One minister told me yday govt would def hit the 100k target on capacity, but on the number of tests carried out it wasn& #39;t clear yet although they were still hopeful
Suspicion that govt might be changing the target to capacity, rather than tests actually carried out
The 100k target is politically important as a big public promise from govt, but also, it& #39;s a stepping stone to the much bigger numbers of 500k or even a million a day that might be needed as we gradually, at some point, come out of lockdown
