As any been for a test yet? Friend went yesterday to a drive through in Birmingham, 10 tents 30 staff and 5 people being tested. Asked if they had picked the best time and told only doing 50 test most days, as nobody turns up. |

"I'm a bit confused by the whole testing thing.
I could be tested negative but catch it 10 minutes later."
True but government being beaten with it, look at Germany because they tested (bull shit) grasping at straws but need something to moan about. |

My daughter is a nurse she felt unwell so had the test luckily it was negative.My understanding is that its for people in the nhs who are feeling ill so as to protect others.Some have it with no symptoms so i suppose testing would find them but quiet right you could test negative and catch it 10 minutes later. |

Think about the difference between the probability you've been infected in the last 2 weeks vs the probability you've been infected in the last 10 minutes... |

"Am I being naive in thinking there could be testing at hospitals for staff.. "
Thinking quickly
I would have thought it vastly more effective to repeatedly test the same staff daily than it is to use those kits on the public randomly
I will reiterate I do feel there is benefit (if you want to reduce cases) in testing as one early diagnosis will prevent a couple of future infections
But I'd guess it would be test 500 to find 1

I don't drive (I passed my test but have since grown a fear of driving) the only shopping I can buy is what I can carry, we seem to be the forgotten ones in all of this who have to go to shops regularly whilst others whilst others go out in their cars and pack their shopping trollies full, No I am not berating them in the slightest, as I would do the same if I could. But I can't, it would just be nice for some if people of society just gave a little thought out to them! |

Think positive you're fortunate enough to have a reasonable excuse for leaving the house everyday |

But those who test positive can be taken out of the equation. Totally isolated and they won't be able to infect anyone else.
