I mean the govt could equally have targetted 80k people per day and the result would have been the same. I suppose its not a round looking number. The logic, I guess, in reporting tests/day or testing capacity is that its impossible to know, presumably, how many people need to be tested twice so that figure would be variable and hence something that would be more difficult to fix a target to.
So I don't blame the govt at all for the tests/people thing. I think that is a total non issue.
What I do want to know about is this lag in the confirmed vs the positives. That's important because it affects the data in a very meaningful way. This is what we should all be talking about.
