Coronavirus: NHS staff offered new COVID-19 tests after initial checks found to be flawed - https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-nhs-staff-offered-new-covid-19-tests-after-initial-checks-found-to-be-flawed-11976873

NHS staff already tested for coronavirus have been informed their test results might have been inaccurate, a health minister has admitted.

Helen Whately, the social care minister, told Sky News that those healthcare workers are now being offered another COVID-19 test after their initial test was deemed to have been "not up to scratch".


The Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday that a leaked document revealed tests on thousands of NHS staff were found to be flawed.

The memo from Public Health England (PHE), dated 11 April, warned of "degraded" performance, meaning the test results are less reliable than first thought, the newspaper said.

It also said PHE testing centres have now been told to stop using existing tests by Thursday and to instead use tests supplied by commercial firms.

The governments handling of this is getting worse by the day.

 

[JAMIECCFC]

This is a major problem with trying to rush these testing kits out as we don’t even know how accurate they are

 

[TH63]

Kier Starmer giving Raab a right shoeing

Accurate testing has been and still is a major issue around the world.

 

[Goslow]

Accurate testing has been and still is a major issue around the world.

Nonsense, it's just the Torys trying to kill everyone.

Yes

 

[Worse]

My sister was on about this when we talked this morning. Lots of tests are returning false negative results in her hospital. Then a few days later, patients are exhibiting symptoms and further tests show up as positive.

 

[Hartley]

Yes

I suppose it's better than in the USA where the president has been trying to push a malaria drug that could actually kill you quicker than the virus

You're really taking the furlough situation badly aren't you.

That really is insane. How he's not been sacked for that alone is astonishing.

I suppose they've got the same blinkered right-wing apologist bum lickers over there that we have over here, they can get away with literal murder forever.

 

[Hartley]

You're really taking the furlough situation badly aren't you.

YES

At least hes holding the chinks accountable.

Nonsense, it's just the Torys trying to kill everyone.

Unpalatable truth is always best hid as a conspiracy theory. It puts the masses at ease.
