Coronavirus: Government apologises over tests shortage

A director of the government's test and trace scheme in England says lab capacity is the issue.

Put in steps so you don’t have to travel more than 75 miles for a test!!!!!!!!!

If you live in a remote area that is not that stupid. I have known several people tested here and they have all been done quickly and test results back in 24 hours

It’s ok I’d willingly drive just past Manchester with the flu to get tested lol

How many games into the season will the first Covid related postponement be? Place your bets!

 

[wingy]

New lab coming on board to provide capacity to process 50k tests, representing 20% of capacity.

People have injuries and illnesses all the time don’t they I can’t see this being different or is it?

Yeah I reckon this one is different. One player/staff tests positive and the whole thing caves in.

They will be expected to isolate along with anyone who's been close for a length of time won't they .
I was thinking that fans would almost certainly be back by late October but not so convinced now .
Everyone is majoring on the young and 1M students going back to Uni, College etc.

All seemed like a bit of a generation war on the radio.

They had to postpone games in Scotland but the season still carried on.
However if it happens here the fixture congestion could get ridiculous

Fixture congestion for Aberdeen and Celtic could get ridiculous as well.

Visit a castle while you’re at it. Official government eye test at the same time.

UKHSA data dashboard

Overall summary of the respiratory viruses in circulation within the UK

coronavirus.data.gov.uk

The front page is only showing hospital admission data as at 26 August, I wondered why the figure was static. That number has definitely increased. The numbers on ventilators fluctuates a fair bit though but is back up today.

It's been reported that if Johnson had died of Covid Raab would have become PM.
What a fucking joke this country is becoming. One totally useless c**t replaced by an even bigger one.

How on earth do you decide which one of them pair is the biggest c**t. It’s an oxymoron of being told to pick which one of your children is your favourite.

Gatherings of more than six people will be banned from Monday: Boris Johnson launches new coronavirus crackdown across ALL of England with limit on meeting indoors and outdoors - but weddings and funerals exempt

Don’t think we will be back watching city at St. Andrews anytime soon

I think / know they've brought in some consultancies to try and get it fixed. The whole idea is flawed. Should have given the money to local authority public health teams. They do contact tracing all of the time (sexual health)

Reading the reports you can still go to the pub with up to 6 friends? If so what does it actually achieve?

It's just window dressing

Everything fun or not work related needs to be banned except for stuff that Boris quite likes

Yet since they suddenly changed the daily figures from the number of tests done to test capacity to try and fudge the fact they were way below the promised numbers we've been told there's masses of unused capacity every day.

Also if the issue is lab capacity and not the actual tests why are people being sent hours away, surely you'd do they tests locally and ship them all off overnight?

Once again what we're being told doesn't seem to match what we are seeing happening.

This is it. We are edging towards lockdown but still go to work. Which can't really work.

While trying to keep the hospitality industry open as they ain't gonna pay for a second round of furloughing

It was finished when Boris and that crowd of tory bastards were elected in December

what about schools?

 

[chiefdave]

The advise hasn't actually changed has it? Looks like they've just changed the law to match the current guidelines at the request of the police.

This is depressing.
