More Lies From Matt Hancock
For every (one) person they now test, they are counting it as two, one swob up the nose, and one too the back of the mouth =two tests, this is so they can say they have reached the 200.000 tests per day, what the hell is this government playing at? Should they continue to lie to the public in this way you will see breakdown in law and order sooner or later. So the US rioting started off with a murder, but the real issue is their government handling of the virus and the loss of thousands of jobs and a spineless Trump who's not got a clue, very much like Boris. The virus is winning with global breakdown of law and order. 81% of the public now say Cummings broke the rules so if Boris tries another lockdown it won't work, and that is when the problems will start in the UK.

> The double counting issue for nose and throat tests is not true
That's the first time that's been said in this thread. Since that's the subject of the OP, and since gness provided a link to the this story backing up the OP ...

... perhaps you could let us know where the "not true" comes from and then we could stop discussing a non-story.

Easy. It's only a few of the cases that are double counted.
The article says "The double-counting inflates the daily reported numbers by over 20%"
By over 20%. Not by 100%
The start of the article says "Tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been counted twice in the government’s official tally, public health officials have admitted. " But that's only a tiny proportion of the actual tests done

TTT, I answered you at 11:53 and pretty much the rest of the thread since then has been about the lie/deception/misunderstanding.
To save you going back to page two, my answer was:
> so where is the lie?
More of a deception than a lie. If you went for "a test" and when you got there discovered that your "test" involved a swab up the nose and one at the back of the mouth, when you got home you'd probably tell people you had "a test" and you're waiting on the result of your "test".
But according to government stats you would have had two tests. Even though it was one session, and one result.
