I understand approach of gvmt - CMO and GVSA have been impressive. But I still don’t understand lack of testing. If you’ve had mild virus, you need to know you’ve had it. Then you can look after / visit relatives, get back to work etc. Usual caveat - I’m not an expert. Thoughts?

The only way of resolving Brexit is through honesty, and the courage to compromise. No number of elections or referendums can resolve this issue without leadership and in particular a commitment to deliver and move past Brexit and bring the country together again.
