So what are your thoughts on the proposed twice weekly Covid tests? These would be the Lateral Flow tests, and if you test positive it is double checked with a PCR test.

My son does them for school twice a week, at home. The amount of plastic waste being generated in the UK alone with all these tests must be more than enough to make up for any attempts at plastic use reduction in the last decade.

yep all the schools and teachers are currently dojng them. so much packaging and DNA to be harvested. Clearly a better solution than the waste of money gold standard world beating Dido Harding app.

Firstly, i don't see the point in it. What is it going to change or stop?
Secondly. The huge cost, for what return? Keep the local test centres open for those who need to go to work/be out in public/use public transport.
Thirdly, it's not going to make people stay home if they're positive. We've seen that throughout the last 12 months.

If it helps to test the lateral flow and PCR it must be a good idea.

I have read that the lateral flow tests aren't always accurate. Someone I know tested positive twice with LFT but negative with a PCR.

And I know someone who tested negative with PCR, but tested positive (twice) with LFT. A second PCR test confirmed he had the virus.

We have to accept that the tests are fallible currently.

Not much difference in occurrence of blood clots between AZ and Pfizer, so why all the fuss in Europe about AZ - truth is that 30% of covid deaths are due to blood clots.
