    6 weeks into lockdown & on the plus side: -Testing finally seen as important w/ priority given to front-line staff (this was a battle) -Lockdown has slowed spread. But... -Adequate PPE still a problem -No community testing -Still need to get 'test, trace, isolate' in place.

        Me, I will not sign up to anything that asks me for "sex assigned at birth". I am a biological female, this was established irrevocably when I was conceived, and nobody was guessing or assigning me to anything. This is no time to be forcing gender politics onto the public.

        I don't understand the foot-dragging. Surely it has been accepted that test, trace, isolate is the way to go, so the delays make no sense. It's astonishing that even large, hard-hit cities have been able to get right on top of the virus that way, but it's been done several times.

        If even New York of the bodybags can see this and commit to get started there is absolutely no excuse for Scotland the leading biotechnology nation not being right in there and getting on with it. Scotland is a pushover compared to New York.

        As we were doing inadequate testing in the (relative) early stages; it is now harder to identify a reduced spread -from what I understand anyway. This is why many experts advised mass testing, which would also help identify hotspots.

        It’s not the test, trace or isolate I’m worried about ... it’s the TREAT!! Why are we dying when Germany has so many more cases and surviving? We stopped counting recoveries ages ago... why??!!

        That is something that concerned me. I think Germany had covid doctors monitoring those at home. Think there was an article in the Guardian about 05/04/20 on these lines.

        What we'll need in May: 1. pressure on gov to reduce new cases (not just hospital admits), 2. make PPE for whole UK public (once NHS as enough), 3. fast testing + fast tracing + reliable isolate/quarantine, 4. RCT for relaxing lockdown -- small scale test in a few counties.
