Andrew Marr interviewing Sir Peter Horby, chair of NERVTAG, said that despite being double- jabbbed, he contracted the coronavirus last week and that it was very unpleasant. He said that the symptoms to start with were more like a summer cold and he didn’t suspect it was covid.
Sir Peter said that the vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalisation and deaths, but not necessarily infections.
Sir Peter also said that this winter there is increased susceptibility to flu in the population, as there was very little flu last year. And that immunity will decline over time to those vaccinated against the virus.
Putting this together I can see that testing will continue to be needed in huge numbers to keep the country going. The first sign of a cold people will be wanting to get tested. With a new health secretary in place hopefully he will use a sovereign test this time round.
