"Tests abysmally low" ????https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ies-worldwide/
Every country could do more but remember; all the testing in the world on its own will not prevent viral infection; only the actions of the public can reduce the spread of infection.
Even countries far more strict than here are seeing huge growth in infection rates - and that's not excusing the dire figures, it's a fact.
Global figures continue to rise.

Asked about delays faced by people seeking a test, or long trips to testing centres, Johnson reiterated his promise to increase daily capacity to 500,000 a day by the end of next month.
The number of recorded cases since then has increased fourfold while the privately-run Lighthouse labs have lost their professional staff and replaced them with unskilled labour, a move which has not only adversely affected efficiency but caused at least one lab (Milton Keynes) to be in breach of several sections of health and safety legislation.

Covid: Wales to go into 'firebreak' lockdown from Fridayhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54598136
Primary schools will reopen after the half-term break, but only Years 7 and 8 in secondary schools can return at that time under new "firebreak" rules.
Gatherings indoors and outdoors with people not in your household will also be banned.
