Good, but that only means you hadn’t had it then.............
I’m having a minor surgical procedure done in two weeks and have to be tested on the 10th before I have it. So I’ll find out then!

Doesn’t matter. If you have had only 2 tests, since March, you could have still have had Covid-19, and not have known about it. Majority of individuals who have got infected, have been asymptomatic, such individuals can carry the virus and show on repeated tests that they are infected for up to six weeks. In my case. I’ve now been tested over 20 times. One result came back positive. I had zero symptoms. I had a follow up test about 4 weeks later, the result came back negative.

Correct. The tests are a snapshot of a person’s biological infectious state at the time of the test only. A person could have had the test, comes back negative but they were infected on the way home from the test.

Which is slightly alarming considering people who test positive self isolate for a week before returning to work . . . or can't you 'transmit' it after a week?

Re: Coronavirus
What has happened to the antibody tests. We don't seem to hear anything about them anymore.

Wonder if that's anything to do with this

The UK government delayed the findings of a Public Health England (PHE) study that question the accuracy of a leading covid antibody test just as it was about to announce that it had spent £75m (€84.3m; $99.4m) on buying one million of the tests.

There is a 10 day window in which after incubation occurs, a person is most infectious. After which Covid can remain in the body for several more weeks.

Re: Coronavirus
More mixed messaging from the government it seems on what counts as a substantial meal in tier 2 pubs.
Quote:
Robert Jenrick(13/10) - A Cornish Pasty with chips & side salad is a substantial meal.
George Eustice(30/11) - A Scotch Egg would probably count as a substantial meal as it can be served as a starter.

Emphasis added by me for the benefit of the hard of thinking. It’s also worth stressing that the restaurant trade understands exactly what the phrase “substantial meal” means because it is integral to certain types of alcohol licence. El Gov is appealing to well-understood concepts in the trade. It’s up to the restaurant owners to follow the rules and to answer to a judge if they don’t. Given the full context of Eustace’s quote it seems unlikely a judge would accept a defence that the restaurant didn’t know what was meant by “substantial meal”.
I think unless you’re a Labour party hack or a second rate political journalist still desperate for new COVID story angles, there really isn’t anything difficult to understand about these rules.

... and how stupid the application of devolution to Covid has been. What's more, it's being put to cynical political use by that Sturgeon woman.
