Today the Department of Health and Social Care is writing around to ask who can “supply COVID-19 relevant materials and equipment”. Even asking me. Never mind that they have failed to respond to many offers to date, nor that the South Koreans did all this months ago.
Whitehall is working night and day on this and should not be rushed. How likely are 100,000 tests a day this month?
Of course, if you can offer help or resources, do so.
