They can't weasel out of it too easily - It's still on the Gov website as a press release confirming it would be 100,000 carried out. Not gonna stop the twats from trying though.
At the time, that included antigen tests, but as none of these work yet, its going to have to be tests on those currently with symptoms. No chance by the looks of things.
The picture I get it is that most of the testing is done directly via interaction with the NHS - i.e. those admitted to hospitals or people who work in hospitals / care environment. This way just does not seem generate enough tests, as the "capacity" sits unused.
To hit 100,000 a day, I imagine they are going to have to start asking anyone with symptoms to get in their car and drive to one of these testing facilities. Is that what they are doing in other countries?

Luxembourg has two main ways to get tested:
1, Your GP sends you to get tested. Consultations can also be by video
2, There are some walk in centres which they ask are only used if you're really sick not just to be testedObviously if you call for medical help and they send an ambulance you're tested too.

Once again this government starts on the gaslighting. Trying to sell the idea that 100,000 tests per week was referring to capacity, not to actual testing. Fuck. Them. All.
