They now appear to be ramping them down again as it's down to 75k . Germany have carried out more than 4 times as many tests, hence why they're in top of the situation and we aren't.

The 100K test was a target and yes would have been a black mark had it not been reached but the media put so much stock in it, Piers Morgan asking if Hancock would resign if it wasn’t met. That it became a side show, “ooh today’s the day, has the government met their target?” then immediately when it looked like it would be met, the narrative became , “well testing is no good without contact tracing”
You also have to have 100K people per day that want to be tested and can be tested.
It’s bollocks in my professional opinion, not the testing, but chasing numbers.
