Saliva COVID-19 Test Kits That are As Accurate as PCR Tests Will Be in S&rsquo pore in 3 Months
Announced on 8th December, license should be soon,manufacturing should start end March or April.
Hold tight tight.
I think order books will be very strong locally first. Wait for overseas order later on.
Fingers cross!!

Just to summarise on their patented saliva test kit from the researchers thesis
For full thesis. you may want to read why this is a game changer
Amplified parallel antigen rapid test for point-of-care salivary detection of SARS-CoV-2 with improved sensitivity | SpringerLink
The study of saliva instead of nasal swabs in this study was chosen for several reasons. Firstly, tests that rely on nasal swabs are operator-dependent [30], and thus, a saliva-based test circumvents this issue and can be easily self-administered [31]. Secondly, several studies have found that saliva may in fact harbour a higher viral load than nasopharyngeal secretions [32]. However, a key limitation of saliva samples is that it is readily diluted after food or water ingestion that limits diagnostic test performance [33], especially for ARTs [17, 18]. The requirement for fasting saliva sample for diagnosis would curtail the deployment of any diagnostic test, particularly in primary healthcare setting. The amplification step in AP-ART was able to overcome this dilutional effect for sustained high level sensitivity, and thus underscores the potential of AP-ART to be applied for point-of-care diagnosis. Thirdly, SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens have also been observed to persist longer than the genetic material tested in RT-PCR, which may be due to the difference in the circulating half-life these markers as seen in other viral studies [34]. Another postulation for the antigenic persistence could be due to residual depots of viral antigens which persist in the body in areas such as draining lymph nodes seen in other studies involving other respiratory pathogens [35]. For example, in animal models infected with the respiratory syncytial virus, the viral antigen can remain detectable for at least 5 weeks despite viral clearance as correlated with serological testing [36]. Fourthly, AP-ART successfully detected SARS-CoV-2 in the saliva even in patients whose nasopharyngeal swab samples had converted from RT-PCR to negative. Fifthly, the turnaround time of 30 min of AP-ART is an added advantage compared to RT-PCR. Finally, though there are no amplified ARTs similar to the AP-ART on the market, as the material cost of similar ARTs can be as low as USD 0.50 [37], it is expected that the AP-ART would also be highly affordable.

HSA, MOH, approvals coming soon...
The waiting game started...BB cannot short anymore as there is support..
www..n earn big bucks

No BBs interested in short of this stock. Stock not moving up due to the US market sentiment. Just need some patience . Maybe not spiking today but still promising.
Don' t forget the new variant from France IHU
Don' t know how many boosters we need to jab
The virus mutate so fast until we going to be ninja mutant turtle soon

I will queue to sell some at 30 waiting for the license news out.
Fingers cross.
May all huat big here

Omicron wave may see 15,000 cases per day in ' worst case scenario' : Kenneth Mak
rule no. 1
BB cannot stop u from buying but can corner u to sell
rule no. 2
when BB cannot corner u to sell, they will start to distribute
rule no.3 ....

First Delta
Then Omicron
Now IHU
In coming months, once this manfacturing done and kits on sale, the kits will sell like hot chinese new year goodies.
DISA new recurring revenue and profits
Medical stocks in play now Top Glove
follow the sentiments
When virus out, coins will drop.
Always like this.
Buy medical stocks now not buy coins.

BBs already full control
not to worry
most done at 7/8
a fraction done at 9 yesterday n today only
building base now to break 10 when ready
Yes always DYODD for those who scrap or contra
Eventually its own money

Seems like if....😰 . Cannot eat up us punters will take profit.

7-8 looks well absorbed hopefully can see late afternoon push later. Slow and steady better la hehe bro we don?t need listen to too many noises or negative comments and always Rmb to do our own judgement cause eventually it?s our own money. Lots of sour grapes maybe already sold earlier on but want buy Low that?s why keep say negative comments haha. Always DYODD. Happy mid weeks everyone

WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - The Omicron variant is accounting for the lion' s share of new coronavirus cases as Americans return to work and school following the holiday season, according to estimates from federal health officials.
Omicron made up 95 per cent of all sequenced Covid-19 cases in the United States in the week ending Jan 1, up from a revised 77 per cent in the previous week, according to a model by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Previously, the CDC estimated that the variant accounted for 58.6 per cent of cases in the week ending Dec 25.
The CDC' s Nowcast estimates levels of variant prevalence based on genomic-sequencing data.
It can be volatile, with substantial revisions to weekly numbers as the agency gathers more samples from across the country.
With Omicron tightening its grip across the country - it is now the prevailing strain in every geographic region tracked by the model - the once-dominant Delta variant, which spurred a nationwide jump in cases last year, now accounts for just 4.6 per cent of sequenced cases, according to the CDC.
Omicron was first identified in South Africa and classified by the World Health Organisation as a variant of concern in November. It has swept through the US since being detected in California on Dec 1.
Health officials have been working hard to monitor its spread and are encouraging all adults to get booster doses.
Late last year, President Joe Biden called on care providers to expand the availability of Covid-19 vaccines and boosters in a bid to hold off Omicron and combat a winter surge of infections.
Guru indeed.
will queue more at 7.
Hope scrapers and contras can unload.

Seems like i said, if cannot eat up punters will take profit already. Worse case if BB decide to pause, we might also see 7 next few days.
