CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

I think we need to get our testing requirements sorted before we worry too much about the rest.

Identifying a threat is probably a bit more important than mitigating against it.

i.e.  I just spoke to one of the stores men at our health service and he advised me he has had one covid test the whole way through.

This in itself isnt a massive issue, but when you consider he stocks the shelves in ICU, Theatres, and all manner of other locations, I think it would be reasonable enough to see all staff that work onsite in high risk locations tested once a fortnight.

I myself as an IT support worker have only been tested reactively (symptoms) like him, and that means that we have multiple workers who only get tested once symptomatic.

Is that a much bigger risk profile than anything else?  Id say so.  Sure we all wear masks and stuff, but we are more likely to super spread in an environment where things are dire than anyone else, and there is literally no requirement to test unless symptomatic or exposed.  Thats a bit silly.  We villify the people fleeing lockdowns, but lets face it, when you declare a lockdown starting from X tomorrow, then that in itself leaves too much scope for people to simply leave.
