Testing revenus will continu

As our gouvernements (federal and provincials) announce mandatory vaccination for group of people and, as it is clear that people with two doses of vaccine could still be contagious and cause risks for others, testing, screening and rapid testing will have to be part of the cocktail of preventive measures for at least a good part of 2022.

So now testing is voluntary in companies and only a small minority of people test themself once or twice a week.  The solution for non vaccinated people (already discussed in MEDIAS) will be to implement mandatory tests.  Random test will still be perform on vaccinated people in some industries.

Testing will clearly continu to be a good source of revenus for DM and provide margin to invest in R&D and other AI projects.

Agreed. My university is requiring non vaccinated people to be tested twice weekly or those who do not disclose their status. A recent survey that went out indicated people were not comfortable disclosing their personal information. As of now it is PCR testing but that could change. Waterloo is using rapid antigen testing twice weekly for those who are not or will not disclose vaccination status

Hello to all long term investors, I agree 100% that testing will continue. I live on the island of Roatan, Honduras. The primary economy here is tourism, and in order to continue dealing with tourists we need to be vaccinated so most of us now, Have been vaccinated! Cruise ship companies require testings, vaccinated or not to be tested. Airline companies are doing the same sort of testing for any

My company is rapid testing 2000+ employees twice per week... Don't see this changing anytime soon. We are one of the biggest company in Canada.....I am sure other major employers are doing the same.

I can confirm that testing is not going anywhere in the film industry either. My husband works on one of the biggest productions in Toronto, his crew and basically everyone he talks to from other departments is already double vaccinated, yet everyone is still getting tested 3 times a week and no one has even heard of anyone saying it will stop anytime soon.

First, it looks like this Delta variant is spreading more rapidly but less lethal, and it spreads amonn children very rapidly, but many experience mild or no symptons.  So in reality there are actually more children already had the virus without knowing it. Secondly, I heard Bill Gates is buying a testing company, he must know something we don't, why spend so much money to buy a company

And would this be a "reliable source" re the Bill Gates news. We know there are an abundance of reliable sources these days.

This is just my opinion… With that being said I would only think that if Bill Gates was involved in buying a company, there would be some type of non-disclosure agreement.… Just a thought

Like Covid19 & it's Mutations continuing so too will M&A in this space I think as the realization manifests that the medical diagnostics space is in a very bullish trend, those at the forefront with large client bases will be on the radar of potential deep pocketed acquisitors that seek yield which is itself becoming a market of growing decline. https://www.360dx.com/business-news
