That day is three weeks since the lockdown and a announcement was due anyway, friday is bank holiday, so we have got all weekend to get the cobwebs off the mirrors [ she says with a wink] It’s all spin.Yesterday they were claiming tests had increased to 100,000 per day.Do you believe that when the chemicals to do the tests are in short supply ( quote Gov.Como New York State ) We now have a big virus testing centre and a hospital 4 miles away have now got the equipment to anylise 6000 tests per day.Where are they being done,240 miles away in Milton Keynes by a private company.The explanation given,De Loitte are advising the government on carrying out tests. On Thursday,the chancellor said there were now more than 25% of businesses on lock down ( sounds better than 70% ) and 4 million workers were now furloughed ( sounds better than 15 million). A local company on telly were complaining that NHS were messing them about regarding buying their protective visors and they had made thousands.So they were now just selling them to the US who wanted them yesterday. I think it might be better if the army were put in control. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
