I get the feeling they don't want the antibody test so that people can be relieved and be able to go back out into the world, part of which includes work, but has many other elements too. Just want them back at work so they're no longer a drain.
Rightly so, in my opinion. It's not about people being a drain it's about people's livelihoods, their mental health, and our economy. It's about successful businesses small/medium/large that are going to go bust even after they've had their short-term govt bail out. People seem to hear 'economy' and think of rich fat cats lining their own pockets but the economic impact of all this is going affect everything. It's going to affect every single one of us for a long time. Absolutely we should be focused on getting people back to work if they are immune.
Lives come first but I'm all for antibody tests being used to get people back out there (after the NHS and other key workers have the tests they need of course).
