The tone of your answer was to try and make me look silly. You probably think you've succeeded but I don't think so.
I'm stopping now to let you have the last word.

If you can’t take a genuine answer to a genuine question that ain’t my problem.
If there was people without symptoms then they wouldn’t get tested. If people abuse that system by getting unnecessary tests then either they are uninformed or misinformed. For weeks locally you have to ring 111 to book a test. They asses your symptoms and say whether you need one or not. If the medical professionals are sending people for pointless tests then it needs looking at. But if you trust them to know what they are talking about then...

I don't know.
But I'd imagine demand in this area would be pretty high, given all the dead grandparents round here in the last six months.

Is that level of service available throughout Italy because there's probably parts of the UK where you can do that

I've just got an email from my daughter's school telling me there are 3 sites within half an hour drive of us where any pupil, teacher or family member can get a test, without appointment, from 8 - 2pm daily, with results available online at 11pm.
If the Italians can do it ....

Thanks Jon for a more considered answer. The reason I asked is maybe people are asking for tests unnecessarily when they don't have a classic symptoms. Should we be testing these people or not, I'm not sure, I'm glad it's not my decision.
Edit
Chuffy has said something similar while I was typing

Do tell what your theory is as to why we are running so many tests if not many people have symptoms
people are getting cold symptoms etc and thinking they have Covid and hence blocking up/exhausting the system, that's my theory anyway 
Other illnesses are available

How rude ask a genuine question to someone and someone else replies with a condescending answer.
Two wrongs don't make a right but I'll do it anyway. **** off you ****

It is reasonable to assume the number of tests carried out (or requested) is representative of the number of people with symptoms, no? Ok, some healthcare workers are tested routinely whether they have symptoms or not, but they must be only a small proportion of the total.
Will a sore throat be classed as a covid symptom by your gp? You'd have to ask your gp.
I thought the classic symptoms were persistent cough, fever, loss of taste and smell.

Hands, Face, Space
Does anyone else imagine some odd interpretive dance going on whilst this is being spoken along with some ‘space sounds’ and star lighting?

What was the claim , world class testing system , slightly overdue , the amount of people i now know with covid 19 is a bit worrying here in Bolton
Have you not heard of “Hands, Face, Space
