Well it had to happen at some point. My other half was up at 6:30 this morning and did a flowflex LFT and as the liquid tracked up the window straight away a bright red line on the T mark appeared even before the C line appeared. She did another one with the same result.
She came upstairs and woke me up and said "merry christmas" and burst into tears. "I have just tested positive". I took a test but was negative but I am sure I will be within a couple of days. We were both looking forward to seeing our 2 grandkids this morning but sadly that is not to be.
Just as a matter of interest, I had 2 boxes of innova tests left as I never used any of them after ordering online months ago. I asked her to do the innova test to see if it gave the same result. It did take around 15 minutes to show a very, very faint line so certainly not as clear as the flowflex. She has had the omicron symptoms for a couple of days, scratchy throat and sniffly nose but has tested negative until this morning.
Maybe a more sensitive test would have picked up the virus a day or two earlier. If only they were available for sale to home use users here in the UK. Or, even better, given freely by UKGov instead of chinese tests of a lower S&S.
Merry xmas, going to paint a red cross on the front door, dinner and getting plssed early for us today
