I think the idea is that you can pick them up from a pharmacy or order them through the post. In our house we have 2 NHS workers and my daughter works in a school so we have more lateral flow tests than we know what to do with!!Havent really been following the covid news much lately.
I was reading that we were to have a asymptomatic test twice a week. Our local testing centre is closing which now instead of a 5 minute drive with easy parking for hundreds of cars. We are meant to driver about over an hour round trip to two small villages try and find somewhere to park , twice a week. Sadly I wont have time for this anymore.
Can’t you just get them sent to your house?Havent really been following the covid news much lately.

Got our tests sent through the post today. simple ordering system and fairly swift delivery. We will be testing ourselves before we visit my daughter in a couple of weeks. She's testing also as she's 6 months pregnantGoing by what's been posted it would seem so ;)
Yep. I mentioned before that Prof Brian Cox (who always stated this wasn't his field and would'nt comment....unlike other scientists throwing their weight around) had heard the industry had advanced considerably through all this.I feel in developed countries we've come to the end of our cycle of using adapted Adenoviruses (or similar) off the back of this. They will remain an option whilst they are cheaper than mRNA equivalents, but that won't last forever.
I made a post in the previous thread about how excited I was to see the advancements of mRNA vaccines. On paper they are our trump card in this area of treatment and so rightly or wrongly, we must be thankful that COVID has brought us forward probably 20+ years.
No way of counting the deaths will be 100% accurate.I have a question.
The government figures always start with...
Deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
Does this really mean they all died of covid or other causes but they also had covid?
Figures might be a bit inflated if someone tested positive and then was run over. They would count wouldn't they?
Confused myself probably.
Our friend died of lung cancer in hospital. But whilst in there he tested positive for COVID. So he counts as a COVID death.I have a question.

Is this how other countrys report it tooNo way of counting the deaths will be 100% accurate.
The deaths within 28 days will give a quick reasonable approximation. Some will be missed because they die more than 28 days later and a few will have died of something else. This probably undecounts rather than overcounts because more die after 28 days.
The ONS count which is more delayed is probably more accurate and records what is written on the death certificate.
