How many tests have you taken?

[Fuckinellitsme]

I've yet to take one and from what I've seen I'm definitely in the minority! DH hasn't either. DD took one, last year, and it was negative (she had a bit of a sniffle/cough and the symptoms had gone by the time the test arrived in the post).

Two for symptoms..no lateral flows yet

Testing is not just for you to isolate, it is also to inform those you have already been in contact with in the preceding 2 days to isolate, as well as to genome test to track variants. So you're still helping covid to spread if you don't test when needed. HTH.

Pcr - 3. One positive, done in hospital.
Left - twice weekly since March

19y Dd
Pcr - 3, coming home/back to university
Lft - half a dozen or so, linked to university

Dh
Pcr - 0
Lft - 1, to visit client in hospice

PCR 4, one of which was positive.
Lft twice a week since Feb

Couldn’t give a shit

Hope that helps.

Couldn’t give a shit

Jeez, the stupidity and selfishness of some people is truly beyond measure, isn't it?

Family of 5, 0 tests.

...

3 PCR

First requested by zoe app when I reported a headache
Second when I was unwell - negative
Third when I had a sore throat - positive

No LFTs.

DH & my 3 kids have never had any tests

@MRex #bekind

PCR - 1, when I developed a bad cough before Christmas.

LFT - twice a week since 7th March (teacher).

2 PCR tests - one when ds2 came down with a raging temperature the day after I returned to school as a teacher, so I asked at the test centre if I could take one too, the second as a precaution before we saw dh's parents at Christmas.

LFT's - 2 a week since January.

LFTs - 2 a week since Jan.

We had weekly PCR testing at my workplace (a school) in the autumn term, arranged by the local authority, so about 14 then.

I take LFTs weekly because of my job ( I work part time) Nothing else.

Me: PCR test 0 LFT probably 20 or so (work related, work in a school)
DS: PCR 0 LFT 0
DH: PCR 2, first was his positive, 2nd was in hospital

Me - 1, about 6 months ago (negative)
DP - 3x per week - works in healthcare, never had a positive!

3, one pcr test when I had a sore throat, one for random sampling, and a lft the other week to encourage ds in secondary to do the same (the novelty has worn off for him!)

None, DH had once last year

No PCR tests
Took my first LFT today to visit my dad in his care home.

6 people in my house. zero tests.

2 per tests
one invited by Zoe study due to sore throat - negative
the other as part of the Imperial College study - negative

2 PCR and loads of LFT, I’m doing 2 or 3 a week and we’ve had access to them since September.

LF, twice a week since January

4 proper ones, countless lateral flow

We are on the ONS survey, I've lost count, 15-20? I also work in school and have been in hospital so those too..
Ironically on the two occasions we think family members had covid we couldn't get hold of a test.
