Part of the plan is using the current test as in the past will they pull testing capacity from other areas. Or is this the extra capacity that Boris found by magic ?

It's been the military, army, who've been manning the local test sites since they opened them here.

I don't know,someone I know in Liverpool was telling me and I read it tonight in what I posted.I think it was meant to be rolled out/told tommorow but newspapers/reporters got hold of the story.Just seen it on newsnight aswell.

All fine but if you can't contain it in hospitals with no visitors for many months and with NHS infection control professionals (now under pressure & flack), full PPE now used for everybody within 2m of a patient, any patient, and a huge amount of extra cleaning bods working 24/7, you can't protect a care home.......or supermarket or anywhere really.

What's you're source for infection control people getting flak.

I work in an NHS hospital and haven't heard any such criticism.

Just checked the date of the last test, 24th September, and they were manning the test station then.

Could they shoot you if you decide against it?

Go and then change your mind about the test?

Fewer coming out than going in would lower the figures through.

Lol..sorry had a drink ! Let me get to the end of the Vuelta then and I'll risk a bullet.

I'm starting to think that covid won't turn out to be the prime example that's saves the NHS. But be the one thing that will achieve what governments have tried for years. Mark a turning point in the minds of the public that it's time for it go. Why ? because the amount of media and an ever growing public openly happy to question why and demand services back. National Covid Service is now common place some comments are now getting point that i'd be happy if Mrs 73 and other's just walked away. Be careful people once enough stop valuing things they do go. Once they do they don't came back and very often the grass is not greener on the other side.
