I'm surprised and disappointed by how many intelligent and educated people are blindly accepting "the science" and "the scientists" without looking into this for themselves. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but an independent thinker. Instead of accepting all the scaremongering, please read this article and decide for yourselves:https://lockdownsceptics.org/what-sage-got-wrong/

The saliva test is the one they are going to pilot in Liverpool using the army starting on Friday. It apparently has a very high specificity and is much quicker to process than the current one which is why it could be such a game changer. For example, it would allow care home visits to happen

That's good.
I think the present method isn't very pleasant, particularly for young children or the elderly and a quicker processing time would be a huge step forward.

petra there’s no way I think that CH would want to be part of SAGE - he’s ploughing a particular furrow and SAGE isn’t part of it. That’s not meant in a critical way, just an observation of the politics of all this.

The one thing we know is how little we know!

But knowledge about how to treat this virus and how it spreads is increasing.
