I said it before. Getting an unwarranted test is the logical extension of bog-roll stockpiling.
A large number of the population seem to have the mindset that they don't want to miss out on having a test when they really need one so they'll go and get a test as often as they can when they don't really need one.

f bog-roll stockpiling.
Sooooo.... time to start stockpiling again to stop @greenhell getting any?!

I think the people you’re referring to are getting a test because they’re worried they might have the virus and don’t want to spread it. I don’t know what it’s got to do with bog roll hoarding.

I can see the sentiment behind this statement but I don't see it like that.
Unwarranted testing should have been a goal for the government by this stage. The ideal situation is being able to encourage people to get tested on a whim and have the capacity to do it. Its the only way to make people feel safe going about their lives, earning and spending money, without worrying about killing their grans.

Genuinely hadn't crossed my mind that you could do it on the NHS that way. We've been getting tests before seeing vulnerable friends and family.
That said, we really should have the capacity for anybody to have a test for whatever reason they want by now. Or at least soon. Its a huge failure that we can't. It has been obvious for months that the only way to weather this virus until vaccines are available without utterly fucking the economy is with massive widespread and cheap testing.
