Not good, even if the sample is small. Now imagine if that was across the whole NHS, even at on,y 20%, not 40%. | | | | |

The reason as I understand it is that the scientific bods don't trust the test. I keep hearing that a bad test is worse than no test. Are they wrong? Not quite sure what to believe. | |

Of course a bad test is worse! If the test says you haven't got it and you have and then continue to work....don't you think that would be problematic?! | |

Does it somewhat depend on the test and the accuracy? An example: With no test, and no symptoms, all people matching that could work in a hospital. With a test that gives say false negative rate of 10%. Then 90% of people with no symptoms that have the virus, will not be going to the work in a hospital. 10% will, that is better than 100%. Equally well if the false positive rate is at 10%, then that reduces the number of people that could work, 10%. But how many people with some symptoms are self isolating when they don’t have the virus. I fear that the bad test argument is spin from the government to help with them explaining the lack of testing. Even easy tests for things like pregnancy are not 100% accurate. | | | |

Even worse when they don't have the PPE available. We recruited old and retired (i.e. Vulnerable) medical staff and then didn't protect them. It is getting to a point of criminal negligence imho. | |
