Nurse Testing Mandatory
My wife is a senior midwife.
The total number of staff is approximately 35. Surely it is a no-brainer and a win-win if all of the staff are tested.

Why the contribution is important
Since the outbreak, I know that there has been continued change and revision of guidance (on a daily basis), with misinformation particularly for those midwifes with underlying medical conditions.
If we plan to roll out a testing App, then it would be far better to at least know the status of clusters, where workers still congregate - ie in hospitals

Should we then also test them for every other flu or virus that can currently kill the infirm and eldery as people were already dying from flu and viruses, especially seasonally. It probably made the death certificates as pneumonia before, now its covid19.

So you need a baseline, which means you do need to retest workers who congregate.. even if that is a temperature test.
Regarding your flu/virus comment, I have some sympathy but it was not me that dictated that the whole of the world stay at home. Yes more people in the world will die of starvation and malaria than Covid. The alternative is herd immunity and down to chance?
