News bulletins need to stop broadcasting projections on tests or ventilators or anything else in this crisis...instead they should focus entirely on where we are today. Exact numbers.
Just watched item built around Matt Hancock’s new target - as opposed to tests done now.
This still has the feeling of ‘aren’t we doing well?’ And given track record I doubt that there is that much confidence new target will be met. Hope I am wrong.

I did watch the whole budget programme when I was a teenager and think it was quite exciting. My wife insists this is NOT normal - and by extension - I am lucky to actually have a wife.

Every category should be updated with an actual STAT...including beds, ventilators, PPE, tests....so we can judge how the ‘ramping up’ is going. Gov Cuomo is nailing the press conferences.
Govt briefing - giving cases and death stats at outset = good. Lack of empathy and going straight to support for business = bad. And drop ‘whatever it takes’ because on tests, protective clothing, charities and so much more, it's not happening.

The key to this - is what assumptions led up to the stop, whether there were ingrained prejudices. That doesn’t seem, from this, to be covered in what has been looked at. It’s the issue at the root of many of the stop and searches and the area that needs to be robustly examined.
