Thank you Nick
Diagnosis is just the first step.
Isolation/containment is the second
Basically every country professional body/crisis unit/epidemiologist and WHO agree on this!
Third step is the one that makes an immediate difference... between life and death... https://twitter.com/nickreeves9876/status/1246557100949585933

...Monitoring in self isolation without nursing/medical care is extremely risky!
Patient with CoV19 may deteriorate rapidly and present to hospital with severe respiratory distress.
This requires specialist care... essentially O2... patients need to breathe...

When do you want to identify such patients deteriorating?
Where do you want such patients to be treated?
Answer: In hospital, in dedicated wards!
Reducing the number of hospital admissions is possible with adequate treatment!
Reducing the number of ICU admissions...

4/7... is possible with proper management
Reducing the number of deaths in ICU (and anywhere else) depends on what treatment and support patients receive.
Now, the public has been substantially deceived on the testing issue, which is CRUCIAL, but alone will not prevent deaths..

Patients need access to treatment options so their family need to reduce exposure
For example, the use of Hydroxychloquine and Azithromycin is well established but currently not widely implemented in the UK.
Similarly other drugs with names too long for a tweet...
Surely...

Whatever strategy the UK GVT/PHE/NHS wants to implement (no testing, herd immunity etc) for the immunisation of a country, this does not exclude a more appropriate management of the sick people who have CoV19!
People are deceived as if there is no cure or no hope...

.. but this is not true!
Deaths can be prevented, numbers can be mitigated
Hospitals can be re-designed for a crisis
The decision makers are culpable for not taking substantial actions for the sick people and accepting a death toll that it is now impossible to predict
