You can apologise all you like but even if there are vectors into the community every couple of months it is a given that people who will suffer financial hardship or inconvenience during the wait for a test result will not as willingly subject themselves to a test. We all know how this virus can present anywhere on the spectrum from nothing to hacking coughs and worse. Those who are asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic are the most dangerous and should have no disincentive to test.
