They've got to meet these testing targets though!
There probably going out and rounding up randoms to test them.

There will be more and more negative tests, as more people are allowed to get tested and as lockdown relaxes; for example, before going for at least some types of elective surgery it will be necessary to have a Covid test just beforehand. Similarly if they want to establish how many people without symptoms do actually have the disease, the only way they can do that is test people without symptoms.

If packed out Devon beaches today are to go by, there could so easily be a spike towards the end of June. People have come down from all over the country!
People's selfishness will be the death of us all.

More numbers.................. things are definitely slowing but the potential for swarms of Covidiots being out this weekend is "worrying".

That's the number of test kits used or dispatched not the number people successfully tested. Only 50% of the home use ones are ever returned for analysis, the swab test and nasal test often carried out on one person but still count as 2 tests.
I would only test hospitals and care homes , that's where the virus is . f**k all in the community

Still coming in at a consistent level........ think the next 7-10 days will be critical to see the direction of travel.

yes slightly concerning that the numbers coming in are not dropping faster.
Numbers..........

Thoughts..............
Do I think the relaxation of measures is to early? Yes.
Do I think the Government are telling people to act like dicks? No.
Are people acting like dicks? Yes.
However I am equally sure that lots of us are applying common sense and not acting like dicks. I`m probably more worried now than when this whole thing started.

All good progress. We are learning more and more all the time - in a month we will be much wiser.....and/or have more questions too!

Still too many folk coming in.
Expecting an increase in cases.
The "tail" is starting to look more like a series of speed bumps than a decreasing line.
It is time for the Government to pull on the big boy pants, utilise the remaining furlough & support scheme time, and to tell folk to stay the feck at home.

What's the latest and greatest antibody test available to the public? The Mrs has just taken MIL for an antibody test in a nearby village...... going to cost some £70 I think. Hope it's not one of the tests rejected by the nhs

The retail antibody kits are of variable quality. Some are as high as 99.6% accurate.
You can`t beat proper blood sample put through a laboratory analyser.
Basically if it gets "sent away" it is likely to be reliable.
