This will help increase NHS capacity as it is tested in days ahead. The limited numbers of tests probably not yet affected fatalities but may in future if NHS capacity exceeded. Second argument is that testing helps contact trace. But can it do it at the scale we’re now at? /2 — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, a few thoughts on the importance of testing. As far as I can see, there are broadly 4 different arguments for testing. The first is both urgent and important. Virus infection (‘antigen’) testing will help get self-isolating key workers who don’t have CV back to work. /1 — PolitiTweet.org

With current technology, probably not but that will change in future. But the lack of testing doesn’t fully explain why UK deaths higher than Germany of South Korea. Germany looks to be on same trajectory as us (4 days behind), Korea an untypical caseload (a religious cult). /3 — PolitiTweet.org
