3:16Now PlayingThis virologist explained to Nigel Farage why UK mass testing is lower than countries like Germany.
Nigel cited that 25% of NHS frontline staff are at home and was in disbelief that the UK have only tested 2000 workers.
"We had all these assurances that we were ready, that we were capable, how is it that Germany is in such a better place to test people, including key workers?" asked Nigel.
Virologist Dr Derek said likened the global chemical supply to empty supermarket shelves; with any other procurement problem, "you're relying on your supplier having the material and quantity you're led to expect in the past."
"We didn't get to the source fast enough," the doctor said.
"These things, particular equipment, materials that are needed for the production of the testing kit are going to the highest bidder and a lot of the time they've already been bought."
However Dr Derek Gatherer did say he's not convinced mass testing is the answer in this coronavirus pandemic.
