If any pubs were open that might be a good idea.Maybe they should put posters up in pubs. They might reach more people that way.
Indeed there was and, yes the reliability is very variable from self administered, through trained volunteers, to professional medical staff.There was an interesting aspect to the research I read that talked about the reliability of the test and who administered it, against self administered tests.
So trained professional is preferable to self administered.
That’s why it’s recommended to have regular tests. It’s more for the benefit of the whole community.The bottom line though is that no one should rely on a single individual lateral flow test, even when administered professionally.
That's why I let them do it when offered the choice.There was an interesting aspect to the research I read that talked about the reliability of the test and who administered it, against self administered tests.

I'm the same, I was so worried about throwing up, but I did my own & although I had to ask to pause between doing my throat & nose I got through it fine. I think you are much better doing it yourself, they do watch to make sure you have the swab in the right place, but that's it... Poor girl had to tell me to stop pushing the swab up my nose, as I couldn't feel it & thought I should have to! Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think.I was intending to let them do it for that precise reason but, honestly, I gag so easily (just a physiological fact, not TMI about my personal life XD) I'm nervous about chucking up on the desk so I think I'm going to administer my own.
I had a text from the NHS saying that I was eiligible and to call my GP, so I did, and low and behold....it was real!
County Show Ground this Sunday
They are currently doing Group 6 at the moment, my husband is younger than me but he had his this week.
Also I know someone who is 30 and having his today, but he’s got asthma so he’s included in that group.
So if you’re included in the list below that will explain it. If not, then you’re just lucky!

Maybe your medical records have your height listed incorrectly.I must be very lucky as I have non of the under lying conditions set out there?
Not complaining though
I remember a case a few years ago of a chap getting a letter about a dental appointment, which contained the requirement that he bring a parent with him.Maybe your medical records have your height listed incorrectly.

There was also a case a few years ago of a twelve inch pianist but I can't remember the details.I remember a case a few years ago of a chap getting a letter about a dental appointment, which contained the requirement that he bring a parent with him.
The fact that the system only used to last two digits for the year made it 'think' he was rather younger than his actual age - which was 108.
I believe that it didn't stand up to scrutiny.There was also a case a few years ago of a twelve inch pianist but I can't remember the details.
Son knows of several younger people in his work (not around here) who have already had theirs. He doesn't know why though.I've heard of quite a few younger people getting theirs, although not round here.
