I see that Boots are going to start offering a sane day Corina test for £120. I wonder if this is profiteering from all this misery?

This is for people who need a negative reading before travelling abroad. It’s not profiteering, it’s fulfilling a need.

If only we had a good testing system,with quick results easily accessed for those who had no car .
I remember a local pharmacist saying to me that he couldn't understand why local pharmacies hadn't been asked to do the tests. Makes sense surely.
I can see the value of the Boots initiative although In the Times there is a short piece advising people to stick to the Serco one (it does say NHS, but I can't call it that in all honesty ) .
