You are a cretin. We haven’t tested anywhere near 100,000.

Dom probably thinks Boris got all his baby mommas pregnant by titting them up and fingering them. Much like Lloyd did in Dumb and Dumber.

At the start of the month I set myself a target of pulling 10 women in one week. Glad to report that I’ve already smashed it, just sent 20 emails to various women so I’ve pulled double the target amount

No we tested less than 80k people yesterday.

This was admitted by the science fella, they included tests not yet taken

It is actually pathetic that anybody with the DH went along with this shite. They really have filled the civil service with ambitious yes boys and girls, fucking useless.

No we did not do 122k tests. That is a lie we actually conducted less than 80k tests.

Why are you continually posting something that has been prove to be a lie.

Fuck me you are dumb, as 39k if the 122k tests have not be processed yet can you please explain how we did 122k tests?

Tests shipped to testing sites but not actually processed yet are not tests processed

It's madness, the dhsc figures show 39k tests were not processed but only failed out.

The promise was 100k people tested and they only did 73k

Another political football that will be kicked around and no doubt it'll be save face vs points scoring on Marr this weekend.

I have a major gripe that they've fudged the figures to get the result. To be fair, 80K odd is a lot better than the 20K they were getting a few weeks ago, and they should have pushed that. If they'd said we didn't quite make the target we set, but we'll aim to get there asap, most reasonable people would probably accept that. 100,000 tests is a big logistical task at the end of the day.

I agree, though I think the numbers thing is an intentional tactic. Make a claim that’s as ambiguous as possible to cause news stories and fact checks galore and people have a vague sense that you did a thing with a big number and some people disagree about the exact number but there’s definitely a big number and you did it.

It’s worked every time: £350m to the NHS, 50,000 nurses and 40 hospitals, now 100,000 tests.

Media and opposition need to wise up to it.

You are mixing up economic growth with economic equality.

So if a small percentage of people with a lot of wealth get 10% growth and everyone else gets negative 2% growth, but overall this would result in 3% economic growth, have we all got richer?

To be fair, I didn’t expect them to get anywhere near so whether the testing capacity is now 80k, 90k or 150k per day, all I know is it’s far better than it was a month ago.

I’ve always felt its a widely available accurate antibody test that we/everyone needs (assuming level of immunity post contagion), or high testing capacity to be working in conjunction with the tracing/tracking app. Hopefully both are on their way

Ps think I just heard 122k were ‘carried out’ yesterday...wonder if a load of randoms will receive one in the post tomorrow...whether they wanted it or not ! Either way, to get the capacity to a decent level in a month is a positive

I was amazed at the massive jump over the past few days and wondered how they managed that in so short a space of time, and also why on earth it took so long.

Then it seems like always they've spun the figures and they've just sent loads of tests out and counting them in the figures.

Think people are aware of it but what do you do? If you point out the number is wrong you get the situation we're currently in where as you say people think there's a big number and you did it. If it's not challenged you end up with the same result, there's a big number and you did it.

Be interesting to see how they maintain the 100K a day figure as it wasn't promised as a one off, it was meet that target and maintain it.

Since yesterday morning the site for booking tests has shown no home testing kits available and there's people on social media saying they've booked to visit testing sites and when they've arrived there's other people waiting for tests but no staff, other people saying they can't book anything local and are being sent to testing centres hours away.

Think they're going to start counting hits to the website as completed tests!

You said no economic growth resulted in everyone getting poorer, thereby implying economic growth resulted in everyone getting richer. I've showed that isn't necessarily the case.

You can have a situation where you could have an overall economic retraction but most people becoming richer because they'd have more spending power because of who the retraction happens to.

It is an issue of equality but the statement that no economic growth will result in everyone getting poorer is not necessarily true.
