Sorry to hear about your circumstances Frank. That’s rough and I hope you’re getting the support you need.
I’m self employed, without accounts as it’s a new business and am just getting over a dose of C19. Tonight my wife has gone down with it and the kids have been coughing over the last couple of days too. It’s a worrying time and there are many worse off than us.
I‘m feeling better each day and will soon be able to work. A growing number of people of working age are in a similar situation, not to mention potentially large numbers of people who have contracted it but are asymptomatic. Are we expected to sit at home all summer when we are (presumably) immune and pose no risk to others who have also recovered? If the vulnerable are in lockdown, at what point can healthy people who pose no threat to them return to some semblance of normality?
I want to be tested to ensure I have immunity as soon as possible. If I have immunity I want to be able to get out, either for work or as a volunteer. The tests and the wider consequences of the tests are, it seems, fraught with risks of one kind or another, and I understand that there would need to be strong controls.
But without tests to show who has had it, and by extension who is no longer at risk, what exactly is the exit strategy here? Can we have that debate?
