O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

Hahaha touché. Which form are you referring too 樂

Well played, you got me there (their). I'll have too book (buck) up my ideas.

People not being tested has everything to do with it. Surely you see that? If it’s not then who do you think is or should be tested and hasn’t been? As I said it’s not as though people are needing testing and can’t be. PPE on the other hand

It really hasn't! I would agree with daily fluctuations if sometimes it was over 100k but sometimes under. However, two days over (and method of counting questionable) with 6 days under since (and well under) does not mathematically fit to daily fluctuations causing it.

If they can't get near 100k as a daily average because people aren't requesting tests, however are they going to get to BJ's 200k?

No they won’t get the 200k. Unless of course there is a spike in the number of people infected in which case their might the demand for it.

Another of the many ways in which Boris's crew has let us down. There will be an accounting but getting past the 'I love Boris' t-shirt wearers might prove challenging. Gawd f**ckng help us

I am absolutely flabbergasted that the UK has only just started quarantining new arrivals on flights. Australia have been doing this for 6 weeks and we are now almost ready to rock and roll again. Its saved a lot of lives.

We haven't, it's still on the table.

Another problem we have is those that get halfway across the Channel, phone ( I don't know where they get the number from) the Navy up saying they are in trouble and when we get there, champagne corks are being popped. Yesterday a record number came across putting us all at risk, Covid is rampant in the Calais camps. The very least we should be doing is towing them back to French waters.

So does that bother you that he made that commitment that could not be kept? Or do you think that BJ is expecting a massive spike?I

I can't believe that the excuse being made is that there are not enough people wanting the test. Surely if that is the reason we are not hitting the 100k, all they have to say is 'We have more than 100k tests available but people aren't taking them up'.

We've decided not to be tested unless one of us show symptoms. With my wife being a key worker, we were all offered testing.

[drillerpie]

I think there were issues with key workers accessing the tests. There are a lot of areas where the nearest test centre is very far away, and even if you don't live far away it can be difficult to access them if you don't have a car. If you look at the map in this article you can see the problem.
