Re: Italian mayor prints local 'currency' to help residents in need Archived Message Posted by Mary on April 2, 2020, 8:39 pm, in reply to "Re: Italian mayor prints local 'currency' to help residents in need" I got the amount very wrong but it's probably 'make it up as you go' anyway so it doesn't matter! I heard Hancock quote Boots as the recipients of one of the contracts. I think it was diagnostics. Yes. 'The increased testing capacity will be delivered by an alliance that includes Thermo Fisher Scientific, Amazon, Boots, Royal Mail and Randox, alongside the Wellcome Trust and leading universities. The antigen tests spot viral proteins in the blood and are a much quicker way of identifying whether someone has an infection. For other infections the tests can give an answer in less than an hour.' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/27/frontline-nhs-staff-first-to-receive-new-covid-19-antigen-tests Outsource. Outsource. Outsource. That is the Tory mantra.
