The lack of testing has been blamed for the alarming situation where one in four NHS doctors is off sick – either ill or in quarantine.

The tests introduced for NHS staff from this week have been criticised as too little too late. If staff were tested, they could return to the frontline immediately if the results were negative.

Anthony Costelloという元、WHO母子若年者の保健局局長さんで、イギリスの医師が韓国式の大量検査しないと駄目だ、と、国民保健サービス局のスタッフが病気、隔離で不足になっており、検査で陰性になれば、仕事に復帰できる、と。

そういうことなら、やっぱ、長崎大、キャノン検査と抗体検査の組み合わせが一番いいだろうね。


中国や韓国が感染者減少したのは、大量検査ではなく、むしろ、オーウェル的監視・追跡・公表管理するシステムだったのかもしれんよ。
