Whether you are left, right or centre this should be clear IMO. So should all of the tests sent out in the post have been ignored then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt indicate I know the exact number, I indicated that I believe the reported numbers to be inflated then stated where I got the information from.

Nope just not counted till they have been taken ,, do we count number of tests that have been delivered to testing centres rather than tests carried out at those test centres?

"the amount of tests that were announced was an inflated number" That's quite a definitive statement. Anyway, think we have established that nobody knows the correct number so it is disingenuous to say it is either lower or higher than the target.

We know that the tests were between 80 k and 122 k is also quite a definitive statement from yourself but the government anouced a definitive 122 k ? goverment ministers are doing everything within their powers to mislead , baffle and inflate , surely that’s agreed here?

If they were being disingenuous they would have just said 122k and not given the breakdown. Havent they been transparent by giving the 82k and 40k breakdown?

This is my point , we have become so entrenched in our political camps that we most of the time get defensive and don’t hold ALL to proper scrutiny, no matter what side of the political fence we sit we need our ministers to be held to account to be honest straight and up to the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 A few days out and it didn't look like they'd reach 100,000 a day for another 2-4 weeks. They have reached the target one way or another within a day or two. Hopefully they'll reach 150,000 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
