UK Covid death toll

[baggy1]

Why is the Government reportedly looking to spend 100 billion on this Operation Moonshot scheme?

Testing people to establish if they are negative surely only provides a short lived level of security so how frequently are they expecting people to get tested?

Based on their record with implementing any testing scheme I can only imagine it is another way of taking out of the public purse to keep their mates / funders happy with ridiculous contracts that never need to be delivered.
