There isn’t much of an in vitro diagnostics industry in the U.K., there never has been really as the domestic market is so small. Germany and the US have always had big players in that industry and seem to have had the ability to do lots of tests. I wonder if there is a link? Demand is being gradually increased, following increases in capacity, as the availability of testing to more groups is opened up.Just saw Hancock saying it’s down to demand not capacity.
I do have to question why countries that have stated testing is part of their plan can get the tests and those that have gone a different route have problems.

I really don’t know, I was just trying to make sense of it. We clearly started from a low base in terms of equipment. It’s a new virus and the test is a genetic test so there wouldn’t have been specific reagents on the shelf. Did Turkey start seeing cases earlier and got in the market before the supply became limited? Have all countries been as stringent in terms of acceptability of sensitivity and specificity of tests used - there seems to be a lot of stuff out there that isn’t great. Locally, all the stops have been pulled out to develop a robust testing capability in a very short time frame against difficulties with supply.I may be being stupid here, but we live in a world of global trade, couldn’t we just buy them in? IIRC Germany were doing tests for Italy at one point.
Looking at the country by country rates were below places like Equador and Turkey, do these places have large in vitro diagnostics industries?
Don’t mean this to come across as accusatory, all genuine questions sorry.

Turkey is 3 times the size of the UK and most people live in villages, so keeping away from people is easier. Here we are squeezed into a relatively small space with the 2nd highest population in Europe. You can't judge every country the same
Lockdown till the 11th with some things then reopening and some schools back by the end of MayWhat’s happening in France and is that us in 2 weeks?
It's just more horseshit from Hancock. The NHS employees alone could eat that extra capacity pretty quickly.Also the government said today that the capacity is there today to do all the testing but the demand isn’t there....something I’m also confused about because isn’t everyone pissed were not testing enough?
More than Starbucks et al.First heard this story yesterday and it was £1m, then saw it a bit later £2m, this morning on FB it was at £5m, now £7m!
At this rate this guy will be funding more of the NHS than the government!

Yep - no demand my arse. There must be hundreds of thousands of people who'd love to be tested to see if they've got it or not. Not to mention all the health and care workers.
Brits criticise 'shambolic' return from IndiaWritten on Saturday to a senior official at the Department of Health and Social Care by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (Adass), it says mixed messages from the government have created "confusion and additional workload".
On protective equipment for care workers, the letter says the national handling has been "shambolic".
Early drops of equipment have been "paltry" and more recent deliveries have been "haphazard", with some even being confiscated by border control for the NHS.
British tourists returning from India have called the UK government response "shambolic" and "embarrassing".
Some said it took hours to reach anyone by phone, communication was confusing and the British authorities were "incompetent and uncaring".
One man, who is still in India, said he was told he was being taken to a flight but later found out this was an error.
If you go past the headlines....yes it could be us.What’s happening in France and is that us in 2 weeks?

PR. Seemingly large sections of society are convinced that Boris is some sort of Tory Jesus and therefore the government are beyond reproach. That’s good PR for you.The more that comes out the worse it gets. Is there actually anything the government haven't messed up in handling this crisis?
I don't know what to make of it. Fair play to him, and all, but *we* should be looking after *him*.It's over 12 mil! Every time someone announces a figure it immediately becomes incorrect a the amount goes up!

That’s what should be funding the NHS not some mad go fund me.I don't know what to make of it. Fair play to him, and all, but *we* should be looking after *him*.
