So many people I know who are fully vaccinated have colds at the moment and insist they don't have covid, based on negative LFT. Yet whenever I come to this board, it seems that everyone follows the official advice and gets a PCR when they have colds and coughs.
Even at nursery, the kids can go in, if they have just coughs and colds and only need a PCR if they have a temperature too.
Is this anyone else's experience too in real life ?
Surely the LFT detects most cases if you actually test while you're symptomatic ?
I saw an article yesterday saying that they're better than first thought.
While writing I just received a text from my mum saying she doesn't have covid, even though she has a bad cough and cold, because she's just had a negative LFT..
