on the Middle East Peace Process, establishing a new area of work: Renewing the Centre. Blair’s intention was to expand the activity of these organisations, re-orientating the mission to reflect the overlap between extremism, governance, the Middle East and the policies needed to fight populism in the West."

Naturally, it's receiving funding from all sorts. Bet Trumpy wouldn't fund it.

"Or how many more home grown nurses we’d have had he not made nursing a degree based occupation..."

I couldn't agree more Patient. Not all nurses need to have a University degree. Most hardworking nurses have the personally and commitment to make this a vocation without having a piece of paper. Why we waste this natural resource is beyond me.
Specialist nurses are a different thing.

dont forget the other 'Expert' the BBC use as well, Gary liniker !!

[cheshire pete] 22/4/2020 09:33

Blair seems to be an expert on just about everything. Contrast with the humility of the professors and medical chiefs on the daily briefings who readily admit that there is an awful lot they don't know about the virus and are still finding out.

Nice one :o)

[pooroldboy55] 22/4/2020 09:27

Why don't the BBC ask Tony Blair how many people died in the illegal war ?
Also since when has he become an expert on the coronavirus .

Military appalled by planning fiasco over NHS protective kit



Lucy Fisher, Defence Editor | Billy Kenber, Investigations Reporter | Kat Lay, Health Correspondent
Wednesday April 22 202




Military personnel have criticised the NHS for its “appalling” handling of distributing personal protective equipment. The armed forces are helping with the distribution of equipment and staff have been seconded to help planning across seven hubs.

A senior army source lambasted the health service for its logistics for PPE, alleging that masks, aprons, gloves and other items were being assigned to hospitals without regard to relative need, leading to oversupply in some areas and shortages in others.

“We know how knackered their [NHS logistics] systems are, but we’ve been surprised we’ve not been called in to help more, and we’ve been surprised by their failure to ration [kit],” the insider said. Hospitals are encouraged to share stocks of PPE with local trusts who are running
