I've never had one.
Husband has done one as part of a random sample, not due to symptoms.
DD4 had one due to a high temp which was negative

WeAllHaveWings · 22/03/2021 23:02

Dh and myself haven't had any.

Ds has had home LFT twice a week since returning to school.

I had two for hospital visits, DD had one because she was ill with a fever and sore throat. DH hasn't had one.

Neither my son nor I have had to have one. My husband had to have one for work, thankfully it was negative

Devlesko · 23/03/2021 01:22

Me, no.
Dh about 8 during a 36 hour hospital stay. - neg
Dd many, due to school attendance regs - neg

SakuraEdenSwan1 · 23/03/2021 01:49

I have not had one and none of my kids have, not intending to get one either.

notangelinajolie · 23/03/2021 02:15

Me and DH have never had a Covid test.
We don't know anyone who has had Covid.

Treeway · 23/03/2021 03:05

I haven't had one and neither has dh.

Not have I used/downloaded track and trace app. Just haven’t gone into places using it. Basically I’ve been on a pretty hard personal lockdown but been lucky that that’s been largely possible work wise and socialising wise. Have used sign in sheets etc but not the q reader/app.

3 x no tests.
Tests = lockdown = removal of rights long term.

vodkaredbullgirl · 23/03/2021 08:42

Lost count of how many tests I've done for work, all been negative.
DD 1 had 1 lft test for work, as someone tested +
DD 2 not had any, as she doesn't work.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Lexilooo · 23/03/2021 08:57

Nope, neither dh or I have. We haven't tried to avoid having a test just haven't needed one. Our parents haven't either. My sister is the only one in the family who has had a test and she gets tested 3 times a week for work.

emmathedilemma · 23/03/2021 09:00

I had my first a couple of weeks ago as a result of logging "non typical but we're doing a study into this" symptoms on the zoe tracker app. It was fine, i went to the walk in centre about a mile away on my lunch break, someone talked me through what to do (from a distance!), results came back in 24hrs and as I expected, negative :)

MargaretThursday · 23/03/2021 09:02

I've had 2, dd2 has had 5, ds has had 5, dh and dd1 have had any.

For me it's been zoe app, ds and dd2 4 have been school lateral flow.
Dh and dd1 haven't been out of the house much.

AudTheDeepMinded · 23/03/2021 09:06

Spoke to soon. Have woken up with a rotten cold so took a school test, negative though, hurrah. Off to find Lemsip.

PattyPan · 23/03/2021 09:16

I’ve not had one, DP has had several at work

HeronLanyon · 23/03/2021 12:16

I am also unaware how to get one should I ever need one (will look now just in case). It’s obviously easy and straightforward.

RumHoney · 23/03/2021 12:20

Neither of us have. Work from home, no kids, supermarket deliveries.

We did get out and about last summer and took a couple of flights to visit family abroad in autumn so we haven't been completely hidden away, but we've been pretty locked down when rates have been higher and haven't had so much as a cold between us in the last year.
