\"\"<\/a>“On September 9, prime minister Boris Johnson announced the government’s landmark Operation Moonshot <\/em>programme,\u00a0which aims to deliver up to ten million tests a day – covering nearly a sixth of the entire population\u00a0<\/strong>– and return results within as little as 20 minutes. Coming at a cost of a reported \u00a3100bn,\u00a0just shy of the entire annual budget for the NHS, it has the twin aims of boosting economic activity\u00a0<\/strong>and avoiding a second national lockdown. But without better tests, it could end up creating more problems than it solves.”<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Big Problem With Operation Moonshot – False Positives<\/em>\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0– Wired<\/p>\n

Operation Moonshot: What do the leaked documents say?<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
Operation Moonshot is the name of the UK government’s<\/strong> newly proposed COVID-19 mass testing scheme. The plan, revealed by The BMJ,1 involves an expansion of testing from the current hundreds of thousands of tests each day to 10 million a day by early 2021. But how does the government propose to do this?<\/h5>\n
How will testing increase between now and early 2021? The documents show a proposed three-stage rollout. They state that the UK will carry out between 200\u2009000 to 800\u2009000 tests a day between September and December 2020. This might break down to:<\/h5>\n
200\u2009000 tests a day on people with symptoms, 100\u2009000 a day on people without symptoms in local areas to suppress outbreaks, 250\u2009000 a day on people without symptoms in the NHS and care homes, and 100\u2009000 a day through national prevalence studies. From December the plans propose increasing daily capacity to between two and four million. This would involve mass testing of all homes in local areas or whole cities when prevalence rises (430\u2009000 tests a day), testing high contact professions such as teachers every week (100\u2009000 a day), and testing people to allow them to enter high risk settings, such as visitors to the hospital and care homes.<\/h5>\n
The plan then states that there would be “full rollout” in early 2021 to 10 million tests a day, to “enable people to return to and maintain a normal life.” At this stage, weekly testing would be made available progressively to the whole population to allow people to go to high-risk events by using a “digital passport” to show they have tested negative for the virus.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
