Nice article, but it's flawed because it doesn't mention the cause of the spike is partly the backlog in testing over Christmas. Ireland have recently cleared that backlog, which contributed to the spike.
- stefan_ 6y agoA backlog in testing? If you are gonna take more than like two days to process a test, why are you even testing?
- azundo 6y agoMight also be people with mild symptoms delaying to go get a test because they're on break, not necessarily the labs being backed up.
- DanBC 6y agoYou test a population to see how prevalent covid-19 is, how it's spreading, whether your containment efforts are working, what variants are spreading. You test an individual to help you decide on appropriate healthcare. It's really important that people who test negative still behave as if they might have covid and might spread covid.
