Just out of sheer curiosity and boredom what LFT did you use?

I tested positive on the old style throat swab, work provide us with Orient Gene tests and was negative on that. I was feeling so rough I thought I'd try a different one and wasn't surprised to see it positive.

I used the old NHS ones (throat and nose). Still tested positive with them, and that was with barely a sample as I really struggled with it.

Yeah I've used the orient gene ones regularly but I don't trust them now. I had to re test again today and used the NHS one again and the line was darker than it was when I tested positive the other day. Wonder if an orient gene one would have picked it up still?

For me flowflex was more accurate than old nhs one. Positive on flowflex 24hours before showing on nhs one. Negative on nhs ones after 10 days & day 14 for flowflex. This was in March when the restrictions were still in force.
