Whatever the UK Gov #COVID19 strategy might be, mass testing for infection only works together with & #39;contact tracing& #39; in the early stages of an outbreak, and not in the face of widespread transmission. A this stage, infection mass testing is unlikely to reduce mortality. (1/2) https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1245394675432853506">https://twitter.com/carolecad...

Mass testing for past infection (serology) doesn& #39;t reduce mortality either. It might help getting the economy (kind of) restarted, but the logistic, moral and ethical implications of allowing only the & #39;infected& #39; to resume a & #39;normal life& #39; may not be fully appreciated yet.
