Hi Steve,
It would appear that the hive mind of social media is focusing on questions of sampling and testing today!
I have asked a question on Twitter to see if people understand how to go about estimating sample sizes. I appreciate your question is slightly different but I thought you might be interested.

Subject: The Power of Early Testing
The U.K. Govt position on testing is that there is a trade-off between the cost entailed in maximising early testing and the cost of treating the illness.
This seems like a false trade-off for various reasons - not the least of which being that if you are able to isolate immediately the onward infection rate is minimised or eliminated.
Question - what would be the ‘definitive academic paper’ which would support the case for seeking 100% self-testing? And does such a paper exist?
As usual, please only reply to my email address (not seeking a group discussion!)
Many thanks
Steve Messenger
