Immensa: A Big, Big Problem

Yet another world-beating UK fiasco! Immensa is a private Covid testing laboratory, based in Wolverhampton, England. It erroneously informed circa 43,000 people, mainly in S-W England, that they did not have an infection with Sars-cov-2 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/23/covid-testing-failures-at-uk-lab-should-have-been-flagged-within-days). The error should have 'been picked up within days' by Immensa's quality control processes and/or the UK Health Security Agency. There was neery a peep out of either. It was actually left to 'customers' complaining about their tests, before the alarm was raised. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of contacts could have been infected by the virus. This would especially be the case, as people in England, have been encouraged to operate without any of the former Covid19 restrictions (wearing face-masks, social distancing and working from home). I wonder if anyone will eventually be found to be liable for deaths as a result of this abject failure?
