Critical for front line staff, but for the wider population not so sure the Government would be that keen.
On the their website this morning the figures up to yesterday (31ST March) were 143,000 tested with 25,000 tested positive, (i have rounded up the figures)= 17%.
If the government were serious about testing 25,000 daily then based on similar results of those already tested would mean 4250 extra virus cases DAILY, a figure the NHS would find difficult if not impossible to cope with, so my suspicion is that they will delay the 25k daily testing as long as possible.
BBC south east news reported last night that in East Kent, the Margate hospital had reached it's capacity for those needing critical care and thoughts were on constructing a makeshift hospital similar to the one in London, somewhere suitable in the region.
