I read today that the protocol for identifying the covid virus is suspect. That the test cannot differentiate between live virus that will be able the create illness and "dead" virus that cannot make you ill because your body has killed it. I don't know if this is a valid opinion but there are scientists who are willing to question the test.

It seems to me that having spent billions on a Trace and Test system the goal posts are being changed. Test and Trace may doing far more harm to our economy by making people isolate for 10 days regardless whether they have the virus or not. Boris was double jabbed has recovered from the virus and took a PCR test which showed he did not have the virus. This must be happening thousands of times throughout the country. By taking a daily lateral flow test his assumption was that he could carry on working. The same process is being tested by crucial workers in atomic power station and in electricity generation plants. It seems a good idea to me. Perhaps someone could explain why it isn't?
It is Test and Protect in Scotland and over two weeks ago NHS Scotland admitted that in some parts of country they could not keep up with demand resulting in them prioritising who they were contacting.
How you can prioritise who you contact when everyone is running the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus through a lack of communication by the Test and Protect staff.
