WHY COVID TESTING NEEDS A RESET

Cases and hospitalisations are rising across the world, yet ironically, many countries are stopping free tests. Why have tests been singled out? Other pandemic strategies are arguably ineffective or at a cost that far outweighs the benefit, yet those strategies remain.

We didn’t arrive at this place of distrust and COVID fatigue suddenly, rather it was a general undercurrent fuelled by politics, media hype and human nature. The moment tests became a trade, your price of entry for freedom, the public lost trust. The moment test results became unreliable, the public health system lost control. Before we argue the benefits of testing and explain the reset the world needs, it’s worth reviewing the three core pandemic strategies: lockdowns, vaccinations and testing.
