State of play 5/4/2020, page-6

Less rosy view, please ignore as probably irrelevant.

• First tests arrive untested!
• First shipments sold?, can't find the announcement but probably true as cannot get a date for any orders myself.
• True they are the ones on their website.
• The tests they have are deemed to be high quality (who has deemed this, the suppliers) and as accurate as any other antibody tests available in the world (has CDY provided you with the results and analysis from tests produced by the company if so can you post them and were they compiled by an independent source), ....these are not the spanish dodgy ones. Confirmation of this is the recent order by UK of 3+ million tests and Cellmid and Wondfu was not the Spain supplier. You trust the UK government to know what they are doing over the Spanish Government (Spain in a real shit storm, UK also in a real shit storm, sorry I am not making a light hearted jest at the situation, it is very bad over there and could develop into that here although the numbers are not showing it at the moment)
• Cellmid has undergone a CR last week in a bid to fund new orders of tests (to tune of 3-5 mil worth). Confirmation via announcement and documentation supplied to one of these threads of the CP details.That is not worrying at all, pump all the money you have into a sure thing. (I hope they have a confirmed order from the government that take up the majority of the next order).
• Many Chinese suppliers have been banned from exporting POC tests by Chinese government. Confirmation - I can’t recall where I got this detail but I clearly recall reading the statement (maybe company announcement and media reports) bit for the positive. "Some Chinese test kit makers had been taking advantage of easier European Union regulations to get their products into the market before they were approved at home." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-testkits/china-clamps-down-on-coronavirus-test-kit-exports-after-accuracy-questioned-idUSKBN21J51S
• There are 16+ tests listed on the Aussie therapeutic goods administration approval list. Only 2 x suppliers on that list are allowed to export under current Chinese government ban. This is true but a few of them are not even from China!!! but once again as a positive US are putting embargo's on any company shipping product out of US that may be needed at home. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2020/04/03/3m-blasts-back-at-trump-company-says-not-selling-masks-to-canada-could-spark-retaliation/#7d3acfae7465
• At this point in time the only confirmed supplier of POCT’s in Australia are Cellmid (by confirmed I mean are able to and have promoted a delivery/availability date. I would assume any business that currently has them available would publicise this to let potential customers know they have them for sale as Cellmid has done - this is only my assumption though). Now that this is a test to get people back to work not an acute test the competition will arrive soon, and would still like to know if this company will happily supply a suitable amount to CDY as they are getting pressure from all over the world as demand is so high (just a side note China is a communist country, if Aus are not in favour there is nothing to say the Chinese government will not order the company to send product elsewhere).
• Cellmid have announced a expectation they will be announcing a large order/s in the very near future following negotiations with government/health care players. Confirmation - CDY announcement. would be great to hear
• Government expecting to have large quantities of POCT tests available this week. Confirmation - PM and chief health officer announcements. That was last week, gives you a lot of confidence in the government to know what is going on, the TGA to know what they are approving and the import lot to be sitting on application to import all these tests that are exceptionally urgent.
