Save Lives End Covid 19 Save the NHS
We have the right to know if we have Covid19 and at risk of infecting others
Government must end all speculation by setting a budget for production of mass testing kits to be given to everyone
Results must be used for analysis & data should be used to isolate anyone infected for 14 days
Current strategies will only lead to loss of lives and extended isolation
Prof Chris Whitty the government’s chief medical adviser stated -
"The crisis is to last until spring 2021 and could see 7.9m hospitalised"
4 in 5 people 'are expected' to contract the virus
which means Prof Whitty’s mortality rate of 0.6% equates to 318,660 deaths
The mortality rate is now closer to 2% so this figure could be tripled
This is not acceptable
Test the UK with immediate effect
