in the first few months where they were only testing people that really thought they had it
I don't think this is quite right. I really thought I had it, as did a lot of people I know, some of whom have subsequently tested positive for antibodies, but we couldn't get tested.
IIRC to get tested you had to be NHS or in hospital.
Now maybe yes, but in the first few months where they were only testing people that really thought they had it and were getting 1 in 45 positives (I just had a cursory look at mid-May)
