The flip side to that accusation is that this is exactly what the NHS have been advising parents to do.

In my case, my daughter had a the sniffles and a new cough one morning. To me it was clearly a cold but I checked the best course of action on the 111 site.

I was called by a doctor and told them I thought my daughter had a cold. We were all sent to get tests.

Yareet - all negative?

What are the thoughts on player testing for Covid, I believe it is a twice weekly test for all players and close contact staff across all premiership clubs.

I know these are done privately but surely the resources could and should be used for testing the NHS workers, care home staff ect ect

Is rugby really more important than the average citizen?

I'm sorry but it's a joke, covid19 is only dangerous to those over 70 or with underlying medical conditions, why are we as a nation penalising the 99% because the 1% are at risk.
The media are having a field day with scare mongering and people are getting whipped up into he's hestiria for little reason.

With Stephan Lewies hitting the inhaler hard after his try the other day, I did find myself wondering if he's technically in the clinically vulnerable category (flu jab for asthma sufferers).

I think that's very unfair of you to quote SwindonQuin like that. He later in the same thread posted this:

My wife is a nurse, she has been tested a total of...........0 times.  She has no issue with it.  The gear she has to wear for work, she would probably be safe in Chernobyl!!

Has she at anytime shown symptoms ? No , then she doesn’t need test , simples
