Why would anyone with no symptoms pay boots £120 for a test, what is the point ? Also if you have symptoms you shouldn't be in boots in the first place, you should be isolating.Coming soon Covid test £120 at a Boots near to you, results in 12 minutes pity track and trace can't do that, could have something to do with £120.
Only confirmed positive cases admitted.Can you clarify? Are these people that were admitted to hospital because they have Covid19, or are they people who were admitted to hospital for other reasons and then were tested and found to have the virus? Ta
If you don't have symptoms but have been told to self isolate due to a close contact having it, i suppose you could have the test get a negative then not have to self isolate?Why would anyone with no symptoms pay boots £120 for a test, what is the point ?

They need to start showing it by providing us with their workings (theories and evidence).I would wager they have more common sense than you give them credit for
Even if you test negative you still need to isolate for 14 days due to the incubation period. Wayne Rooney being a famous example of this.If you don't have symptoms but have been told to self isolate due to a close contact having it, i suppose you could have the test get a negative then not have to self isolate?
Well the Zoe and ONS surveys seem to indicate that there are twice the number of daily cases than positive tests so it seems a reasonable assumption that other countries are in a similar boat.France yesterday reported 52,000 new cases.
A report I saw suggested the real rate is 100k a day. I don't know where they get that from because the UK infection survey suggests that in the UK only 1 in 4 new cases are being reported, and the UK tests a lot more people than they do in France.
Is this a blip? Their doubling time is about 9 days.
Do some countries need it for travel purposes?Why would anyone with no symptoms pay boots £120 for a test, what is the point ? Also if you have symptoms you shouldn't be in boots in the first place, you should be isolating.
What's the flu vaccine situation, anyone have any insight? My work have got me a voucher to have a free flu jab, but it's been unavailable to book for weeks online via Lloyds pharmacy.
I feel a bit guilty having it anyway to be honest. If it's short should I be leaving it and letting the more vulnerable have the chance? Both my kids have had the vaccine via school.
If you've been told to self isolate, you shouldn't be in boots though surely ?If you don't have symptoms but have been told to self isolate due to a close contact having it, i suppose you could have the test get a negative then not have to self isolate?
A reasonable reason I guess.Do some countries need it for travel purposes?

If it increases the chance of dying from Covid, I was wondering if obesity counts as an underlying health condition when stats are collated for deaths? anyone know? @Healdplace. Thanks
Bingo! That is the issue with track and trace. You are guilty (infected) until you prove otherwise, and have to pay to prove otherwise. It’s is sickening that in the midst of a pandemic it is all about money, the 6th richest nation and we shaft our own people. Xmas lockdown is my prediction, but it will be too late by then. Half measures have prolonged the agonyIf you don't have symptoms but have been told to self isolate due to a close contact having it, i suppose you could have the test get a negative then not have to self isolate?
No they don'tThey need to start showing it by providing us with their workings (theories and evidence).
No surprise - a two week circuit breaker won't make a dent in any figures as people are socialising in each others homes.Nicola Sturgeon adds that there are growing signs the restrictions are slowing the increase of cases but to start removing restrictions it has to get to the point of reducing not just slowing.

Cannot do the % positive test given to the change in method being used last week but 7.1% is low compared with figures in the 8 or 9% on that measure most of last week.
