Ake: Increased testing and contact tracing for the MSM demographic is essential if we are serious about halting the epidemic....there is simply no alternative.

Some quotes from Keith, who, according to you, is the only one who has any sense: MSM do use screening more, but infection continues to rise. and PHE do the calculation and publish their conclusion, that there is a real increase in infection as well as increased testing.

So, Ake, there you have it. Screening and testing have increased, but infection is still rising. Yet you still keep saying that is the only solution. Are you saying that more screening and testing is required? How do we achieve that?

Do we educate people so that there is a higher take up? Surely not. You have already stated quite categorically that education does not work! So, how do we convince people to get tested? Go on then. Give us the benefit of your wisdom.
