discussion point; why are we spending £40bn on a mass testing programme?
Why not just treat and test those who need to come to hospital? why bother testing the populace at large?
so we can find the hotspots and clamp down? well, given that every single reactionary policy has come as the case numbers have been falling, as in Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, London didnt even rise, then i'd say they've been a bit pointless.
why not spend £40bn on other public health like nurses, clinics, ICU beds etc.
i've become very jaded with the testing programme, it seems like a LOT of public money being thrown after something that wont change much - those who need to go to hospital will.
