Strange One ( Positive lateral flows then negative on PCRs)

[Harry Paget Flashman]

It's happened to me last week and at least 12 people I know of.

All of us coughing, fatigued and have no taste or smell. I did 5 LFT all positive - 2 PCRs both negative.

Test and Trace have contacted my mate today who has exactly the same symptoms and outcomes on his testing and said its definitely Covid and he needs to isolate. Suggested its probably a new strain that isn't getting picked up by the PCR. Said its the no taste and smell thats the give away.

All this in the wider Pontypridd area.

I think you need to be careful what you eat/drink before doing an LF - lot of false positives caused by fruit drinks etc.. apparently.

Incredible to think that many of the government’s decision making has been based on inaccurate
Tests isn’t it , particularly in my case , relating to my sons missed education…. It’s been devastating as a family.
