    Bloody impressive.

    That is all.

    Shame no-one in the field knows anything about it due to lack of published or pre print results

    I hope it works but I’d like to see some evidence before it’s rolled out

    Is the timing of this announcement anything to do with the fact that the deadline for rolling testing out to care homes has just been moved back 3 months?

    Worrying that details of its accuracy are mysteriously absent from any coverage, but could be a big step forwards.

    Care homes were promised asymptomatic testing by… now… and have just been told that residents and their families are likely to have to wait ‘till October for those promised tests… but the headlines are being grabbed by this announcement about other future tests… where are the tests that they were promising for now? They keep doing this… ignore our last promise about testing… here’s a fresh juicy one.

    98% sensitivity, 100% specificity

    Wonder how many samples and what gold standard they used.

    Did many Bothans die to bring us this information?

    Oxford Nanopore have published their pre-print. Looks good to me as an amatuer.

    Still nothing in public from DNA Nudge. Dr Adam Rutherford seems to be unimpressed as am I.
