Are supermarket workers getting tested?
« on: 23/04/2020 10:06:40 »
Alan asks:

Given how many people supermarket workers interact with, do you think testing them or using a questionnaire would help us understand how the virus is affecting them and thus the rest of us?

What do you think?

I think they woud make be an interesting case study. But it should be born in mind that they are regularly bombarded with viruses and bacteria, so their immune system may be atypical. I thank them all and apologise to them for the bad behavior they hace had to endure.

They’re ‘essential workers’ so they and their housemates are eligible for testing.
