what does how you voted have to do with anything?

It may be prudent.. but not possible if people are self isolating if they “think” they are infected. We can’t track it accurately now so it’s irrelevant.

What difference does testing make? At this stage

Trying to slow it, not stop it. We can’t stop it.

No. I was just telling you to stay home. Do everyone a favour
If you fail to understand why testing and confirming whether people have viruses or not is important then you'll never be convinced.

Big pharma is really scamming everyone for testing kits in that case.

I'm not sure what my individual choices have to do with my views on Government policy. If every idiot and their dog (metaphorically) is spreading it around for the next three months on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer then there's little I can do personally. I'm less likely to catch it now than from the millions of carriers that will be out there without intervention.

However I'm taking reasonable steps to minimise risk - working from home as much as practical.
