I got chatting to the lady shuffling along 2m behind me in the supermarket queue.
The conversation turned to the coronavirus, as you might expect, and she told me she worked in a care home. There are sixty or seventy regular staff, many of whom also visit other care homes. The last time she was tested was three or four weeks ago.
She agreed that this was an absolute disgrace and a disaster waiting to happen (or already happening).

I can't see how the testing would make much difference, it's the staff goi,ng from home to home that is the problem
@Sm - testing would catch the infectious carriers and put them in home quarantine earlier than symptoms.
SM, I agree with PW. Care home workers should be tested every few days. It's not particularly intrsuive or expensive.
With a test turnround of at least five days i don't see how this would help
SM, five days late is still better than every four weeks. And sure, those turnaround times shouldn't be more than 24 hours.
