Same with the testing , back in March, at one stage I had some very minor symptoms so I went to the St Vincent tried to get tested , the people there asked a lot of questions including the rules that as soon as I got the test I have to head straight back home and stay there for 14 days quarantine, basically he had succeeded in talking me out of it as I couldn’t be bothered in the end . I think that had to do with the limited resources they got at the time so didn’t want to waste any kit on people who didn’t really need to be tested ? And now, they want to test as many as they can !
That's not a fair assessment...just because it's available in plenty does not mean it is required...let me just clarify...i am more interested in knowing how airborne virus can be contained using mask... droplets hands down mask wins.
