Likelihood of false positive on LFT

Had a very light line on LFT this morning, off for a PCR at 10 but what's the chances of a false positive. I had covid in February 2021 and suspected in March 2020. I'm double jabbed.

Ironically my LFT when I did have covid was negative Hmm

That's interesting, I actually feel fine, tired but I've been worrying instead of sleeping!

I had a false positive about a fortnight ago on a LFT, PCR was negative I had no symptoms. Cost me £80 as I had to miss a shift at work so I've stopped doing LFTs I'll get tested if I have symptoms but I really can't afford to take anymore time off.

Ah! Good, I am glad it was negative :)

I have a teen who went out last week because of A-level results day and a bunch of those kids were getting positive LFT Friday to Sunday. Some had positive and others had negative PCRs.
