This is insane and worrying....! Especially when there is NCYT test kit ready to use now. What are NHS playing at?
Hi Olly8850.
Speaking as someone who is currently in a household of 7 people in ‘self-isolation’, I can confirm that the inability of the NHS to provide and immediate test result means that we now have to wait for the result of the test for nearly 4 days. There are 2 main issues with this;
Firstly, we are cooped up for that extended period and 4 children are missing school and social interactions.
Secondly, anyone we have been in close contact with prior to our being ‘self-isolated’ are still ‘at large’. 3 of our children went to school on Monday. If we test positive, those schools will shut down immediately, to avoid further spreading.
It is obviously in the population’s interest to close contaminated schools etc earlier than 4 days later.
Testing aids the process to restricting spreading.
The real danger here is not the virus per se, but the potential wave of cases all at once. The NHS will be instantly and completely overrun if a million people give this virus in one month. That would equate to 200,000’serious or critical’ cases. There simply isn’t that spare capacity for intensive care in the NHS.
Therefore, of those 200,000 (per million), it won’t be 2% dying but a much higher percentage, simply because most of those 200,000 ‘serious/criticals’ won’t receive appropriate (or any) care.
That is the real risk here. And quick testing will assist in avoiding a massive spike.
Intrepid.
Olly - watch the bbc news - it just said it’s going to have drive tru testing at hospitals. If you live in a house with your family and you quarantine yourself you may still pass it on to family and others around you who may then pass it into others and so on. The only way to slow it down until we have warmer weather (if that works) is to try to contain the spread.
The advice will be if you are unwell and have flu like symptoms then quarantine yourself..There is no cure so what will be the point in finding out if you have it? More people are dying each day from the common cold.
Spot on...I was trying to help the poster with some searching questions to trigger intuition...! That’s why I say education or is it ignorance of the issue!
So many people still don't understand the quarantine process. Its not for the people showing symptoms its for those that have yet to show symptoms....You could come from China with no symptoms at all...take a test with a negative result...but still be put into quarantine as its been proven that you can carry the virus for several days without symptoms...so they don't want you going everywhere spreading without realising you have it
Tests are vital, if we get 1000s if people in London or even up and down the country catching a normal cold or flu and then thinking they have the virus our hospitals will become overrun and collapse, the test will allow nhs to just deal with the people who have this virus and allow the others to go home.
Wow your friends, parents, grandparents will love that attitude chap. F**k trying to prevent, you are getting it. Let the North Koreans hear that.
Mr 1 post needing some attention.
Get lost.
It can not be contained, hence why tests are pointless! Is the flu or a cold contained.
Quick, you'd better pass that insight onto the world healthboards before someone else steals the idea!
You need to be educated fella....for a starter vaccine realistically 12-18 months away (source: WHO).
How do we contain in the meantime?
How do we know someone has COVID19?
How do we decide who to put in quarantine showing symptoms?
OR do you want to put everyone showing symptoms in quarantine for 14-28 days!
Why will we need tests? Tests are not required!
You don’t have tests for a headache, cold, sore throat, or flu?
What we need is a cure or something to aid the illness
