I still can't see it costing that much. I'd like to see an itemised invoice if I was paying for it.. It wouldn't be being set up up for a few people and if there
were, say, 3000 tests done how could it cost 450,000 pounds?

People are weird.

A £200 return flight to Europe gets paid without quibbling about how much the plane costs, what the landing fees are, how much the fuel costs and what the staffing costs are, but a fairly high tech medical test, carried out by trained personnel leads to demands to see how the cost is broken down.

But, seeing you asked, it's from the States and is postal, but it'll broadly be the same

Don't want to pay it ? Then don't, just do the 14 day quarantine.

I'd imagine if it becomes part of the new norm, airlines will offer flights into the UK which optionally include a test, and they'll negogiate a bulk discount, some of which they'll pass on to the consumer.

It'll likely price some people who can't work from home on return out of the foreign travel market, but we're in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, so in the grand scheme of things, it's hard to care too much about that.
 
Sons just called his boss asked if he can go back on furlough as he lives in Manchester and his mum looks after his children 3 days a week .Was told know will need to take unpaid leave and to keep in mind they'll be having more redundancies in next few weeks.
But as they say we're in this together(untill we're not).So he's going to work on Monday and the mrs will be going looking after the grandchildren and Hancock and fat lad can do one .
This scenario will be repeated all over the country before long and if you don't have child care tough luck. Idiots the lot of them .
 
Unbelievable that he said that his government's management of the pandemic in "driving the virus down" has been a" massive success."
What planet does this scumbag live on?
Worst pm in living memory
It's just like his brexit slogans and b.s. He'll say, do, act in anyway if it suits his ego and latest whim. He has no business being in politics.
 
Long turnaround times only result in money for those providing them, they have zero use in reducing the spread.

Mother in law who as you know is doing the track and trace inadvertently let a family know they had it as after 20 days no one had called them back with their test results.

They were none too pleased. Luckily she was an RN for a long time and was able to calm them and let them what to do next and calm them down. They didnt blame her just super frustrated.

Based on that, anyone arguing against increased action in new high risk areas, and continuin action in improving areas, is a bit bloody dense.
