have the government given up on the 100k tests per day?

another day passes without hitting the target.
how can people be expected to trust the government when they continually fail to get close to their OWN targets?

They never ever got it and still aren't. But its not political don't ya know.

They appear to have saved up postal test kits and posted them all out on the target day, thus meeting their target. Actual tests carried out have never hit 100,000.

But people seem to have had the wool pulled over their eyes and don't care.

Given the latest policy briefing suggests we are going to follow the South Korea testing policy it would seem we have work to do.......

We don't even know how many of the posted kits have actually resulted in a test

our company recived over 9000 kits to be used in a trial on yesterday, its optional to take part, but they were sent out early to arrive on the day of the 100k target.

I know of two further companies who were offered, and accepted, postal tests in order to help meet the deadline.
Both companies integral to setting up testing facilities offered them as a ‘reward’

At the Daily briefing the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England acknowledges there was a change of policy on virus testing in March partly because there was not enough capacity. Dr Jenny Harries told the Commons Health Select Committee that “if we had unlimited capacity we would have done differently”. So they weren't following the science they were following the resources avilable

We'll soon be literally doing 200,000 tests a day. Does that mean we'll be doing 200,000 tests a day?
