• I said it before. Getting an unwarranted test is the logical extension of bog-roll stockpiling.

    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.

    I completely agree, but being fucking useless at actually doing that, and creating a situation where there is a fear of lack of tests, they've completely fucking blown that.

  • but being fucking useless at actually doing that

    Presumably building some kind of good-as-infinite testing capacity was achievable here in the UK (from a capability and delivery perspective, ignoring politics) in three months? The govt. just had to make it so?

    feels a bit 'everything would be different if everything was different', paraphrasing Dammit.

    Sorry I'm a bit of stuck record on that one.
