Tests that could be counted if pushed
Jump to: Newest in thread
For some light relief to contrast the darker points.
The official count of tests doesn't only include tests that have been done but also tests sent in the post on an earlier day, that someone said they'd do, as well as a few other scenarios.
What silly non-tests, those neither of the current date, not actually having been taken, nor posted back, nor processed in the lab etc, could be creatively added to the 'tests' figures? |

A question for you.
If you asked for a home test kit and received it would you carry out the test and return it? |

The test is carried in a lab. You can just take a sample.
If we collect 1 million samples in one day, it doesn't mean that we did 1 million tests. |

Yes
What's your lighthearted fun suggestion for what we'd expect would never be included as a test that's been done and processed?
I'm not aiming for a debate here, as there are plenty of good discussions going on. My opening was a little cynical but in doing so I was trying to set a scenario for some silly ideas, to lighten the forum.  |

"Who really cares how many, and when.
A shed load of tests are being done, carried out, posted out, received back etc every day.
Please can we start looking at positives.  "
This
Who gives a fuck if it's 80, 100 or 120k per day
It's a hell of an acheivment under any circumstances
And the ones that are complaining about not enough tests are probably the same selfish bastards that would refuse to use an app to track them anyway which is the whole point of ramping up testing. |

122k was quoted figure. OK so 37k were posted out. So 85k actual tests.... probably more than 15k received back from previous days posted out tests were received back....still over 100k! |

"I'd tried to frame this as a fun, lighthearted thread. We could keep it free of political scores, blaming etc.
Have we lost our ability to have a smile? "
No offence but what's light-hearted about it? Either I'm missing something or you've got a strange sense of humour. |

It would not matter if 200k tests were done for some on here as they would still complain and run down our country.
I wonder if its not so much what's being done but who is doing it that they don't like |

As of today UK did less test than Germany, Italy, and Spain.
This is a matter of fact.
We know that testing is important, I think that this country should do more. |

I'm sure everyone involved is working as hard as they can in very difficult circumstances

Lost in the post?
Eaten by dog?
Sample given by dog (member of household and concerned owner)
Sterilising the swab before and after use?
Cleaning ears with swab?
A nation of tests, a nation of possibilities. "Oh but you didn't say I *couldn't* so it's not MY fault..." |

If you struggle to do half of what is "normal" for someone else, it means you are incompetent. I don't praise incompetence. Of course the problem here aren't people in labs or thise of take swabs. |

What if you do half of what is “extraordinary“ - that would be the same as 100% of normal ?? |

This thread is about tests as you well know
you even quote it in a previous reply:

you then say:
If you struggle to do half of what is "normal" for someone else, it means you are incompetent
regarding tests (which the thread is about and you quote) the USA have done more than anyone so using your logic
every other country is incompetent.
why do you have to be so negative?
If you look hard enough at any counrty you can find faults
We are in a crisis like the rest of the world. We need positive people and people that recognise all the hard work that is going on and praise them not moan all the time.
As I said before it does not matter what the government do as there will always be those that complain |

Doing tests costs. USA GDP is bigger that the GDP of the entire EU (including UK). Italy and Spain are not generally considered "richer" than UK, but they managed to do more tests. Why? Clearly UK is doing something wrong.
I'm not "negative" this is just what is actually happening.
If this disturbs you I'm sorry. |

As stated before you mention the number of tests performed and said that if a country can not do as much as another they are incompetent. No mention of costs before only now when your called out
As said before its not so much what is being done its who is doing it that negative people don't like |

