London has a slightly bigger population than Qingdao - how long would it take for the whole of London to be tested I wonder?

I'm sure there are a lot more than 12 cases in London as well.

as an aside, I fully respect the lengths that guy has gone to to win an argument on Twitter about how big Sheffield is.

The short answer to the question is a very long time. I know a lot of faith is being put into test and trace (t&t) and that the existing arrangements are a shambles. The system requires any person with a positive diagnosis to isolate and it seems only around 18% comply and 82% don't.

However, any t&t system requires the population to cooperate and that isn't happening according to the independent statistics. It seems to me that t&t may not be the answer that many people believe although the government could do a lot better to communicate the need to adhere to the requirements.
