LFT and new variant

Has anyone noticed that there seems to be a disproportionate amount of negative LFTs and then a positive PCR? I know they are not hugely accurate, but up until a few months ago they had picked up quite a few cases that I know of.

Now it seems to be really common for the LFT not to match the PCR. I wonder if the latest variant doesn't show on them?

DS has had a + PCR, he's definitely got Covid (he's ill, and half his mates have it too) but three LFTs have all said negative!

LFT’s are widely known to be crap. We’re the only country that insists on using them so much.
