200K tests per day by the end of May

I can't see the benefit of just mass testing for the sake of it - who has the virus.
Testing when people have symptoms - targeted testing - seems the logical way to go & then to test those they have exposed (tracing app & personnel)

testing for antigen & possible immunity to discover who has had the virus may be more beneficial long term.

mass vaccination - once we have one - will be the path back to normality

I thought it was 250,000 over a month ago. Or was that the stamp licking capacity?
