100k tests

[motorbiking]

Pretty impressive ramp up. Did they fudge it? I certainly wasn’t convinced they’d hit the target. Either way it’s an impressive performance to hit a massive stretch target.

 

[SirGalahad]

What target did they hit?

 

[fillyboy]

What target did they hit?

The one you said they wouldn't. (we'll know for sure about 3pm, it's a real nail biter)
I read yesterday even Germany were impressed.

 

[fillyboy]

Make no mistake though, if we do hit the target, there are those on here who will somehow portray it as a failure.

100k people tested. Sure

 

[EddieM]

80k yesterday apparently.

80k yesterday apparently.

Tests not people tested.

 

[EddieM]

Tests not people tested.

Was the 100k figure for people or tests, don't recall. Would the same person be tested in the same day, again I don't know.

See, he can't even wait till 3pm.

anything over 90K or a 100K by 1st May (data released on 2nd) and I will say good enough as target essentially met.

 

[motorbiking]

Yep - me too. In business sometimes you set impossible targets, to see how close you can get.

But before the Neg'ers start. The commitment was:

The government is aiming to carry out 100,000 coronavirus tests a day in England by the end of April, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said, as he announced a "five-pillar" testing plan.

This was on the day, that 10,000 tests were being done.

Not
- 100,000 people
- 100,000 anti-body tests
- 100,000 driving tests.

100 Gloves...

 

[charliegolf]

The government is likely to meet or "come close" to its target of 100,000 daily coronavirus tests, Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has said.

From BBC, a direct quote. If it refers to anything other than 'tests carried out', then it's a despicable use of wanque-words. If tests conducted, then kudos to everyone involved.

100 Gloves...

50 pairs..so what

 

[Munroast]

Tests not people tested.

what do they mean by 'tests' if it is not 'people tested'?
