No it hasn't
I said NUMBER OF PEOPLE BEING TESTED not NUMBER OF TESTS.
Past six days it's been saying "Unavailable"

Johnson didn't even know this was the case yesterday, shows how much the detail matters to him |

Assuming the tests are being used on people I would expect the figures to be the same unless some have become addicted to taking the test of course  |

Not sure if true but was reported that they were classing the nasal swab, and the throat swab, as 2 separate tests even though it was just 1 person tested |

That's odd indeed
Surely either test will work no need to try another without good reason
Where was that reported? |

to be honest that makes sense to me , because if the maximum test capacity is 100k thats likely because a lab can process that a day, so if what we are now saying is it takes 2 swabs to test 1 person we cant miraculously double the lab capacity to make it a body count rather than test count |

Each attempt at or 1 actual element of a test is counted 1 test. A throat swab, where someone gagged would count as 1 test. When they redo it, it's a 2nd test. A nasal swab is then the 3rd test.
Kits sent to people who do not get results, with replacement kits sent again, count as more tests. 
We should have problems have been counting the actual tests per person, when the lab processed the swabs, as the actual test. |

The test is a throat swab & a nasal swab at the same time with the same swab ....
Throat first then nasal because no-one past 5 likes boogers in their mouth  |

"119587 on the 27th. "
...tests sent out, not tests done. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they have yet do actually do 100,000 tests in one day. Instead of them lying to us, give us the facts  |

I'd like to know the actual daily death rate not the numbers added on from weeks ago because of lazy and slow reporting..
Adding "In the last 24 hours" after the daily reported number is a play on words to make it appear worse than it actually is.
Stalling for time basically

I’m yet to understand why anyone is remotely concerned about the numbers being tested. It makes not a jot of difference. Test centres are open, available & easy to book / use. If people want a test, they can get a test. No one if forced to go & get tested. People with higher risks are routinely tested.
The critical detail is the number of new cases & the number of deaths. |

I'd also like to know the recovery rate as well. Other countries have managed to produce it but we are steadfastly against releasing it for some reason. |

I think it does make a difference. I mean how do you get the critical detail of new cases without testing people?
It's useful to note how many people are being tested especially with the lock down being eased as they can then show that the restrictions being lifted hasn't had a negative impact on effectively managing the virus. |

Yes the 7 day average is far better. I don't see people stalling for time. It's when the doctors do the death certificate and then processed. The government don't control this |

At the start the government were rightly criticised for lack of testing. Now they have improved it people criticise and say its not important  |

Really, I'm aware of an instruction to doctors to include covid 19 on a death cert...
They're after control of the masses through fear..

Isn't the fact that the number of infections had been reducing an indicator why the number of tests will follow ?
The only important issue is the ABILITY to test, but I guarantee that won't last a minute longer than it has to |

Yeh we are crap aren't we.
Not like we've built a testing system up from zero, testing tens of thousands of people per day for weeks on end or anything like that.
We are as bad as Brazil aren't we. |

People ARE being re-tested. But not on the same day so number of tests on a day = number of people that day. Some NHS staff are being tested on a weekly basis as they are in daily contact with covid patients. Being negative on a Tuesday doesn't mean you are still negative on the Saturday... |

We don’t know full recovery rates, or how well people are recovering, as there’s very little follow up on people.
My brother had it right at the start of the outbreak. He was told he’d be checked up on after his second negative test and given a list of things to keep an eye on. There was meant to be a follow up as well.
He had to chase his test result (was waiting to get back to his wife and child) and phoned in early April to ask a question and was told he’d be called back.
He hasn’t heard from anyone. His information about the ongoing query he had from he got from family members who work for the NHS.

Its said each person gets two tests same time (one is a control?) And so 2 test are counted and reported, so that 100,000 tests are actually 50,000 people  |
