Good .... enough money has gone down the tubes with this ... If you want to keep testing why not test for diabetes, colon cancer .... something that will save your life .... Does any one remember the winter illness with all the symptoms described on here called ... The Cold .... seems to have disappeared ....

Is there not still a legal requirement to stay away from work if you test positive?

£3.93 a week for LFT’s from Boots .... You want to test, you pay for it. (Based on twice weekly testing, other chemists are available)

My wife will probably have to pay, otherwise she won't be allowed to visit her mum in a care home. This is wrong.

She could ask the care home to provide?
My employer is still going to provide LFTs for people going to the office

We will have to pay to visit Julies mum .... but it’s pennies compared to some of the costs involved on care ....
Nobody in our office or workshop is interested in testing so we won’t be doing anything ....

Given MIL pays over £50k pa, they probably won't provide any...

Can we get back to routine blood tests, I've not had any since October 2019.

Have you requested from the hospital/GP? Certainly my father is having his routine appointments and tests on NHS

 

[MrGrumpy]

Are you insured for the cancelled holiday. All this puts me off even thinking about booking anything.

That’s the point we were just about to book and pay and thought let’s just do a test just to be sure we are fine right now ! Glad we did now !

Apologies if Confused some of you !
