The only way to make it safe for people is to identify a hotspot, lock it down and manage until hopefully a vaccine is found. How much testing have we done? We have only just started testing frontline staff in hospitals let alone Care Homes etc. There are at least a million people who are having to self isolate to shield family members for three months and frankly until testing is done across the nation they are pretty much prisoners in their own home.

Absolute fucking shambles all round.
Never mind, we can all wash our hands of it with 2 minutes clapping every week.
Do you really believe the head of the trust has to contact the BBC to ask for the numbers? He may have a point and he may be very concerned, but it's this sort of cheap stunt that lowers my opinion of all involved. If he genuinely doesn't have the wit to use google and phone the PR department of the companies involved then he's certainly not capable of running a busy trust in a time of crisis.
If it’s a choice between believing a government that has systematically failed to tell the truth before and after the crisis or the head of a trust, I think I will go for the latter.
We have been messing about with testing for weeks.
Hancock thinks 100k a day is a good target ??? We were conned on that.
A) it's just a target
B) it's tests not people, some people need more then one test - no one has ever said people.
