There's a couple of things that surprise me here.
1/ The amount of tests from the likes of Korea etc are not as much as a difference as I was led to believe by comments on here.
2/ Why did Peston decide to stop his list at UK and not publish those beneath us
Had a series of communications from a mate in HK today that I thought was extremely interesting. I might copy and paste when I get a bit of time. |  |

Wow there’s only 20 countries in the world?! It’s also out of date as UK and France are both on 460,000 now |  | | |

You found that quite quickly and the one I look at each day is easily accessible but Peston can only find one that shows the UK at the bottom of a list. Well done Robert | | | |

Is it Argentine now?
EDIT: My mistake, that's the Falklands isn't it? Doh!
Second EDIT: which is still 3rd in the list. Why did they get 319 tests? [Post edited 18 Apr 2020 15:13]

Plenty of valuable sheep in the Falklands. |  |

The problem that no one wants to recognise - from your link is thus.
Accuracy
In March 2020 China[59] reported problems with accuracy in their test kits.
In the United States, the test kits developed by the CDC had "flaws;" the government then removed the bureaucratic barriers that had prevented private testing.[60]
Spain purchased test kits from Chinese firm Shenzhen Bioeasy Biotechnology Co Ltd, but found that results were inaccurate. The firm explained that the incorrect results may be a result of a failure to collect samples or use the kits correctly. The Spanish ministry said it will withdraw the kits that returned incorrect results, and would replace them with a different testing kit provided by Shenzhen Bioeasy.[90]
80% of test kits the Czech Republic purchased from China gave wrong results.[91][92]
Slovakia purchased 1.2 million test kits from China which were found to be inaccurate. Prime Minister MatoviÄ suggested these be dumped into the Danube.[93]
AteÅŸ Kara of the Turkish Health Ministry said the test kits Turkey purchased from China had a "high error rate" and did not "put them into use."[94][95]
The UK purchased 3.5 million test kits from China but in early April 2020 announced these were not usable.[96][97]
At the risk of repeating myself I don't trust the tests and I don't trust any countries official data including our own, apart from North Korea of course who have done spectacularly. | |

The Jewish Labour supporter who used to write for The Spectator and the Telegraph?
That must cause some conundrums for you. |  |

Political point-scoring at this time of global crisis that's being exacerbated in this country by government incompetence is very poor form. |  |
