Wow. This email from a UK hospital instructs healthcare workers not to test for COVID because it might keep them out of work for longer. What happened to "do no harm"?

(Source: Prof. Stephen Griffin)

Email:Staff should not be testing for COVID-19 The IPC team have been receiving many reports of staff testing positive for Covid. • In line with national guidance, staff should NOT be taking LFDs. • Instead, they should respond to their own symptoms and stay at home if they feel unwell. • Testing for Covid can result in having to remain at home for longer than their symptoms persist. Full quidance is in the attached document which can also be accessed on the IPC page on StaffZone here

Sanity is in such short supply.

Seriously.

This "advice" not to test lest you then take appropriate precautions (among multiple other things)uuuujiuju is so dangerously, maliciously INSANE.

@DMRDynamics @luckytran The rules at Our House are:
1.) It's #COVID until you test 🤧negative. You will stay home. You must mask 😷up in public where more than 2 people are present
2.) It's STILL #COVID until you test negative 5 days later n you have 🤧symptoms. You will stay home.
3.) It's not #COVID after 12 days n you test negative without 😀symptoms. You will continue to mask up everywhere in public.😷
4.) It can still be #COVID so you will update your vaccine after 3 months n mask up 😷
