Who knows. All I know is that the UK Gov's dashboard (which is now not working) and the PM have always said there's 300k-a-day testing capacity, which I always assumed to be equal to the number of tests the NHS can analyse and yield results on and not the number of oversized cotton buds to shove into people's noses.