And the ones that are complaining about not enough tests are probably the same selfish bastards that would refuse to use an app to track them anyway which is the whole point of ramping up testing.
It would not matter if 200k tests were done for some on here as they would still complain and run down our country.
I wonder if its not so much what's being done but who is doing it that they don't like
As of today UK did less test than Germany, Italy, and Spain.
This is a matter of fact.
We know that testing is important, I think that this country should do more.
I'm sure everyone involved is working as hard as they can in very difficult circumstances
Maybe praising these hard working people instead of criticising them would be better
I value results, not efforts.
Wow you don't value efforts
I'm sure all those working so hard to do the tests will be so glad to hear that-not
If you struggle to do half of what is "normal" for someone else, it means you are incompetent. I don't praise incompetence. Of course the problem here aren't people in labs or thise of take swabs.
Wow you must be a motivational speaker in reverse
I assume any country's that are doing less than the UK must be incompetent as well
Is there any country with comparable resources that is doing less?
you wrote:
If you struggle to do half of what is "normal" for someone else, it means you are incompetent. I don't praise incompetence
therefore your saying anyone that has done less than the UK is incompetent
Also it means every country in the world except the USA is incompetent
I can see many countries that are doing better than UK. USA is hardly one of these.
This thread is about tests as you well know
you even quote it in a previous reply:
As of today UK did less test than Germany, Italy, and Spain.
you then say:
If you struggle to do half of what is "normal" for someone else, it means you are incompetent
regarding tests (which the thread is about and you quote) the USA have done more than anyone so using your logic
every other country is incompetent.
why do you have to be so negative?
If you look hard enough at any counrty you can find faults
We are in a crisis like the rest of the world. We need positive people and people that recognise all the hard work that is going on and praise them not moan all the time.
As I said before it does not matter what the government do as there will always be those that complain
Doing tests costs. USA GDP is bigger that the GDP of the entire EU (including UK). Italy and Spain are not generally considered "richer" than UK, but they managed to do more tests. Why? Clearly UK is doing something wrong.
I'm not "negative" this is just what is actually happening.
If this disturbs you I'm sorry.
As stated before you mention the number of tests performed and said that if a country can not do as much as another they are incompetent. No mention of costs before only now when your called out
As said before its not so much what is being done its who is doing it that negative people don't like"
Your argument about USA doesn't make any sense at all, USA is bigger than the entire Europe, of course they are doing more tests than a single European country! UK is doing less tests than many smaller countries. It isn't so difficult to understand. |

You made the statement that if one country or person does less than another they are incompetent. You do not mention size / income in that statement. I am just pointing out that your logic means all but 1 country must be incompetent.

Now, if you ask me why Germany is doing less tests than USA the answer is simple, Germany as 1/10 of people and money compared to USA. UK doesn't have half people and money than Italy, but did half the tests.
This is a fact. Not my opinion. |

I know different countries have different sizes and incomes that's my point.

You did not say its because of size and income. I am just pointing out what you stated. It's on the same reply as when you said you do not value efforts - another amazing negative statement |

I always compared UK with countries that are not unreasonably richer than UK. So yes, if UK is doing less tests than those countries it means that someone here did something wrong. If you have any other valid reason please explain.
I also don't understand all this "negativity" vs "positivity". Do you think that if you convince yourself that UK is doing good, the virus will magically disappear? |

Of course it won't disappear but constantly moaning will not help. People need hope not constantly being told our country is no good. All countries including Germany have problems hence the naked doctors the other day.
I also think saying you Don't value efforts is a very horrible thing to say. So many people putting in so much effort and then you say that.
As my first post read it would not matter how many tests are done certain people will always moan
Maybe you think you can do better in which case let the authorities know your here to save everyone

"For some light relief to contrast the darker points.
The official count of tests doesn't only include tests that have been done but also tests sent in the post on an earlier day, that someone said they'd do, as well as a few other scenarios.
What silly non-tests, those neither of the current date, not actually having been taken, nor posted back, nor processed in the lab etc, could be creatively added to the 'tests' figures?
Lost in the post?
Eaten by dog?
Sample given by dog (member of household and concerned owner)
Sterilising the swab before and after use?
Cleaning ears with swab?
A nation of tests, a nation of possibilities. "Oh but you didn't say I *couldn't* so it's not MY fault...""
