I don’t disagree with the checks I just know some will moan like **** about them and will see it as more of a hindrance as in there eyes this is nothing more than a cold or the flu.
LFT aren't 100% but it was said today they are 80 - 90%. I wouldn't dismiss them because I would rather use them and get 8 out of 10 infections than not use them and get 0 out of 10.

Regarding the cold or flu, that just isn't correct, but I think the Govt should have used a different way of reporting than within 28 days of a positive test.

A hindrance, yes, but aren't we supposed to be in this together and take actions to protect others?
