Offer Covid -19 testing to everyone, NOT just those in hospital.
This government needs to be more transparent about the severity and number of cases of this virus.
This can only be achieved by offering testing to all those exhibiting symptoms in the wider population.
Like many of the population I am in the vulnerable category and have many symptoms similar to those of Covid - 19 but according to NHS 111, they do not match the narrow criteria for testing.
Offering testing to all will provide the most accurate data to inform the government's decision making and will ultimately save many lives, contributing greatly to slowing the spread of the disease.
Choose to save the people, YOUR people, the economy can and will recover, dead people cannot.
