I'm following the rules and doing what I'm told but, something just doesn't seem quite right about what we're hearing. No Bongo-esq conspiracy theory coming but the messages from Government seem very much at odds and conflicts with other messages. The Government has stated many times that they cannot source test kits due to a shortage of chemicals that are used in them. Robert Peston wrote a piece where he had interviewed the head of the UK association that chemical manufacturers belong to. They confirmed there are no shortages of base chemicals in the UK and that they can ramp up production if asked but they haven't been asked. But the government continues with the line that they can't get these kits due to global demand but we can make them in the UK. We still aren't testing people flying in to the UK even from Italy or USA unless they show symptoms neither are we stopping mass travel on London tubes yet 2 dog walkers in Derbyshire in an isolated field get publicly shamed. I'm finding it all very odd tbh.
