Think we all would have, could have ,should have , instead I kept adding even as high as 9.33
I am not concerned who is doing the PCR testing , it is just further proof to the govt that without PCR they would be even further up the creek minus their paddles.
The reason I am not concerned whose test it is, is because yet again the govt have reacted too slowly and this is already all over the country. They knew in December about this variant ,yet they only stopped incoming flights last week. Already we know it adversely impacts therapeutic treatments ( see Gasmans post) and today I have been reading that two shots required to offer any immunity against the S.A strain and even then immunity around 50 % and even lower in those aged 80 above. This would put the vaccine rollout way behind. Cannot find which paper I was reading this in, please post if you have come across it. So as Van points out these portable integrated instruments are going to be indispensable moving forwards . Today is depressing , I believe information being withheld from the public whist they run like headless chickens as this variant impacts how vaccine is rolled out. I have not read anything on how quickly this one spreads , any info ?
