World-beating test and trace system!

I heard Hancock’s ridiculous remark about the test being unnecessarily requested because it is free. Does he realise how many people he is insulting?

What an absolute farce!

Hancock again accused people who aren't eligible for wanting tests, but there is no evidence for that, but he had to blame somebody! He had the nerve to suggest people will always take something for free!!

He admitted this afternoon that they knew demand would rise when schools returned and people started going back to work in the office. So why didn't they plan for that?

What happened to the priority for schools? Pupils and their families can't get tests, so are staying at home.

NotSpaghetti - you couldn't make it up!

Total shambles, all this "get a test if you have symptoms garbage". 4 year old GS, temperature and nausea yesterday. Son spent the evening and today on the totally unfit for purpose system and of course no tests anywhere. Little wonder that a lot of people ignore minor symptoms and then spread the virus.

World beating etc., etc... what a load of nonsense. Johnson and his gang really are trying to copy their little friend, trump in the lying stakes, aren’t they? Unbelievable. At least the death rate seems to be reducing, which is more to do with medical staff than the government.

AGAA4

I also think it isn't safe to send people who have to drive and are feeling ill on long journeys.

Apart from the fact they will be spreading the virus.

I wonder if it going to become a lorry park luckygirl?

My grandson became ill last Friday with Covid symptoms. My son was told that no tests were available anywhere and it could be a week or more before he could have one.
This means that his brother and all the other children he has been in contact with have to isolate. My son also.
World Beating indeed!

Well... I suppose 100 mile round trip is better than my option!

No. It's not significantly improved then. I was offered the Isle of Wight -
4 and a half hours each way plus a sea crossing!
