I do agree with this. My mate tested negative on lft at work but continued to feel unwell and tired. They had pcr test and tested positive. They caught it at work and then passed it on to the family. Lft are great at finding positive cases so more testing is great as we get on top of it. However they miss a lot of positive cases. Fast forward a couple of months to April when these tests started to get used I wonder how long until you find a study where ethe majority of attending an event end up with COVID due to the failure of lft not picking up a positive case who transmitted..... Then you’ll have a clamour to stop using them and we back to square one. This is something that can not be ruled out.
What I’m amazed at with the avacta article is why the study took place in Spain to start with and not the U.K. odd if the U.K. have fully backed it. The other odd thing in the article was the fact they got the number of pcr tests a week wrong by 50% they reported a number out by 800,000 odd thousand. Seemed slightly agenda lead but we know how it all works with journos.
