It's a negative lateral flow test, not pcr. I saw somebody run off to get a test kit and do it in the queue when they heard you needed it. It's not a big deal and it won't really make any difference when double vaccinated people can still spread it and are less likely to know they have it

Yep - especially now LFTs are just the nose swab, they are so quick and easy to do.

Not pointless, but their accuracy isn't great so it's not a good way to prove you don't have it.

Figures range from 50% to 99% accuracy depending on the study and how the participants were chosen. The high number was on hospitalised patients who have a large amount of covid in them.

Yep, and their flaws in accuracy relate to false negatives: false positives are extremely rare.

They are not perfect by a long shot, but considering they should be used when someone doesn't have symptoms (so just as a matter of course or to attend an event), even at the lower end of the accuracy scale, that 50% testing positive is at least identifying a fair few cases and helping sloe the spread.

If I show you my Covid pass can I come inside you?

Happy to enter via the vomitory. But only if there’s grass on the pitch.

To be fair. Although I don't like getting into these kind of conversations. It is very easy to fake or lie about the LFD tests. I get given a pack at school and register when I take them but how do they really know I have taken it?

That’s Germany, the motherland of efficiency.

In England, where we perform cavity searches just in case someone’s jammed a smoke bomb into their orifice, you may not get quite the same experience.

If it’s actually enforced of course. Which it won’t be, beyond the first week at least.


Funny, but that’s a myth.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
