Lateral Flow Tests

[canasta]

We have been testing with LFT ‘s before attending gatherings with vulnerable people ( we are both in our 70’s and I am vulnerable myself).

We both caught Covid and have to test in the last few days of our isolation. Cannot get any tests delivered.

What’s the betting that loads become available after 1st April when they are chargeable?

It doesn’t seem right to discontinue giving them out as it’s good to know that you’re not infectious when mixing with people.

What other infectious diseases do you test yourself for before venturing out?

I'll address the point you raised canasta without pouring the scorn on you taht the usual suspect do to anyone who is cautious about covid and wants to avoid putting themself or others who may be vulnerable at risk .
I think its partly that people have been stockpiling them so stock has ran low, and also because they dont want to give away all stock now when some may just get wasted, gather dust or thrown away.... better that people only take them as there needed

Nailit... thats your experience, your lucky, but have you ever noticed that no dead people ever come on to tell us there experience of covid?

Could be that the scientists have told the government it's time to go for herd immunity and we have not been told .

I got tested last week canasta- rang for a PCR and got a booking for in less than an hour at a drive through/walk through only 15mins away. The PCR was free, There was an option to have a LTF sent to me but PCR were quicker

Have you ever noticed that dead people dont communicate?
Because they are dead?

[bednobs]

you dont have to test in the last days. i think the current guidance is to isolate for 10 days. if you had tests, and you wanted to follow guidelines you could test on day 6and7 and finish isolation early if they were neg

You got it. Think it through

Fear is now so deeply entrenched regarding Covid that logic and reason take a back seat. Government’s intention realised.

[nailit]

Bob,
you ever wondered about the hundreds of thousands
that have lived through Covid???

[nailit]

Think it through!!!
