UKHSA Aug 2022, when paediatric wards were full of 'winter viruses': ''Symptomatic testing will also continue for individuals who are eligible to access COVID-19 treatments'' While the rest of the patients and staff with covid symptoms are not entitled to a covid test?

While paediatric wards were getting full of 'winter viruses',last summer, UKHSA stopped access to covid tests even for patients and staff. Then NHS blamed the lockdowns! Then JCVI stopped access to covid vaccines! UKHSA stopped @ONS! @covidinquiryuk @drclairetaylor #CovidCoverUp

Aug 2022, UKHSA: ''Symptomatic testing will also continue for individuals who are eligible to access COVID-19 treatments'' So a patient with covid symptoms, in the same hospital ward as a patient eligible for covid treatment, can not be tested for covid? @AdamBienkov

Patients with covid symptoms in a hospital ward will have to be assessed by the medical staff to see if they are entitled to covid treatment and only if they are, then the NHS staff can test them for covid, otherwise they don't, they will just ignore covid symptoms? @karamballes

UKHSA 2022:''From April onwards,testing will be provided to individuals&settings at highest risk from COVID-19'' HIGHEST RISKS, NOT EVEN HIGH RISK, what means highest risk? Who is entitled to covid testing, 4 months after Urgent Medical Centres complained of covid staff shortages

patients at high risk of covid not considered worth testing anymore by UKHSA in Apr 2022,only those at highest risk-meaning what exactly?HIGHEST?UKHSA discovered CEV children are not at risk of covid,so DOES THIS MEAN THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO COVID TESTS? @karamballes @ELHopkins

This is where UKHSA kindly explains in Apr 2022 what they mean by high risk: somehow they forgot to mention what they mean by HIGHEST RISK? gov.uk/guidance/peopl…

Found HIGHER RISKS, meaning immunosuppressed: gov.uk/government/pub… SO COVID TESTS ARE ONLY FOR IMMUNOSUPPRESSED, despite these patients possibly sharing the same hospital space with non-immunosuppressed who can have covid symptoms but can't be tested? IS THIS A JOKE?

UKHSA needs to remind parents again how CEV children should be in school: gov.uk/government/pub… ''Children and young people are recommended to continue to attend education, unless they are advised otherwise by their clinician''.

'ADVISED BY A CLINICIAN'??? The same clinicians asked by Ofsted to send sick children to school?

UKHSA: ''The following advice on ‘keeping yourself safe’ is aimed at adults.'' KEEPING YOURSELF SAFE advice ONLY FOR ADULTS?Including: 'ensure you have had all of the vaccines you are eligible to receive'-advice not for CEV children?@covidinquiryuk @ELHopkins @LongCovidKids
