Wales target for 5,000 tests a day abandoned ... 18:21 - Apr 20 with 784 viewstheloneranger

"First Minister Mark Drakeford's strategy for testing has come in for criticism again after he confirmed his government has abandoned a target of 5,000 tests a day by mid-April."

"He said at a press conference that he had given the figure in "good faith".

Its very easy to slam politicians in the current climate. I genuinely believe they are all trying to do their best in a quickly changing, unprecedented situation. Its time for us to stick together and stop trying to score points.

Yes and also it’s so hard to stay mad at Mark Drakeford because he’s so cuddly and cute.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Hardly surprising when we have only just started testing over 500 in a day ...

What was that the WHO said weeks ago?.

Handcock will be next. They are just not testing enough. Two fingers to The WHO by the sounds of it.

Why did we wait for the "WHO" to start the ball rolling?

Wales, Britain have been too slow.

There's this question on why are so many ethnics dying?

Up to 21000 tests per day in England. A long way from the 100,000

Testing is, with PPE and care homes, one of the areas of greatest shambles.

But at some point we’re going to have to decide whether the WHO are incompetent charlatans in the pocket of the Chinese, or ‘they who must be obeyed’. Because they can’t be both depending on whether we agree with any particular stance.

Capacity is supposedly 39,000 or something like that. God knows why we are testing so few.

Why aren't we monitoring health anyway, we shouldn't be reliant on WHO.
This is the organisation that gave Robert Mugabe a "goodwill ambassador " role FFS!!!

I suspect, reading between the lines, our scientists don’t place much store in the WHO.

But can’t really say that as it’s all that developing countries have.

First week in my first job I learned never to promise something I didn't have control over and thus couldn't be sure of delivering.

You're generally right though. Easy to sit there and snipe when people don't have access to the full story, but equally so Politicians should be smarter.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

This with bells on.

Promising to deliver things that are very dependant on external factors is crazy. What is moe crazy is promising higher and higher numbers when there are problems with so many other aspects of the managing of the crisis. As the Archbishop of York said a few weeks ago on Question Time... "Promise less and deliver more".

When I was called in to do a big repair job, first thing the plant manager wanted to know was, how long the job would take.

I'd roughly work it out in my head, add time just incase I miscalculated, then add time should there any snags, then give my approximate completion time.

If I finished early, I was a top man, if I was on time, I was also a top man.

If I overran (which was fairly seldom) I earned more money.

When anyone asks me "how long will it take you?"

I tell them "a bit longer now you delayed me with that question!!!"

And he hashed up the testing deal with Roche before this (and the so called "agreement" has never been published).

The collapse of the Roche deal was the hammer blow to the testing. The paperwork has neve4 been published, but the talk at the time was NHS England came in and took the tests. Probably outbid NHS Wales.
