Re: Coronavirus
Requiring a negative test might pass the reasonable test but it fails the effectiveness test in the absence of a joined up response to manage a pandemic. If the latter isn’t required then why impose the former. The next variant to provoke a wave in the UK will already be in the system at low levels rising as the current variants fall. The absence of testing on any meaningful level guarantees this.
The one after that could come from anywhere. The reality is a “concerning variant” will be embedded in the UK population before it hits any triggers (hospitalisations/deaths). Before that point the line will be we have widespread immunity.
