Covid testing.
Does anyone have the faintest idea of what's going on?
Are we currently working on increasing capacity and if so, what are we aiming for?
Currently in Scotland there is capacity for about 15000 tests a day and about 5000 a day are actually being carried out, is it the same everywhere, I think not?
...and, no I have no idea why we aren't doing 15000 tests a day.
It struck me today when thinking of the Scottish University clusterphuq that no student should have been admitted into a halls of residence without a test. However Scotland has 240000 students so even testing 10000 a day would take some time, although I find it difficult to believe a test strategy couldn't have been organised. My point though is that quite obviously, six months on and we lack capacity to keep ourselves safe while keeping our economy and services functioning.
