Lateral Flow Tests to be carried out in January, 2021.

 

If you have the chance to initiate Later Flow Testing now, now is the opportunity to get it under sway before January 2021. Sure, from what I understand from an objective standpoint- is that The Government wants to start at the beginning (anew)- a fresh start is you will. 

Personally, I would start when time allowed me to conduct this procedure once Oxford University, in collaboration with Public Health England, back in November 2020- which did happen here and globally; yet, for reasons, The Government has decided that those at the secondary level and Colleges in Britain (and Wales) should happen from January of next year. 

I don't agree. I think if we have the opportunity to do it now, do it now. otherwise, this could prove to be disruptive from an educational perspective and from a mental health perspective. 

As the spread is ongoing and rising- I find myself asking, perhaps even debating in my mind, about those tiers in question. I think and feel that information out there is useful and fair but can be manipulated, distorted, and heavy (too much info out there). This is why I only follow the GOV, WHO, EU, US (mildly), and any other mental health and health organizations- such as NHS, who provide what I'm searching for. Looking for relevant information is straight forward on the GOV website- but elsewhere can be tricky. Nonetheless, all is good and useful advice. 

The only issue with the Tier system is the Medium, High, and Very High- which I don't think helps a great deal when hysteria, panic, anxiety is the norm and going around like a pack of bees, or is it flies now? How soon is now? When we talk about the decline of bees? anyway, I digress. 

Singapore did a great job with that, and the tokens. The tokens didn't go to plan and now they use an app, which I believe is perhaps the best approach and seems to be working to great effect. Nevertheless, I don't think we should, or they should rule out the former completely. it could be useful for the future. I think we should do the same for the future- perhaps now as well. Have an oyster type card that holds your health data- but with a tight-knit security system provided in the database. You know, good, wise, reliable, authentic, and trustworthy support to prevent anyone else stealing what health conditions or health symptoms you have- pre-existing health concerns on a certain unique number of patients anywhere in Britain and Wales- for the sake of using precautionary tactics for the benefit of those who are at most risk because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This epidemic is going o have far-reaching concerns over mental health and health in general- the consideration of upgrading the NHS that is accessible to all and I mean ALL. So far, it may seem the case, but it's not. I just know this. What happens behind the scenes are but a smokescreen, distorted mirrors, and hidden fallacies that only come out when The Government deems it safe to do so. 

The people deserve to know the truth outright, more so now than ever and in the future- completely. The Government doesn't have to be wholly transparent, but transparent enough (like the US, though they aren't as transparent as the American people would want them to be, need to be); and the same applies here, but need to show a better example. 

It's funny- not that type of funny, ha, ha- but ironic- that The Government is at its best per se when the people are under attack. After this, it'll be the same old battle between citizen and the higher power- but upgraded. We, as a species live in upgrades all the time. The '90s, an upgraded '80s, 2010s were an upgrade of the 2000s and the same applies currently in 2020- an upgrade of the 2010s. we improve when we allow ourselves to-and that is your and our evolution. 

Anywho, I support my idea of allowing the tests to continue well into January, and that teachers, and heads of schools and colleges, etc., need to find a reliable solution to accommodate this sudden news by the HoP and adhere to any rules that apply. I rarely ever support the government on many things, if not at all- since 2003- nevertheless, this is the very first time, I think and feel and see myself supporting them in relation to how things need to be, given the situation we're in. It takes time to recover- and this will take all the initiative and collective(ist) endeavor that we have as a species to work together and tackle this new threat.
