I am no medical expert, virologist or epidemiologist.

But I do have common sense and can conduct quality research. 1/12

The MSM keep attacking the government over testing. This is despite the CMO, CSA etc telling them, repeatedly, there’s a global shortage of the chemicals required and that the tests need to be reliable.

But the MSM scream “what about Germany and their amount of testing?” 2/12

Now I can’t explain why Germany can or are testing so much.

But common sense shows that it is pointless. I will explain why. 3/12

If the UK were to test at the same rate as Germany (~500k/wk) it would take the UK 134wks (2.6yrs) to test the entire population.

The test at the moment only tells you if you currently have the virus. 4/12

So I could test negative today and then get infected next week, be asymptomatic and the stats would then be wrong.

Testing also will categorically not reduce infection rates, death rates or cure the virus. 5/12

Until the UK has a reliable antibody test which, (according to experts like Professor Van Tam - a flu, vaccine and respiratory expert) take 28 days to form in the body of an infected person.

Then mass testing is of no use as explained above. 6/12

The tests we currently have should be used for those who are admitted to hospital and used to regularly test NHS workers (say weekly maybe?) so they can be allowed to continue fighting the pandemic and caring for those most in need. 7/12

I hate to point this out. But the media have a job to do.

That is report the truth. Question if necessary. But unless you get irrefutable scientific/medical facts (not an opinion based from your ego) to contradict the Gov advice. Then MSM should report & back Gov advice. 8/12

The @CMO_England & @uksciencechief are not stupid. They are some of the very best in their field of expertise.

The MSM or people on social media should not attack them for how they look or for what they are advising.

They are the experts, not us. 9/12

So if those tagged can stop being so hysterical, calm down and report facts and truth. Things will be a whole lot better. 10/12

Oh and here’s a thought. Whilst the MSM are reporting how many die/newly infected each day. Why not also report how many have recovered?

Worldwide that figure is currently 185,883 at the time of this tweet according to
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu  11/12

Let’s all listen to and follow the government advice.

Protect the elderly & vulnerable and keep the NHS able to function. 12/12
