Re: Coronavirus

Pointless money down the drain on something that's regarded by some 'experts' as around 50% accurate . . .

quote from the above linked article:

Quote:
Stephen Reicher, professor of psychology at the University of St Andrews and a member of the Spi-B subcommittee of Sage that advises on behavioural science, said testing by itself was “no solution”, noting a rate of false negatives for self-administered lateral flow tests of up to 50%
Anecdotal I know, but I hear reports of school kids testing positive with these tests, and then being confirmed negative on a hospital test
