Spent the day in Bolton, visiting the university with my daughter. Literally saw one (1) other person wearing a mask - despite the signs everywhere and a robot voice at every door telling all visitors to "please wear a mask". Even the staff weren't bothering. It's like everyone's decided that the pandemic is over but someone forgot to take down all those silly posters.
Good, glad to hear it. Many people have woken up now and understand the massive fraud that has taken place.

Well Johnson dropped the moonshot aspect of the rhetoric very soon after it first came out of his gob.
That level of funding quickly went out of the window, and they convinced themselves that certain forms of testing for events wasnt really necessary in order to implement their unlocking agenda to the timetable they eventually settled on.
The routine use of LFTs in a bunch of contexts is what I tend to think of as the successor to this hype.
I didnt find all this hype and subsequent scaling back of ambition terribly surprising given that they tended to fall back on hype about mass testing whenever we were in the middle of big waves & lockdowns. Its one of the main things they reached for in press conferences of those times, using it to act as a light at the end of the tunnel in terms of managing mood and expectations of the future being better whilst people were living under harsh restrictions. In the second wave/big lockdown we got Moonshot, but there was similar stuff in the first wave too, when by April 2020 they started to dangle the future prospect of mass testing and antibody testing as a saviour, a way out.
Some detail that emerged when Moonshot was first vanishing down the toilet:

Covid-19: Government shelves plans to invest £100bn in mass testing
The UK government has abandoned plans to spend £100bn on a massive expansion of its national testing programme, legal documents have shown. A letter from government lawyers also reveals that the ambitious Operation Moonshot programme, first revealed in leaked documents seen by The BMJ last...

To add: it may be that we are starting to see clearer signals of previous infection, re-infection, and the shortcomings of the current system in illustrating that, emerging.The situation is worse now

Of course these maps depend on the testing being done to find the cases. In sweden they’re telling people not to get tested if they’ve been vaccinated, which is a wonderful way to hide the true case numbers since most people are now vaccinated.
Would be fascinating to see a map showing actual case numbers, but we will never see that.
