Annoymouse Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Swab testing at the grandstand has always raised some comments, quite a few people over the last year have said some don’t go that far up the nose whatsoever, but the human DNA test that Dr Glover set up covers that possible error so who knows what is going on.

It will be fine, family yesterday came from a France and went through no problems, as long as you have QR code & have PCR booked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I contacted the lab they wondered if it was an issue in FlowFlex vs Hughes, so have been doing them side by side on some of the recent tests. Even the lab thought it was a 'cross-reaction' and were surprised to find out she was actually positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly appears something is going astray. But what? That is the question. Be really intrigued to know @rachomicstake... They spend their days looking for shit like this. Now they're wetting themselves over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're issuing a medically certified certificate of positive result and I've got to send that to 111 by email along with what's happened for them to look at if they get time tomorrow 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Anyway out on town tonight & it was very quiet, the restaurant was about 80% full , lots of cancellations. The railway, bridge & seven kingdoms were very quiet around 9.30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Just now, offshoremanxman said: Expecting any form of test to be 100% infallible is simply unrealistic. All ‘gold standard’ really means is more reliable than other types of test for the same disease. It doesn’t mean ‘100% accurate in all cases’ I get that. It does seem there's quite a few incidents recently of people having positive LFD, symptoms, yet negative PCR, however. Maybe the LFDs are better than the PCR.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not what "the BMJ states" it's the opinion in one reader's letter which seems to have based the 70% on absolutely no evidence at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The Alan Carr shows will probably give us a spike in a few days time a nice present for fans for Xmas. Packed in the Villa with little ventilation sounds a recipe for disaster to me. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being stuck listening to 'chatty man' for an hour? I'd rather gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
