Straw man Old Boy, either that or you are incapable of reading and appreciating context.

Nice to see you almost admitting that herd immunity is the only practical way of defeating this virus apart from your 'lockdown for as long as its necessary' solution.
The easing of restrictions is having the inevitable consequence, which we are already detecting amongst young people. Where this ends, I agree, depends on the extent to which herd immunity has now been achieved.

I’ve not admitted anything of the sort. Maybe the sarcasm isn’t coming across but if it helps I can refer to “herd immunity”.

We'd still be in lockdown now if the pesky left-wingers were in power...

@jfman
Didn't I tell you to lay off the sarcasm?
Anyway, the testing thing is a total shambles and there is no defence that the Guvmin can validly provide.

@Seph I'm sure someone will do their best on here - not your good self though as you're more objective.

Re: Coronavirus
It's the labs that have problem .just throw more money at it. If you are not a key worker stay away. Moaning does not help anyone.

On R5 this morning, the issue seemed to be the co-ordination between the private labs and the existing NHS labs. There is no overall awareness of capacity and the two sets of labs are working independently, even if they share peaks and troughs of capacity in each group, they do not share it between NHS and non-NHS labs.
Total testing capacity is apparently fine, it just needs allocating properly between labs regardless of ownership structure. Plenty of lab capacity in Aberdeen area hence recommended to use that post code to be tested in Teddington testing station.
However, that's just a radio report. it could be far off the mark.

The solution seems to be to put in an Aberdeen post code, but Nick Hancock says this is gaming the system. So says the person who voted to break international law last night! What parent wouldn't put in an Aberdeen post code to get a local test for their child?

Unless you are a Mod or an Admin, it is not appropriate to be giving orders to other CF'ers - kindly desist.

While it suits some to politicise it the simple explanation is that the public won’t stand for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of deaths because the Government is negligent. So the government needs either a competent plan or a lockdown as an emergency brake. The latter is absolutely inevitable unless the former comes into being, fast.
