NSW has deflected responsibility for the massive pressures on the pathology system by focusing public attention on QLD's tourism testing
But in fact sheer case load is also a major factor affecting the testing system's capacity

Prof Dwyer has confirmed NSW pathology labs use the 'pooling' process outlined by the Reddit thread
Pooling is supposed to help the system process large numbers of samples
Eg. Test 4 samples as a group
Negative? Move on
Positive? Go back and test each sample individually

Prof Dwyer said today:
'The process of having to go back and retest positive pools takes a lot of time'
and
'The ability to pool is limited by how common the disease is in the community'
So the pooling process is directly affected by more cases / higher positivity rate

The line up for COVID-19 travel express testing at 630am. Left line for people flying today, right for those not flying today. This isn’t the regular test clinic, this is the paid travel test. #CovidTesting #PCR #Sydney
Behind me. I had only been here 10 minutes at this stage.
Actually a really smooth experience. They will check youve paid and that you have a flight ticket. Bring your passport and they'll scan it to make sure your travel document is accurate.
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a human gamma herpesvirus. It is known to have infected and generally become latent in more than 90% of the global population [7], including more than 95% of healthy adults [8]. #EBV
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
"A variety of clinical manifestations have been associated with EBV reactivation. These include fatigue, psychoneurosis/brain fog, sleep disturbance, arthralgia, pharyngitis, myalgia, headaches, fever, gastrointestinal complaints, and various skin rashes." #EBV
"We found that 66.7% (20/30) of long-term long COVID subjects versus 10% (2/20) of long-term control subjects were positive for EBV reactivation based on positive titers for EBV EA-D IgG or EBV VCA IgM." #EBV / #LongCovid
We're in deep trouble. I have a peds colleague with a 2 month old and a 2 year old at home. They developed fever + runny nose last week. She looked at the #CovidTesting drive through in Saskatoon: 3h wait (no one wants to go through this with a toddler and an infant). 1/4
She called 811: she was call back number 85. 811 called back after 6h. She had to talk to 2 separate nurses. After this, she then waited 4 days for a call back with an appointment for testing. By then the kids were healthy again. 2/4
Thankfully, her kids did not need hospitalizations or critical care. But this colleague is educated, believes in covid, has a phone and a car. She knows how testing is important. Yet this was not manageable for her to go through, and we missed 2 opportunities for testing. 3/4
