Paying for LFTs

Hi all

Just wondered, will you bother paying for a LFT after they are not free anymore?

I probably won't unless I need one to visit someone vulnerable, but just if any of us get cold symptoms, just to hide away more. Seeing as I may not know if my cold is just a cold anymore...

I do worry about others who won't be able to afford to though. If there was a 'buy one, donate one' scheme, I'd do that so that someone else's relative in a care home didn't miss out on visitors

Why though?

Other visitors won’t, nor will the staff or residents, I doubt the delivery drivers or entertainment, minibus drivers, doctors, dentists won’t be testing etc, so you doing a test will be pointless really.

No.

No chance. I've taken a LFT once and that was because it was demanded for work I was doing. Nobody in my house is testing.
