I've talked openly and posted information for years about Tory privatisation and cuts. It gets zero interaction and people only give two 5h1t5 when it hits them directly!!

Sunday Mrs Noah's son & his girl friend went to a wedding in Sutton Coldfield. Monday they both felt awful, tested and got a positive Covid result, quick check & they found that quite a few of the other people at the wedding noe had the dreaded lurgi. Problem is that feeling fine of Saturday he went to Costa & Asda Living at Queens and then B&Q. I think they also went to a Tescos, B&M and Aldi somewhere over the weekend. Could be spreading nicely by now.

Yes, probably best to avoid shops.

Well I can't prove that but I've never come to any harm using them.
Maybe best ask GG !
I rarely use pubs these days and certainly won't be avoiding going out, due to what a test kit, that's been proven as inaccurate tells you. For God's sake don't let it start again and let people fall for it. I can't remember the last time I heard somebody say "I've got a bit of a virus but it will pass!" without repeat testing and panic!
"But the test says it's convid!" My :bum:. Just stop it!

Proven inaccurate if used properly?

You never mention that the proven inaccuracy is with false *negatives*, though, do you? It's a matter of them missing large numbers of positive results, not giving false ones.

If you're genuinely concerned about the tests being inaccurate then you should be telling people who test negative that they probably have Covid and to avoid people, not telling people who test positive that they probably don't and should ignore it.

Another example of how little you understand anything you're raving about.

The fact that they can't give straight answers and leave the fact finding up to perception rather than clarity, tells you nothing? The constant manipulation continues and the BBC news report I saw yesterday sums it up. The constant mentioning of the very word "covid" rather than emphasis on a number of people having a virus that they had all bar one recovered from. Also all pensioners in a closed home so any illness would spread. Strange how they scheduled a roll out but there's sudden news on people being ill so they rush it out?

Was the virus covid?

Its strange that they expedite a rollout when something is spreading?

What does that have to do with you misrepresenting the flaws of the home tests to bolster your own bogus agenda?

Had a text from GP today informing me that as well as my flu jab on 7th Oct , they will be whacking a covid one in as well.

It’s competition time in GP practices since Government doubled back on their jab payment cuts

All going flat out for jab cash

Your ‘ doctors’ is not part of the NHS
