Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

For the 5th day in a row, the actual number of people tested is 'unavailable'. So the only figure we get is the one inflated by the number of test kits posted out. This stinks.

Could have sworn they have shown them on the briefings every day.

Prob down to Boris blabbing his mouth off and saying they would be doing 200,000 by the end of May and don't have the capacity to post out 130,000 kits.

I never know why he gave an absolute number as a target. He failed on 100k, should have gone generic and said something like significant increase, or a vague number as a stretch target but possibly under. Insisting on a number is just an opportunity to fail.

To many people out enjoying themselves to bother with testing I assume.

If by rant you mean speaking the truth.

No, they only ever quote the artificially inflated total. I've noticed that some of the scientists look quite uncomfortable when that figure comes up on the slides.

Lockdown disappeared in Devon & Cornwall long before the Cummings affair, their now coming to kill themselves. Running out of Darwin Awards, Stay Out of The Water doesn't seem to get through to e everyone but I suppose they can use the Cummings excuse when they get to the pearly gates.

Using someone else's stupidity as a reason is a little silly.

Haven’t seen Imurg for a few days, wonder where he has been?

Are you seriously suggesting this is edited/clever angle and Death wasn't really at that beach

Aye right, as we say up here.


BTW Strange how no one seems to have picked up on Handcock 's 'civic duty' comment whilst attempting to explain how his version of TTT will [not] be enforced.
Perhaps he needs to remind his Westminster colleagues before speaking to the English public.

Scottish version to be called 'Test and Protect'.... Tap the App.
Quite appropriate as we are entering a Tap's Aff spell of weather.
