A positive COVID test does not mean you are infected or are infectious.
All it means is that viral RNA from the COVID 19 virus has been detected in your body.
The testing is chaotic, the data derived from the pcr testing is confused at best and misleading at worst.
As SOSPAN has said, the key to knowing what is really happening is to get a robust and credible testing system in place.
But if, in 4 to 6 weeks, COVID hospital admissions have not increased and death rates are within the normal expected range at this time of year, what is to be done?
Spend more and more, keep restrictions in place, or say enough is enough, it is all over, nothing to worry about, go back to normal?
Governments will not accept that, because it makes them look stupid. So they will continue with their confused position.
I used to be a long term member of a Political Party, it matters not which.
Today I resigned, I have no confidence in any of them.
