How the government changed the rules to hit their 100k corona target
 

Shock

So we cant count home testing being labour supporters dont want it to be counted

‘Trust us’ they say

Also why are the left expecting people with symptoms to leave their homes get on public transport to go to a testing centre

Do you ever proof read your posts? Half of them never make sense

Not too sure why you’re trying to clock me when yet again the government bend the rules to make themselves look better

Home testing is an important part of testing

If I say that I’m going to beat Mike Tyson, it can’t just be counted as a dub for me without me actually beating him can it?

Counting a verbal promise as an action taken is purposely misleading and deceitful

You cant expect people to go if they are ill or unable to get there or simply have work at that time

Only if labour supporters agree, apparently.

Of course not, but the government shouldn’t count them as being tested when they haven’t been, to make themselves look good

‘Don’t make this political!!’
‘God, Labour supporters wanting people to die, disgusting! Corbyn’s fault!’

Labour supporters will never being happy despite benefitting more from this then they would under labour

This is nothing to do with labour :umm2: stick the topic at hand and stop trying to cause an argument

I think most people will be happy when the government stops playing with people’s lives tbh

They are not really playing with peoples lives over the testing though are they

It is, but sending 40,000 tests in the post is not the same as those tests being carried out on the same day

This. Is. Insane.

So many contributors to this thread are purely being political. That tells me that the government are doing a good job because people don't seem to give a crap about the virus anymore and are only interested in bashing the government

Sums it up nicely.

The government is doing a good job... because people are criticising their behaviour? That’s a wild take

Think you’ll find it’s just Adam

Definitely a wild take, you see people in the UK moaning and laughing at how North Korean's worship their government like some god and ridicule those who dare question them. However we've been developing the same principles here any question of their action is responded by "HOw DAre YOu QUeStion THem" "They're doing the best they can"

The government shouldn't be doing the best they can that's what you say to school children who are trying to achieve a good grade. A government's job is to do whatever is in the public interest for health and safety and do that to the highest standard.

North Koreans dont worship their government at all

If they disagreed with anything they would have a bullet in the head for the trouble

:joker:

Can always count on Adam for a laugh.

Only one (Adam) has brought politics into the thread.

:wavey: Yes it seems that way.

Y’know, I think Putin is actually doing a pretty good job, I mean, everyone slags him off so he must be right? Good ol Putin, killing those gays and ruining democracy, people are way too mean :(

The only people being political are the ones saying anyone who criticises the government are clearly biased, sour faced lefties

Maybe learn that the government is part of politics

Except, that's you making it political by believing the government is beyond reproach and people have ulterior motives for having genuine concerns.

I'd understand this viewpoint if the criticisms were silly, but they're not.

Which has what to do with the post you quoted?

I mean its obvious all Smithy wants is to talk trash on the government it's all hos threads and posts have been about

People were clamouring for more home tests, they couldn’t get out, they couldn’t drive, so presumably all those tests snapped up will be sent back ASAP as they all have symptoms ...the people who turned up at test centres yesterday won’t have their results either so what’s the difference .., and if they don’t return them and are saving them for a later date, shame on them for taking a test from someone who could really do with it

The 120k tests figure does include 40k where they haven't got the result back yet but the test has still been despatched and what's really important is having the capacity to do that many tests. The 100k target was always fairly arbitrary really, it was just that the government needed to massively ramp up its testing and they have done that increasing it by ten times what it was only 3 or 4 weeks ago

His threads... with valid discussion points.

:clap1:

I think they should count home tests that have arrived back. So, they don't necessarily have the results yet but have received the samples for those tests to say they have been "done". Counting tests that have been posted is far too unreliable IMO.

I wouldnt call making claims we have the worst death rate because we are adding on the care home deaths while then saying the deaths in care homes in other countries are not an important stat

Also the fact this people are getting so angry yet we are testing more people then other countries

We’re 54th overall in testing levels
