Thanks Marv and hope all is well with you and yours.
1) He doesn’t have any of the symptoms, his ‘cough’ is just a sore throat, it is not chesty, it is not repetitive. He has not coughed once since returning home. The nurse was being overly cautious, probably because of the Covid hysteria being generated by misleading information from people like Witty and Valance who are more concerned with not being wrong than they are with providing accurate, constructive information to the general public. Mrs WES subsequently went through an NHS Q&A online check and he is considered to be ‘unlikely’ to have Covid.
2) Sorry, no idea what a QR code is but Mrs WES wanted a test as soon as possible as testing as quickly as possible is actually a really good thing for our society. The fact that she ended up at a centre with plenty of capacity but could not get one is a testimony not to her negligence but to the government’s incompetence.
3) That would explain a delay in a test being processed but should not result in a test not being conducted at all.
4) Many thanks we will keep trying
5) As above
