BetsyBasset He must be watching the wizard of oz

The corona virus has taken over the running of his brain.

May 2022, he will specify on June 1st.

I’ve been trying to run 5 miles lately. Fucking knackered but just about been making 4 miles most days. Gonna give a 10 miler a go tomorrow.

Oh look a baby

In total?

They couldn't even crack 100,000 without fiddling the numbers! Get these fuckers out of government.

They haven't got to 100k yet.

Dream on fake Boris. Numbers in image are from German Robert Koch Institute. Daily capacity of 141,815 last week (w18). UK not managing 100k tests at the moment, how can he talk about 200k, absolutely delusional. Not enough O2 for his brain?

never gonna happen

maybe it's me, I just can take this bullshit any more. This carefully arranged casual hairdo, the pseudo-intellectual speech fitting maybe into the past century and a glorious past long gone. Poor Britain.

Ha

And 75,000 on the June 1st.

Deaths or Tests? Sorry, I haven't got my glasses on?

20K tests that are only 60% accurate...

Is this just by posting them out BorisJohnson or do you mean actually carrying out tests?! Try and do the promised 100,000 first eh love?

End of May A bit late ain’t it?

But this is too little too late To be of use beyond key workers: The antigen test has about 30 % false negatives. It is hard to find an answer but it seems if viral shedding can be from 20-37 days. Think the PCR test will not detect for all of this time as insufficient material?

Yeah, yeah yeah 🙈

They can’t manage 100k per day😂

Another distraction to deflect criticism.

Really ? 😅

Then what? How do your triage? Since we have no effective treatments or vaccines, what do you do with the testing results?

Think of a number . .

We need to be hitting a minimum of 3 times that before we can start contemplating easing the lockdown. That's actual tests not made up the test is in the post tests. That is the bottom end of the scientific concensus.

What is the point of stating an aim that you’ve not got a hope in hell of meeting?

We will take it onthe chin if he does not make it. How can people put up with his bullshit

This time next year Rodders....

how long till the whole country it even 50% tested?

Not more meaningless targets

Can we have the results of the tests done, what % were positive please

Hope his aim has improved, missed all the others. 🎯

Bla bla bla lies and lies all you’ve got just bullshit 💯 He couldn’t get The 100,000 tests and failed for the last three days 😤 it’s obvious they treating the public with no respect and sooner than later they’ll start to milk us every penny they’ve spent 😡

Does he also want the moon and the sun ? ;)

Royal Mail going to be busy on the 30th and 31st then as a result of 120-140,000 packages being dispatched !! 🤔

Not a bloody clue

This is like all those fake numbers in '1984' and 'Animal Farm'.

That’s a lot of postage and packing charges! TestingForCovid19

That's a lot of stamps - let's hope they put return addresses on this time eh?

100k+ will be 'in the post' including those with no return address and are thus useless!

Polish aim has been 20,000 daily since a month and hasn't been achieved yet.

Boris- Let’s go for a gazillion! Gullible Tory voters - We won the war so that doable!

And what is the failure rate for self administered tests? No point issuing them if they aren’t producing results.

Prepare for 200k to be posted out on May 31st.

Another round of “let’s say a very big number...”. Without thorough, relentless and rigorous test, track and trace implementation this is pointless. But the opinion columnist has proven to be none of these things.

And on june 1st the number tested will plummet!

Johnson looked at Starmer the way an ageing wildebeest looks at a lion......

150 thousand testing kits are now being stuffed into the backs of mail vans for delivery

Another dead cat ... hits the table

So here we go again, same way they 'reached' the target of 100k by end of April.

Seeing is believing; or should I say 'testing is believing'?! coronavirus Covid19UK testing seeingisbelieving BorisJohnson testinguk promises pandemic

Hold on mate. Let’s stay steady at 100K if you can make it, first!

Mr. President, HELP!, more People Are Dying do the unconstitutional US States Lockdown, use E.O.s, military, & AG to force states & open Economy, It's a National Security Issue. False shortages, food dumping, civil unrest, No Liberty, No Freedom, & Streets will run with blood!

They never achieved the 100k target in first place (the fibbing of numbers) and that is why for last 3 days, they never reached it. Now, they’re gonna pull 200k out of the hat. They’re a joke.

Haha I'm sure looking forward to how they inflate those numbers again a few days before the end of May!

Let’s try for the 100,000 goal first shall we?

Boris Johnson indicates lockdown will be eased on MondayBoris Johnson acknowledges statistics are ‘appalling’, and says testing capacity hampered early response Nidhi This pic seens like they are doing advertisement of a Gel and there photos are like Before and after applying Gel. Fun 😂 However, no elderly are protected because this requires that all personnel, with or without symptoms, wear filter protection on inhalation and exhalation. This minimizes the risk of infection and doses of infection if infected by covid and thus improves the prognosis of covid19. I’m still working on a translation of why it has to be Sunday, before Parliament has a chance to debate it. Not that I don’t trust him, you understand
