Why? If you have symptoms you should be isolating regardless.

If you're a key worker then obviously knowing whether or not you can continue doing your essential job is important and that's why they had priority testing if they showed symptoms.

Everyone else can chill the fuck out and take the antibody test in 21 days which will give them a more accurate result than the covid test.

My brother just wasted a test because he was offered one and took it because he felt a bit dehydrated. It came back negative.

We need to save them so we have as many as possible available for track n trace.

And if the symptoms are bad enough that you're in hospital, don't you think it's better for the doctor's to know what they're dealing with?

Besides, for me at least, if I had a temperature above 37.5 for a day then I'd need to get a negative test before I could go back to work. Wanting to continue to get paid is a pretty good reason to get a test.

Hospital patients have always been the number one priority and they all got tested if they showed symptoms.

Tests are/were scarce. We've been able to buy a test privately for weeks now. If you're not ill in hospital or a key worker, buy your own.
