And the reason why UK companies haven't ramped up production of testing kits is?

be careful - I think I had it, but only had a fever for one day. The rest was shortness of breath, tight chest, dizziness and fatigue for about 4 days, then a gradual recovery
Surely Johnson knew that UK based British companies, were working 24/7 to produce coronavirus testing kits, before he made the extravagant claim to 'ramp up' testing to 250 000 a day?

Telegraph Pete.
Most people on here will see that as fake news.
In fairness most newspapers are so partisan these days I find myself questioning almost everything I read.
It would explain the delay in upping the number of tests though if the report is accurate

I'll probably regret this as none of the threads will make any sense without your posts. But see yer

Good for him, as long as he followed social distancing and hygiene cannot see the harm, like to see anyone stopping me see my mother under similar circumstances... I would happily take the fine and give policing by consent the middle finger and all the sheeple who role over so easily!
Cant get a police officer out to a burglary shop lifting etc. However, they soon have enough check points harassing people, horrible curtain twitching nation we have become...
Supply demand and haggling over cost...
Which underlines the point that one symptom is enough to trigger self-isolation, and how many people probably are travelling around with it.
Johnson claimed 12 days ago that testing would be 'ramped up' from 5 000 tests a day, the to 10 000 then to 25 000 then to 250 000 a day.
"Boris Johnson says the Government is "ramping up testing" to attempt to treat a quarter of a million people a day, as he said the UK could "turn the tide" on coronavirus in 12 weeks.
The Prime Minister said the first UK patient had entered a clinical trial for treatment of coronavirus, and the Government was hoping to invest in a new "antibody test" for the disease that would allow it to test more people.
"We're massively increasing the testing to see whether you have it now and ramping up daily testing from 5,000 a day, to 10,000 to 25,000 and then up at 250,000," he said. Telegraph 19/03/2020.
Now we find out that 250 000 a day wont happen because the UK bought testing kits of a company, who bought them off someone else. Sounds like a right Del boy excuse. Johnson's winging it is costing the UK valuable time in testing for coronavirus. Why didn't Dyson or any of the other UK companies step in and start producing testing kits?

MOSHIRI OUT
I'd be really, really interested when these antibody testing kits become available.
www.telegraph.co.uk
'An antibody test can detect if a person has had the coronavirus before and has since recovered. The test, carried out by a device that pricks your finger for blood, works this out by testing your blood for coronavirus antibodies to see if they have already beaten the virus and gained some immunity to it. It can do this in about 15 minutes.'
These are going to be available in the next few days from Boots and Amazon apparently - could completely change the ball game. Reckon you'll see a mad increase in the number of people who've actually had it and recovered.
How does a coronavirus home test kit work, and how do I get one?
The Government has announced that Britons will be able to conduct coronavirus antibody tests at home within a matter of days with finger-prick kits that will be available from Amazon and Boots.

Think we just have to accept none of this new fangled tech works and we'll just have to go out and wing it like the old days boys.
