• it’s just for data

    Isn't data what we need in order to learn for now and the future?

    Also testing gives peace of mind. Knowing you got/had it, or you've got a cold

    I don’t know - they’ll get good data from the hospitals and will work backwards from there presumably.

    Also testing gives peace of mind. Knowing you got/had it, or you've got a cold

    When there’s a faster less resource hungry test available that will happen

    Possible best course of action -

    If you have the symptoms assume you’ve got it

    Once recovered behave as if you haven’t had it

  • That data won't be good if the coders in trusts aren't able to work. It will be the WHO ICD10 emergency covid code and that's probably it, no co-morbity codes to identify risk factors. That's why the list of co-mordities hasn't really changed, Clinical staff won't be inputting data in their downtime, they'll be sleeping.
    Also, banging on about it again, but if anyone ever needed motivation to quit smoking, this should be it.
