Do I lie to get lateral flow tests...?

Just that really - DD(14) and I currently have covid, PCR results came yesterday. We will need a box next weekend in order to do the 2 days in a row tests to (hopefully!) come out of isolation. Website says you can't have any if you have symptoms or have been told to isolate 🙄... which we have of course!

I did order a box to collect from my local pharmacy when they open tomorrow, but obviously can't collect it now as I'm isolating! 🤨

Just stop testing. Take precautions and hope those vulnerable aren't relying on across the board testing, it would be naive of anyone to.

My neighbour - faint line on lft last week leading into strong line, v minor cold like symptoms, PCR positive but now has an email to say inconclusive.

His partner, faint line on lft 2 days ago, heavy cold/flu, neg pcr and neg lft today but feels unwell.

I've had a cough and cold symptoms since October, constantly tested neg.

There is no solution to suit everyone but we have to crack on accepting collateral damage. And I say that with a parent with stage 4 lung cancer.

They are available now. I have just ordered some through the post.
