Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
The vast majority of people going for an operation should/will be able to blow I would think, if your breathing you can blow....those on ventilators or oxygen would have issues blowing but I think it’s pretty clear they already have Covid by that stage.
You maybe right, who knows what the SP will be in 2 weeks? It’s has bounced off 20p a few times now if that’s anything to go by.
Do you still hold shares in DVRG Or are you just looking to de-ramp it for a lower buy in price? People are trying to have a genuine conversation about the way forward here.
So what’s exactly is involved in phase 3 testing for a diagnostic test? I realise that in terms a of a vaccine it’s tests safety mainly and involves a much larger number and age range of volunteers than stage 1/2.
Is this the same with the BT? Any information on numbers involved GB and I assume the main focus of phase 3 testing regarding the BT is to test accuracy and efficacy against both the lateral flow test(which is believe still requires a nasal and throat swab) and the existing PCR test which is time consuming and also unpleasant for patients. Thanks.
There does need to be clarity on those points I agree. No actual mention of numbers, revenue or trial results from phase 2.
Thats a great RNS and what was needed to steady the ship. Everything s going in the right direction. International orders for the PD unit to be shipped out by the end of the year and phase 3 trials for the BT! Brilliant. A little more clarification would be good in the BT though, maybe GB will explain what the plans are.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I believe that testing and vaccines need to go hand in hand and will need to for years to come and as said the BT can be applied to all manor of viruses and infections.
The AZ vaccine will be the big one. It will be much easier distributed as needs between 2 and 8 degrees not -80 like the Pfizer one.
But the BT isn’t supposed to be a cure it’s a diagnostic tool. Vaccines are not going stop infection either, the first ones to be released aim to reduce illness and death in older and vulnerable patients, reducing infection will come later so in the meantime rapid testing is very much necessary to help open the worlds economies.
I get your point in that the breathalyser (or any test for that matter) might not be the answer to going on holidays or long haul flights. As you say you might leave Home negative but catch Covid while away in which case yes you will likely be required to quarantine but that’s upto the government’s to determine and provide the quarantine facilities. The same scenario could apply to any kind of test though.
Where the breathalyser excels is in speed and the 24hr health pass, it has the potential for people to go about some sort of normality in their daily lives and locally ie to a concert, football match, short flights within the same day, healthcare staff so they don’t need to isolate For a week because they were in contact with someone who had Covid yet they are still negative. It gets rid of the blanket approach of ok everyone is labelled with potentially having Covid but in reality they are still negative and a rapid test will confirm that.
Regarding long haul travel I think though if you want to go abroad though you take the risk of being stuck there for a few weeks so it’s personal choice really.
As stated, do the rest before you go, you have a 24hr window. If you test positive you don’t travel to the airport.
When will the rot stop, hard to watch tbh.
Appreciate the post @gjbrandon.
While there are some here including me who are frustrated with the SP and are under water considerably, there’s certainly no need at all for some of the comments and insulting comments against the CEO of the company. Thanks for the reassurance and I look forward to the next RNS which hopefully isn’t too far away.
We need the RNS’s to back up the tweets, sales, contracts and revenue is what’s needed. I’m hoping there’s some sort of good news coming as I’m still over 30% down having bought more around the 23p level yesterday. Can you tell I’m having a bad day lol
All of these articles are great regarding contaminated water around the world but it doesn’t make a bit of difference to sales of equipment from what I can see or the SP which is 10% lower than MWG!
I see even the company we are taking over has a higher SP than here, you couldn’t make it up.
Ahaha money goes to money, not illegal but I’d be pretty pished off if I was a Pfizer holder
I think unless there are contracts and companies that are close to signing up for the BT it’s future should be seriously reviewed, if it’s not “guaranteed” to create revenue to the company next year I think it should be scrapped and no more money put into it. Personally I believe that scenario is already priced into the SP at this current price
It’s only saving grace is that it’s tech can be applied to all manor of viruses and infections not just Covid. We are already seeing mutations of the virus and there will be many new viruses that will come in the future where the BT may have a use. As I say though that all depends on whether there is a solid commitment to buy it from the government or large hospitality companies.
Well made points Muggins, we do need some sort of update and news. There is a lot of talk of things going on in the background, many different companies involved etc etc but no actual RNS updates. It’s a bit disheartening when you see all of these other companies landing multi million pound government contracts and nothing from from DVRG. I’ll f the tech is that good I have to ask why not? Also is the BT getting knocked on the head now or are we going ahead as normal. Following news of this vaccine which has had a big impact in the markets it would be nice to get a company update of Dvrg’s strategy going forward.
