Just refresh webpage, UK minister tells people trying to get Covid testsNadhim Zahawi says supply of lateral flow tests increased to 300m a month and English schools to receive stock This is just complete bollocks. The whole reason cases are “plateauing” is that people cannot get tests. Why would you even allow an article to be framed in this way. nadhimzahawi are you serious? Refresh the webpage? Are you not ashamed of saying this publicly? There are no tests in the pharmacies or webpage, sort out the supplies, so our children can go to school and stop saying nonsense! Take some lessons on planning! Still i prefer to focus on prevention than test.
