After Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland have the second and third highest rates of coronavirus infection, which corresponds with much higher than average testing rates, said Cox.(Colin Cox, the director of public health for Cumbria)

Did you see that when Hancock met his '100,000 tests per day' target, they included 40,000 tests that were 'in the post'?

I think they've done that every time they claim to pass the 100,000 tests per day target.

The number of tests are calculated on the same basis as they were when there were 10,000 tests per day...

I know, I was being sarcastic!
But there are a couple of serious points. Firstly, most people weren't aware that they were massaging the figures [AKA 'lying'] previously and secondly, pro-rata it was a small actual number, now it is a huge number. They can't claim to have completed tests simply because they were posted out. Although, this is the same bunch who claimed they would increase the number of nurses in the NHS by not letting existing nurses leave, so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.
Can you imagine the Daily Fail headline if Diane Abbott had said the same thing?

I’m sorry but that’s absolute rubbish.....
Lots of other countries showed how it was done, we had a semi lockdown with planes arriving and no checks.
I hope criminal charges are brought against them for the deaths they have caused.

I know, I was gutted by my incompetence. However, I was also rather smug, safe in the knowledge that while half the world went mad for toilet roll, I had plenty in my pandemic flu emergency stock! And we had rotated our dried pasta so that wasn't a problem!

Bullshit.
In COBRA meetings Governments take advice and act on the scientific experts that are employed just for emergencies like the Coronavirus. The same advice would be given whoever is in power. Our death rate in relation to population is lower than Italy and Spain , maybe Belgium. Are criminal charges going to be brought against their leaders ? Scotland's infection rates are worse than England and their care home deaths are twice the rate of those in England , is Nicola Sturgeon going to be charged ?
No need for the nasty personal remarks although that is a characteristic of the intolerant left.
60,000 ! Is that Dianne Abacus's figure. When all the deaths are analysed in the aftermath then a good number will be found to have passed away from symptoms not directly related to Coronavirus and that it was a contributary factor in their death but not the only factor. How many people die every Winter from flu and other viruses , it probably dwarfs the death toll from Coronavirus.
Due to being in hospital and ICU for about 4 weeks and then recuperating the PM has not been on very many platforms with Chris Whitty so not sure what you have been watching. You were probably one of the left that was praying for him to die.
The cheering you refer to was for the defeat of a Labour motion but don't let the truth get in the way of a good smear.
The infection rates are higher in Wales , Scotland and N Ireland than they are in England and they have their own devolved governments dealing with the crisis.
