BUT
How come Charlie Boy can get tested when our front-line NHS professionals can't even get a mask, let alone a test?

Tossers, i hope they get prosecuted.
Motorists worried about getting an MOT because of the coronavirus crisis, have been handed a six-month reprieve.
The government has granted car owners a six-month exemption from MOT testing.
However, it won't come in until Monday 30 March which means vehicles due an MOT before then must still take it.
The exemption "will enable vital services such as deliveries to continue, frontline workers to get to work, and people get essential food and medicine," the government said.
The exemption will apply to cars, motorcycles and vans, but the government warned that vehicles must be kept in a roadworthy condition.
Garages will remain open for essential repair work while drivers will face prosecution if they're caught driving unsafe vehicles.
"We must ensure those on the frontline of helping the nation combat COVID19 are able to do so," said Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
"Safety is key, which is why garages will remain open for essential repair work."

I got an email yesterday from a private GP I once used for a 1 off travel appointment (Couldn't get an NHS one without having to travel miles) they offer a COVID 19 test for £395. The relevant part read
"Coronavirus testing- This is done in combination with a home visit by myself with protective clothing. A swab is taken and sent to the laboratory, taking 5 days currently for a result- £395. Due to high demand and limited laboratory capacity, please enquire at your soonest convenience. Thank you. NB I would like to reassure you that the above fee includes our home visit fee with the cost of the swab added without additional margin."
So there are tests there for those who want to pay.

Everyone is trying to cash in.
Some slightly better news - the lockdown should mean the NHS will just about be able to cope .
Disgusting behaviour NHS staff are going to work worried they might catch it when if tested they would know they were immune.
Lets hope Prof Neil Ferguson knows his stuff.
The NHS should be able to cope with the coronavirus outbreak now the country is in lockdown, according to infectious diseases expert Prof Neil Ferguson.
Keeping people inside and increasing NHS staff and beds would prevent intensive care units (ICUs) from being overwhelmed nationally, he said.
There could still be some difficulties at a local level, he told MPs.
But there was now a "reasonable degree of certainty" the government measures would put the epidemic into decline.
