1. I have tweeted before about testing but this whole situation is becoming a joke.

Thursday I was routinely tested as I am in healthcare.

Now nearly 96 hours later I still have not recieved my result...

#testingshambles #COVID #COVID19

2. ... Last time I put it down to it being a Bank Holiday. Obviously no excuse but still..

As of last night eldest child has started with a new continuous cough.

Is it Covid? Unsure but in line with guidelines, rightly, he and our 2nd child have to remain off school...

3. After advice from school I have tried this morning to book a test, none available. Not even offering the 500 mile round trip like other people have had.

Nothing is available to me.

I will now wait until 9 then keep trying.

Johnson cannot keep suggesting there are no...

4. ...problems with the system.

This is not and never will be a criticism of the NHS.

They have done an amazing job so far.

This is on the government.

I will update this thread throughout today

Fingers crossed I can book eldest a test so they can safely get back to school
