    What testing technology is currently being used to monitor this in the UK just now?

    I’m hoping that sewage water etc is still being checked.

    Presumably hospital-based testing is ongoing.

    I doubt anyone with flu-like or cold-like illnesses is getting themselves tested.

    My instinct is that we are continuing to fly blind.

      Oh indeed. The government shut down all the testing stations and started charging for kits, then, all of a sudden, the numbers looked a lot better.

      I still have kits but haven’t used one in a while (think I had a bit of a cough) and a friend said she used one today because she was feeling off, but other than that…
