My eyes aren't working

I see lines but my partner doesn't.

They don't look straight and I'm not convinced they are definitely positive.

Would you say these are positive covid tests?

(I am obviously booking a PCR test, just interested to see what other people see)

Yes very faint but I can see them. If you test again this eve they'll probably be darker.

georgarina · 01/01/2022 16:19

Yep I see lines sorry

DysmalRadius · 01/01/2022 16:20

Have you tried driving them to Barnard Castle to see if you can see better there?

riiichteeabiiscuit · 01/01/2022 16:22

@ShirleyPhallus

Lines on both

What a bizarre accusation from PP on you wanting to see things to get out of stuff??

I know, I can really do without it as an unpaid carer of someone vulnerable. Which is why I am being cautious. But no, I'm really not seeing lines to get out of doing anything Confused

@SoniaFouler

Your partner is right, there aren’t any lines, and they aren’t positive covid tests, you’re just seeing things that you want to see (possibly as an excuse to get out of something you don’t want to go to?)
There are 2 clear lines there...
Livefortherain · 01/01/2022 16:24

Both look positive to me. My son's started like that when he had covid!

SparkleWhale · 01/01/2022 16:27

I see lines on both. Your eyes are working.

You might want to book an eye test because there are absolutely lines (albeit faint ones) on both.

I can see lines on both. Kind of shocked some people can't see them!

Imworkingonit · 01/01/2022 17:02

I see obvious lines on both. DS had one that looked exactly like that this morning but it only showed after the time frame. Just tested again to check before going out and very obviously positive now.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 01/01/2022 17:05

@RandomMess

I see lines, did they come up within the 30 minutes though?
I thought it was 15 minutes or do they vary?
BeLessMe · 01/01/2022 17:08

@PinkSparklyPussyCat it depends on the type of test you have.
Mine are all 30 min ones.

toastfiend · 01/01/2022 17:10

They're faint but pretty obviously lines to me without even opening the thumbnails up. Sorry, OP, but I'd definitely be taking those as positives.

sqirrelfriends · 01/01/2022 17:13

I can see them too. Recently a friend of mine had a really faint line and later tested positive on a PCR.

RememberThePenguins · 01/01/2022 17:14

Apparently, because of the way Omicron infects, there is a tendancy for more virus to be lurking in the throat and if you do a throat swab you might find a stronger positive.

Flowersandhearts · 01/01/2022 17:14

I can see extremely faint lines.

slashlover · 01/01/2022 17:15

Your eyes aren't working as you've posted this in AIBU instead of the covid topic.

I can see very, very faint lines.

Puffalicious · 01/01/2022 17:16

Sorry OP mine looked like this Xmas Eve and then 2, bright lines by Xmas morning, confirmed later that day by PCR. I'm so sorry. I hope you're not too ill as I'm just out of the woods now- it was awful,far, far worse than my first time 18 months ago.

caringcarer · 01/01/2022 17:34

Both look negative to me. I have seen a positive test and the second line is bright and obvious.

Nogoodusername · 01/01/2022 17:46

I can see lines on both

QuornSausagesAreTheDevilsPenis · 01/01/2022 17:46

I had similar. PCR same day was negative as were subsequent LFD tests.

Longdistance · 01/01/2022 17:48

I see two front lines. Just book for a PCR to confirm.

MissingSilence · 01/01/2022 18:13

They look positive to me
