I wonder?

How do Brits pronounce lft?
Is it said as L F T or like lift?

I’m in Australia and we call them Rapid antigen tests or rats.
Our conversation would sound like
“Didja see the price of rats?!”

😁

We pronounce it Ellefftees
Good question!

And they’re free at the point of use! For the first time since they were readily available feb this year there’s a shortage because we’re being encouraged to test daily. But most households will have a pack or 2 around.

Said as the letters. L F T's aren't great do a P C R instead.

Haha I’ve been reading it as lift this whole time. Thank you 😊

I must order some, thanks for the reminder.

Ha we just say “lateral flow”. I’ve written LFT but never said it out loud.

L.F.T.

And we don’t pay for our tests unless we're off on a flight somewhere

Ive seen people write LFD, what does thay mean?

LFD = lateral flow device

How much do they cost We can get them on the NHS ,although there is a shortage apparently .

Everyone I know says lateral flow only see it written LFT.

@x2boys they are $50 for a pack of 5 or $15 each.
They are not really used here because for any kind of official testing we need a PCR and the price is a bit much just for piece of mind.
