Boris didn't say 5 mins tests. If he did he shouldn't have. This is the official transcript and it says 15 mins tests, if you read it fully it says
Scientists and companies in Britain and around the world have been developing new tests which are faster, simpler and cheaper. They have been working hard to discover and evaluate new testing technologies. Though there is work to do, It’s becoming clear over the past few weeks that some of these new tests are highly effective and can help us save lives and jobs over winter.
We have already bought millions of these tests, some of which are very simple – meaning you simply need to wipe the swab inside your mouth – and can give a result as quickly as in 15 minutes. Some of these fast tests work with saliva and we are already using these in hospitals.
We have started building the infrastructure for domestic manufacture of these tests, ensuring that Britain has the ability to produce millions of fast tests here.
Read into that what you will. I think he's talking about the maybe the DNA nudge tests. It wouldn't surprise me though he we land an RNS talking about a 15min test we have developed.
what does everyone else think?
