The market he appeals to has no capacity for facts or accuracy. It is the "wee Nicola/big Jason has done well" level of scrutiny he succeeds at.

The general public, a great bunch of lads.

Food doesn't spread covid dum dum

Does the food just magically appear in the UK from other countries?

Are we following science now. As in furiously Google something to back up a point.

Yes. It's all 3d printed.

So assuming you're being glib, you must understand that in order to bring food into the country we need people to actually help deliver it?

If only we had something like testing to be able to test them. Like France did at the border. Dunno how we would do that tbh.

It was in the news weeks ago when the WHO team were in China investigating the outbreak.

I didn’t have to furiously google anything.  I also didn’t say I believed it.

What you said was that we need closed borders in addition to a track and trace system. I'm referring specifically to you saying we need closed borders.

Not testing anyone has a much higher one.

Actually the lateral flow testing has in some cases a 60% inaccuracy rating, you’d have more success deciding if someone had covid by tossing a coin. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/12/experts-call-for-rethink-lateral-flow-mass-testing-covid-uk

Yea, that’s not what the article says.

They promised all this but did nothing to actually achieve it. To do so they would need to have an actual lockdown with closed borders and aggressive track and trace followed by mass testing. After that pretty much live this way until nearly everyone was vaccinated and release slowly while maintaining testing at the borders. What they actually did was pretty much nothing despite being locked down for months making the lockdown pretty much ineffective and a blunt tool that scunnered everyone into not obeying future rules.

No effective opposition and poor journalism meant that they weren’t even questioned really even the health minister is still in a job despite the chaos in care homes. They should have went hard at the start and instead just blamed Westminster for all their failings. I’m not sure how we would have got on without the furlough scheme or access to the vaccine so quickly but let’s not throw stones at that. Entire response is a joke but somehow most think that sturgeon has done a great job. Compared to someone who shook hands with covid patients, well I suppose so. In terms of a global comparison, nope. Total failure.

I can’t believe that anyone is still trying to engage with you considering your petulant sarcastic responses to legitimate questions that you can’t answer. The above, and subsequent comments when questioned on it, shows you as either a dribbling simpleton or a troll.

I’m going with the former.

The article says that Deeks identified significant issues with the accuracy of the tests with the 60% figure coming from a study in Liverpool. Im quite happy with my skepticism of the reliability of LF testing.  
Even if you take the Schools Minister saying 1/3 of tests have false negative results https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-how-reliable-are-the-uks-coronavirus-lateral-flow-tests

then its quite a significant issue. The sage report from late 2020 also puts the 48% accuracy into play. The highest successful accurate test ratings of 70% occurred in testing at Porton Down, essentially conducted by expert lab technicians and scientists, real world tests conducted and handled by trained members of the public appear to have an accuracy of 58% according to another study.
