Selective figures:
A record 177,216 coronavirus tests were carried out in the 24 hours to 9am this morning. The figures were announced after Johnson restated his ambition to get the daily total up to 200,000 by the end of this month. The figures have often been criticised as misleading. Statistics on the Department of Health and Social Care’s website show that although there were 177,216 tests, only 60,744 individuals actually got tested during this 24-hour period. The figures now also include tests carried out for survey purposes, including antibody tests to see if people have had the disease. These survey tests account for 23,601 of the daily total.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

There is a suggestion that one of the testing centres (not sure yet, if they mean the places where you get tested, or the places that do the analysis) had some production issues - so the 0 positive is a result of 0 tests done/reported that day.
I'll try and locate some sources other than tin hat types.

But where is this testing going on?
I though that if you have the symptoms you should self isolate in your house.
You can't visit a surgery.
So unless you have a car and willing to go for a swab, if they still do those, not quite sure how this is happening?
Another disguised push to get the numpties back to work?

Of course, there are consequences to that, not least being you'll have no money to buy food, or put a roof over you and your family's head. Or, are you suggesting that only 'key' workers should go to work and you should live the life of Riley safe in your little shell, with all the luxuries of the proceeds of work, but not having to actually do the work?
Like I say - your call. If you don't want to go to work, don't. It really is that simple.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
