Used to justify more testing by the UKHSA

Finding more and more dubious justifications thee more I dig

Here's a link supplied by the UKHSA in their document dump:

Test sensitivity is secondary to frequency and turnaround time for COVID-19 screening

and

We therefore conclude that screening should prioritize accessibility, frequency, and sample-to-answer time; analytical limits of detection should be secondary.

So the claim is that do enough tests often enough to get the result you want, it doesn't matter then if their accuracy is a bit hit or miss.
