COVID19 1 Million New Cases | Hospital Overflow | Stay at Home Lockdown | Panic
#13
It has nothing to do with a type of virulent flu, it was about setting up a reset that paid-up whilst the
global arrangements were being made. The fear that the media have caused -a dread that no news-outlet
has questioned -oddly enough, can be seen as false when for the UK, the same media's only concerns are
for theatres and bars to reopen.

And as far as testing for the flu in the UK, it was just another scam by a Tory Government to hand money
over to one of its pals. Cronyism, a regular friend of the Conservative Party and has been for decades.
Big Pharma are laughing at us right now.

So who's running these 'National Health Service' (NHS) tests & trace systems in the UK..?
"The National Health Service, of course!" would be the answer because the MSM tells us so, but you'd be wrong.


Quote:The ‘data processors’
Thirty-five organisations are listed as “data processors” involved in the NHS Test and Trace system but only four
are NHS bodies. Four are Lighthouse Labs.

The Lighthouse Labs
The Lighthouse Labs are “super labs” set up specifically to test for coronavirus and form a central part of the
UK’s fight against the pandemic. There are Lighthouse Lab sites in Glasgow, Milton Keynes and Alderley Park,
Cheshire and the project is funded by the UK Government.

But while the overall responsibility for the system lies with the Department of Health, they are are managed through
a partnership with the Medicines Discovery Catapult, UK Biocentre, the University of Glasgow, GSK, AstraZeneca,
the University of Cambridge, and PerkinElmer.

The remaining 22 are private companies: 

ACF Technologies – provided software to enable you to book a test at a regional test site.

Amazon – provides logistics for home delivery of test kits, collecting completed test kits from
homes and delivering them to labs.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) – provides digital solution for ordering home test kits.

AstraZeneca – analyses samples from the completed test kits.

Barcode warehouse – provides bar codes for test kits.

Boots – provides testers and test supervisors on regional test sites.

Deloitte – manages the registration and appointment booking, provides the capability for users to enter
sample bar codes and responsible for holding data captured by the registration system and making it
available to the NHS.

DHL – collects completed test kits from homes and delivers to labs.

EMIS Health – provides Keystone product to enable NPEx to link your test result to your GP record.

Experience Lab – provides user or market research for people who have undertaken tests.

G4S – provides facilities management for some regional test sites.

Jigsaw24 – provides mobile phones and SIMs for the mobile test units apps.

Kuenhe + Nagel –  Collects completed test kits from homes and delivers to labs.

Levy – provides facilities management for some regional test sites.

Palantir – analyses anonymised data.

Randox – supplies home test kits, analyses the samples, informs you of the result of your Randox home test.

Royal Mail Group – collects completed test kits from homes and delivers to labs.

Serco – provides facilities management for some regional test sites”.

ServerLabs – builds the “digital solution”.

Sodexo – provides testers on regional test sites, and facilities management for some regional test sites.

Teleperformance – provides call centre assistance.

TransUnion – provides identity verification checks as part of the registration process for a home test kit.

Quote:Test and Trace staff spent just 1% of their shifts actually working during height of coronavirus pandemic,
damning report claims
By Daniel Martin for the Daily Mail
Published: 00:04 GMT, 11 December 2020 | Updated: 00:24 GMT, 11 December 2020

*System received £22bn with promise it would prevent a second lockdown
*Some 18,000 call handlers were only working for one per cent of the time 
*Another 3,000 were drafted in to help but they spent just four per cent working 

'NHS Test and Trace call handlers spent just 1 per cent of their shift doing any work at the height of the
coronavirus crisis, a damning report found last night.

The under-fire system received £22 billion in funding with the promise that it would help prevent a second lockdown.
Some 18,000 call handlers were taken on in May, but by June 17, they were working for only 1 per cent of the time
–the equivalent of just under five minutes over an eight-hour shift.

Another 3,000 health professionals were drafted in to help with Test and Trace, but despite the Covid emergency,
they spent just 4 per cent of their time working. The shocking statistics are revealed in a report by the National Audit
Office, which monitors government spending.

It found that between May and November, just 32 per cent of people infected with Covid were reached by NHS Test
and Trace – well below the target of 44 per cent. NHS Test and Trace call handlers spent just 1 per cent of their shift
doing any work at the height of the coronavirus crisis, a damning report found last night.

Last night Meg Hillier, chairman of the public accounts committee, said ministers needed to stop ‘throwing money’
at the problem. It came as NHS Test and Trace said regular coronavirus testing in workplaces, pubs and theatres 
could be rolled out in the next few months.

Serial testing to reduce the isolation period for contacts of positive cases and a rollout of community testing in Tier
Three areas of England are also on the cards. Publishing a business plan for the coming months, NHS Test and Trace
said objectives include expanding the scale of testing to ‘enable our largest employers, critical industries and the
cultural and hospitality sectors to run regular testing programmes’.

In its report, the NAO concluded that despite the huge spending, too few test results are being delivered within 24 hours,
and too few contacts are being reached and told to self-isolate.

Ministers promised 500,000 tests a day, but just 68 per cent of the target was carried out between May and October.
By mid-November, just 38 per cent of tests were turned around within 24 hours, following a low of 14 per cent in October.

The under-fire system received £22 billion in funding with the promise that it would help prevent a second lockdown..
And although the scientific advisory committee Sage said the system needed to reach 80 per cent of close contacts
to be effective, just 60 per cent were successfully being traced by the last week of October.

The report also criticised NHS Test and Trace for its failure to plan for the reopening of schools and universities in
September. This caused a surge in demand for tests, meaning many people were forced to drive hundreds of miles
to get tests.

Gareth Davies, the head of the NAO, said: ‘The Government has rapidly increased testing and tracing activity, building
significant new infrastructure and capacity from scratch. However, it has struggled to test and trace as many people as
it has capacity to, or to reach the contacts of people testing positive quickly enough.

‘Test and Trace is core to the UK’s pandemic response. It must improve its performance.’
Mrs Hillier said: ‘Speed is of the essence but only two fifths of tests were turned around within 24 hours.
And Test and Trace has only contacted two thirds of the people it knows were in close contact with someone who
tested positive.

‘The Government needs to urgently work out what’s going wrong at every step of the process.
Throwing more money at the problem clearly isn’t the answer.’

The NAO report also found that 70 per cent of early Test and Trace contracts by value were awarded with no competition.
And it criticised the Government’s decision to outsource the tracing of contacts, questioning why local authority staff
were not used. Call handlers were paid about £9.50 an hour.
One revealed she spent the summer watching Netflix – for which she was paid £4,500, despite not receiving a single call...'
