Should be easy enough then for you to provide the evidence you have that contradicts the ECDC and ScotGov then? The question that you have ran and hid from at least 3 times? Will we make this 4? Your question was filed in the bin 24 hours ago and when I put something in the bin it stays there. I don't rummage around in there to pull it out like your shitflinging mink of a colleague on #teambeige. Thanks for playing anyway.

Alert Mongoose Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 First of many no doubt but the Welsh Government have admitted to publishing in error details of those who have tested positive. Scandalous that could be allowed to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She continued: “There was a proposal over the weekend that the available slots at mobile testing units and regional testing centres in Scotland would be reduced and the health secretary managed to avoid that happening so that we retained full capacity for Scotland. “We have no indication at the moment that there is any significant issue in Scotland with people accessing testing slots.” Ms Sturgeon added: “The issue that we do appear to be suffering some impacts from – and again it’s a UK-wide issue – is a backlog in tests being processed that is then leading to a longer turnaround time.” Ms Freeman said she had “constructive conversations” with Mr Hancock and her Welsh counterpart Vaughan Gething about the backlog, which she said was being caused by rising demand and “an issue with the speed and capacity of processing the tests”.Anecdotal of course, but at the one at Broxden they were sitting about doing nothing for at least half an hour, yesterday afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 17 hours ago, Wee Bully said: Starting to look like it’s coming. Just to provide some much-needed context to that graph: tests have increased ten-fold since the middle of April where that peak is, and are about 3/4 times higher since the beginning of July where the trough is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS Quote Ms Sturgeon added: “The issue that we do appear to be suffering some impacts from – and again it’s a UK-wide issue – is a backlog in tests being processed that is then leading to a longer turnaround time.” Processed in the labs. If the problem was not enough people handing out swabs they would just hire more people. The testing slots are limited by lab capacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
