66,400,000

25,000

= 2,656

2,656

= 7.28!

Anyone else see the obvious problem?

I don’t know what the factorial of 7.28 is, I thought you could only do it on whole numbers?

Sorry - the ! Represents the shock in the number 7.28 (I didn't think about that lol)

Do you see what's wrong with the number 7.28?

Number of years to test the entire population. Quite a long time!

66,400,000 - I'm assuming that's the population of Great Britain?

You've worked out the approximate number of years it will take to test the whole population of the UK.

The problem with the number is the assumption that they intend to test the whole population.

66.4 million UK population, 25,000 tests per day = 2656 days or 7.28 years to test the entire population?

And that just 1 test per person

But don't forget that the whole population can test itself.

When you can buy the test online eventually (as rumoured) then yes you can.

No math needed.

It help with identifying who should be properly isolated.

No problem at all with the raw number of tests. The tests are not intended for mass testing the general population. It's intended for diagnosis of suspected cases and then to be used to with contact tracing to limit spread by quickly isolating those infected.

The faster we begin large scale testing and tracing the fewer people we'll have to test overall.....

The problem isn't the total numbers so much as the time already squandered...... a fraction of those tests, done three weeks ago would have saved thousands of lives!

Anyone else see the obvious problem?"

Only at the point the test is taken

Just like STI testing...

1 minute after a negative test you may pick it up, you need testing regularly.

7 years just for 1 test each

Op you assume that 66.4 million people will still be alive to be tested in 7 year's.

Try taking 10% off that number where will we be at then.

What is the point of testing everyone? Front line services I can understand. But if I am tested today and don’t have it. Go out to the shop come back. Do I have it now or should I be tested?

If I do have it, but don’t present symptoms I should stay in (like we have all been told to do) so now I know. Yay! My life didn’t change.

If I do have it and am already presenting symptoms, then chances are I know, if it gets worse then I will need to go to hospital. Again, what would testing do?

Why does the entire country need to be tested?
