Government is lying about lack of availability of CV testing chemicals

DD says some of her undergraduates are volunteering to work on the testing. they are all biochemists and used to working with viruses. She won't be able to do any herself because her DH has serious heart and kidney problems and is being kept isolated,

Sparkling...you got it in one! ?
Gransnet should really be re-named ‘Armchair Critics’ ?

Armchair Generals?!! Now they really do have the crystal ball!

If you disagree with what someone has said, why not explain why you disagree, instead of ridiculing people.

Keir Starmer has wasted no time in this crises, and has already talked to the Chief Medical Officer and the CEO of the NHS.

He is taking part in Cobra next week

Just heard that Royal Marines have taken testing equipement from Dundee university to relocate it in England?????What about us all being in this together? Mind you thats a well worn phrase that always means Westminster takes anything it wants ,This time using the armed services to take it .Angry ,you bet I am .My small town is seeing deaths daily from CV ,another old friend today so OUR testing labs need to be used here

Before you get too annoyed paddy perhaps we need to look at it in more depth to find the truth of the matter.

Have you got a link to that paddy?

Perhaps they need it in Wales.

probably sending some of it to H&M in USA (stir, stir, )

The whole of the UK needs testing equipment, we are all in this together, united we stand, divided we fall etc etc.
Jingoistic nationalism has no place whatsoever in this current crisis.
They probably need to test the testing equipment at another laboratory to discover if it is fit for purpose before issue nationwide.

The University of Dundee has helped establish Scotland’s central COVID-19 testing facility in support of the national response to the coronavirus pandemic

The centre, based at the University of Glasgow, was announced by the UK Government yesterday as part of a series of measures to increase testing and response to the spread of COVID-19 across the UK. It will be opened in collaboration with the Scottish Government and industry experts from BioAscent Discovery Ltd and Dundee’s Drug Discovery Unit (DDU).

The Glasgow centre is one of a number of new hub laboratories to be opened in order to increase COVID-19 testing during the crisis. The centres will be coordinated by the Medicines Discovery Catapult, and the project supported by partners Thermo Fisher Scientific, Amazon, Boots and Royal Mail, alongside the Wellcome Trust.

Thank goodness some can see that we need a united effort.

I think they should ask Trump now Namsnanny!
He's not wearing a mask, he could lend them a couple of his.

He thinks that wearing a mask will make him look un-statesmanlike (hollow laugh.)

Ha ha

Has he looked in a mirror?
