The Government has never explained what that trade-off is, and this episode tells us how much trouble we're in when it comes to the question of responding intelligently to COVID-19 and getting our way of life back. This crazy problem of trying to accept what the evidence is on testing, understanding what saliva testing is, contracting someone to deliver it—all of this has taken a year for a relatively simple technology to be absorbed. Now, can you imagine this Government as the COVID world becomes more complex, as we're trying to safely reconnect with the world, as other countries are doing, to get our way of life back? This Government doesn't have the ability to make rules that are proportionate to risk, that apply equally to all; to assess the evidence and use the best technology; or, apparently, to write good contracts and get the technology so that we can have a better and stronger response that's more nuanced and can deal with COVID as the world begins to reopen and safely reconnect different countries.
