I’ve had 3 Lateral Flow Tests in 2 days. Only another 2 school visits to go this week; no doubt that’ll be 2 more tests too.
I’m not enjoying this brave new world. And nor are my tonsils.

It was suggested in my latest sector meeting that we should try and get onto this testing malarkey for all staff.
I’m not bothered as the cadets are now being tested, they weren’t last time.
I’m not convinced who those tests actually benefit with the false positive rate.

Radio 4 yesterday reporting false NEGATIVE rate as 1:1000, they didnt say what the false positive was.
How would that even work?
I doubt we’d be provided with tests like the schools and spamming the testing system with CFAV hardly seems sensible.

Any business can order tests for free from the gov website

The schools are doing lateral flow tests on site using mostly school staff to administer them.
We can simply order them and do them ourselves.
A local school did all the tests yesterday and not 1 single positive test. Thats over 1000 people tested and not 1 had covid…

We’ve got to do 2 a week for my workplace.
If I had to do it for cadets too, I would. I’d just alternate nostrils to give them a break.

No. All it showed that if administered correctly, nobody was carrying sufficient viral load to trigger a result.
Now students (and parents) are reliant on home test kits, the validity of the test will be reduced through not doing them correctly and introduced errors. It’s a worry that so much reliance is being placed on this system.
LFTs arent all that and a bag of chips (but they are cheap).
This.
That would be expected, statistically. The UK currently has ~ 62 cases per 100,000 [Source].
Worth noting that that number is not low, it’s just not as high as it has been.

Pointless scaffolding that’s been set up since December and no work completed on the roof (we think) - or if it has they’ve just left the scaffolding up for fun
Despite knowing about the strong winds forecast - the boards weren’t secured - now this is the second time they’ve blown off! And suprise surprise they’ve damaged the van

I had one twice that size. I just bought a few packs of windscreen repair kit and pumped it full. Got it through the MOT without an advisory.
To be fair mate, from the first picture you showed, I’m dead impressed the screen held its integrity!
Drive slow and safe if you take your vehicle to be fixed as i would hasten a guess that will blow if you go over a big bump.
