Re: Coronavirus
An undeniably incompetent state of affairs. We're pissing in the dark when it comes to forming policies. I suspect Nick Hancock's head will roll.

Coronavirus: Dodgy data and double counting - the UK's testing data is a mess
How many people have been tested in the UK for COVID-19? It's a pretty simple question, which most countries are capable of answering.
And it's a pretty important one, since until you know how many people have been tested it's very difficult to get a real early handle on the spread of the disease.

Will there be a second spike? Is it safe to loosen the restrictions on our lives? Are quarantines justified or not? If not, how do we ensure those coming to the country do not bring the disease with them?
Testing - doing it well, accounting for it well and using the results sensibly - is clearly a crucial part of the solution.
Yet here in Britain we don't know how many people have been tested for the disease.
