We’re seeing a higher burden of non-communicable disease - this is what the other side of the pandemic looks like. Plus staffing shortages and stretched teams. Good to be recruiting again though.

Unexpected outcome. But highlights unintended consequences that are only revealed with objective evidence.

Can we improve upon current practice?

COVID PCR testing in 2021 cost over $5 billion AUD. This is 6x the annual NHMRC budget!
How has this been funded, apparently unbudgeted, yet funding for health and medical research has stagnated for years despite widespread calls and desperate need??

A thread on the (topical) high rate of COVID identified or acquired in hospital

The fact that this is up to 30% is being highlighted by some as indicating that hospitalisation numbers are inaccurate

Finally, some firmer evidence. Not a large study but it shows no real difference. Leave to clinician familiarity, ease of use and institutional experience.
