Yes or No Answers Only. If regular asymptomatic testing is recommended for all adults will you test twice a week?

[GCSE2024]

No.

No, not unless mandatory

Yes.

It’s needed Because often people show no symptoms.

How else will we know that it’s under control?

Yes

Yes

@dingit

I don't get it. Why do they need healthy people to test. Someone explain.

Because not everyone has symptoms or at least not the usual symptoms.

Reading Boris’ comments today about a third Covid wave in the U.K., I imagine we will be under restrictions for quite some time whether we test or don’t test! Testing is not a way out of this.

Exactly - testing only means you're negative at the time of the test.

@Racoonworld ah, ok, helpful thanks.
(I must say I've given up listening to all the Govt broadcasts so had missed that bit)

You have to ask?

yes

No

I've been testing weekly since last summer as am on a vaccine trial. I'm now also doing the LFHs we've been asked to do.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't.

Yes.

No

Yes I'm a teacher it's required

No

Already am kids back at school seems only polite.

@nitsandwormsdodger

Yes I'm a teacher it's required

No it isn’t, it’s not mandatory to test and you can withdraw if you want to

Yes. I work in a school so am doing it anyway.

No

NO

Yes

Yes

Yes.

I don’t know

I can see the positives but on the other hand I’m a bit concerned that the increase in “cases” even if just asymptomatic ones will be used to keep us locked up li fee even where there is no increase in hospitalisation or deaths.
