The test is useless, if you don't know this then do some research, the test is being used to generate cases which in turn is being used to instigate these lockdown variants.There aren't solutions to protect the vulnerable whilst the virus is spreading through the community. South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand, China, Germany and Taiwan have all approached this differently and far more effectively with far less impact on their economies. Test, test, test, suppress, suppress, suppress was the only way to do this from the beginning and, even now, is still the only way. If there was a vaccine guaranteed in 6 months, it would still be the only way. We're so far back and falling further back by the quarter, we have squandered every opportunity.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,”
