'More draconian measures' will come in if neededThe UK's coronavirus testing system - for so long a source of embarrassment for ministers - could get a major boost with millions of new fast turnaround tests, Boris Johnson has said.
The prime minister told a news conference on Friday the country is developing the capacity to manufacture millions of the tests, some of which could give results from saliva samples in just 15 minutes.which are faster, simpler and cheaper.Will people die as a result of politicians 'squabbling'? "Though there is work to do, it is becoming clear over the past few weeks that some of these new tests are highly effective and can help us save lives and jobs over the winter.
"We've already bought millions of these tests, some of which are very simple, meaning you simply need to wipe the swab inside your mouth and can give a result as quickly as in 15 minutes," he added."We've started building the infrastructure for domestic manufacture of these tests, ensuring that Britain has the ability to produce millions of fast tests here.
"Over the next few weeks we will start distributing and trialling these tests across the country," he said, adding that some of the fast tests are already being used in hospitals.
It's the same test re-badged. Everyone knows the PCR test cannot test for covid, now this one can, even though covid has still not been proven to exist! More fake news from the home of everything fake.
Could
Oo which Tory donor will get the billion pound contract for this i wonder?
Yes, this is interesting, what's actually going on😳👇🏻
Even more embarrassment after yet another lie. I just can’t get my head round this government. Failure after failure and lies after lies 😡
Something is up with PCR false positives. If its serious then shit is about to get real as we will be unable to accurately monitor the impact of C19 during 1st UK winter. This will not bode well for 2021. These quick tests, if they are flawed will cause further untold damage.

Sean O’Grady: Without a vaccine, the UK may never tackle coronavirus effectivelyAs issues continue to plague the ‘world-beating’ test and trace system, perhaps we should get used to these unpredictable stop-start lockdowns How well has the flu vaccine worked? Has flu been eradicated? Its like you all forget we are humans ,have a immune system and survived for quite some time without any 'vaccines'. Its a virus, we are humans, let it do its thing as intended. Natural selection, you can't escape it without making things worse. Nature always wins.
