COVID-19 Instant Screening test, page-470

This is the way forward for RAP to figure out...latest from NSW Health genius.

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said many of the people dying and in ICU in the current wave were suffering from underlying health conditions.“I’m very loath to compare flu with COVID because we’ve spent two years telling people it’s not just a flu, but just as an example during a bad flu season, we would see many of the same age groups impacted significantly by a bad flu season,” Dr Chant said.

So results and deaths are the same as a bad flu season according to Chant.
My concern is (like may others here) that RAP are too late to the party. By the time they get approvals after extensive trials they need for evidence the schebang re Covid (Omicron) will be an endemic and hopefully fading issue. So I reckn that RAP get ready to integrate it into their Dx diagnosis range of diseases and continue on regardless...they may well be aiming for this anyway. It is good to hear fro NSW Health that they are sort of coming clean re comparing Covid to Flu. After all theyare both a SARS virus are they not. I wish RAP would get us some news...and some revenue FFS!
