Too late shirley - peak infections will be now (with the obvious delay in impact on the NHS). I imagine new infections will tail off - sociable people have already caught it.

What really riles me is the claim by the UKHSA that there is "unprecedented demand" for tests. This implies that the gov'mint was unprepared for the great unwashed to do as asked and test before engaging in social activities. They have driven the demand and so should have ensured corresponding supply.



I think I'll just stop testing.
