Has anyone who intends to go realised, that you have to take a test both before and after, if either is positive (false or genuine) you will have to self isolate for 10 days, and you'll be committing a criminal offence if you go to work?
I'm self-employed, and could not afford not to work.
According to the BMJ (
https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n706 19/93/21), they've no idea what proportion are false positives?
They've used an example in the above report that false positives are about 50%, however as the number of infections falls to zero, the number of false positives must head towards 100%. Infection rates have plummeted, so if you do get a positive result, it's likely to be wrong.
It would be a real kick in the teeth to spend money on this, miss the match and have your income ruined when there's nothing wrong with you?
I'm only making the point in case you're planning on going and hadn't realised the impact this could have on you.
