Put more emphasis on Mass Antibody Testing!?
Surely a better way to approach the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK:
Lets test everyone to see who has actually been exposed to COVID-19 and is immune to it. Let those people who are immune go back to work, lets build that national picture of herd immunity.
We cannot hide away forever and by doing so you are just prolonging the duration for this virus to infect others, hoping some how that it will burn itself out. By the time that happens this country will be in tatters, both morally and economically!
The UK has always come together in times of hardship, we have never shied away from a fight. In both WW1 and WW2 the nation stood tall, standing shoulder-to shoulder and we prevailed!
Lets make a stand now.
