'Prioritising tests'

[Yetiyoga]

I heard on the radio this morning that they are going to be prioritising tests to the most urgent. What does this mean for income? I can't afford to take 14 days off work if I get a cough that may or may not be covid. And I'm sure many others can't either. It was bad enough that results can sometimes take several days but 2 weeks is shocking. When will this mess get sorted out? Or are they going to pay us all to stay off? (And no, SSP isn't sufficient!)

Getting quite scary the amount who will send in sick children as they can’t get a test rather than isolate to stop the spread.

Yes, it is scary.

But it makes me realise how unsafe it is for ds, and that we just can't risk it
