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.

Testing people before they are admitted isn't going to fix that, I would have thought.
FWIW I'm going to assume that the 'ops' around a trust will work until they can't, and at that point I'd think you might have bigger problems than 'oh no my data isn't perfect'. I hope it doesn't come to that, mind.

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