The Tories plan to lick Covid-19 by applying hypothetical testing technology which they will try to develop.

Meanwhile, the Tory minister in charge tells asymptomatic people they cannot have a test. Doesn't he know that asymptomatic people can transmit Covid-19?

A few years ago the Tories said, as they eliminated incentives to install home solar power, that they would lick global heating with hypothetical carbon capture technology. That technology still has not been developed, and people rarely talk about it any more.

I think carbon capture and storage was a distraction technique — and it seems to have been successful, since we still are not taking adequate measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
