Why are we not testing everyone, every 2 days, at least?

The Sunderland Forum deals with all local issues in the chat rooms above. However, this is the General Off Topic Forum. So, this area is for all non-local-issues, for example, national news or any other interests etc.

Surely that would give us a much better chance of slowing down, and containing the virus?


It's as if the government are just letting this rip through the country, without any attempt to stop it.

It's bold what they are doing.
I sort of agree with it but they need to make sure the vulnerable groups are catered for.


What was that you said again?

That's not true. They are doing their best under the circumstances and after taking in all the evidence from medical experts and scientists.

They changed their opinions when they realised the NHS would come under stress so they are going for preventative measures with social distancing etc.

They couldn't test everyone anyway.
The UK has 65 million with about 5 million illegals.
Testing regular would be an impossibility at this moment in time.
