Maybe he could use some of the 18k he has been paid this week to pay for some doctors and nurses to be tested .. you know just out of curiosity Why should he?

By testing and knowing he has it he can fully isolate to prevent spreading it. So he doesn't social distance either.

Kew Owl Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Irrespective of whether you agree that he should have tested himself or not, surely he would have been highly irresponsible not to officially report to the club that he had tested positive ?

SallyCinnamon Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If you have access to a test you would take one. Can’t blame Sam for that. Its not his fault the government aren’t doing more testing for those who need it the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Where exactly do these home tests go to get verified? Wherever it is...they should be doing testing for the vulnerable and nhs staff. Not for folk who wanna pay £250. Makes no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it's a political decision, but it's no different from private healthcare which isn't exactly a new concept. Frankly, given that this is the way healthcare in the UK is split anyway, it's far better for as many people as possible who can afford to pay for private tests to go ahead and do so in order to help safeguard everybody else.

@owlstalk Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 The more people that pay for these private tests the better. If they are available and people can afford them then please hurry and go ahead and take them. The government can/will organise everyone else through deciding how many to do of the general public/NHS workers etc Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope he gets through it ok . I am getting on a bit, so when I had a cough (wrong sort) headache, and high temperature in the first week, went through isolation, second week went back to work still didn't feel good, end of week eventually got through to 911 who informed me that I didn't have the virus, third week had pains in my left arm, slight pain in right, how ever I am a delivery driver so do a lot of heavy lifting got through to 911 again to be told I may have covid 19, but by now I didn't have the flu like symptoms or hot chest, so I don't know if I have or have not, doesn't really answer your question but tells you how the experts without test don't know.

Once production is ramped up these tests will cost about a quid on Amazon. It doesn't often go reported in the media that between 50% and 75% of those that catch Covid19 are completely symptom free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
