For those of you looking at weekly #PEPP purchase numbers, let me give you a brief explainer how to read our numbers. For PEPP, there are three types of publications: weekly, monthly and bimonthly. #NerdyThread #ECBWatchers #Servicetweet @ecb 1/11 ecb.europa.eu/mopo/implement…

THREAD on Lateral Flow Device tests (LFDs):

They are being used more and more in England.

Thread about how they're used, why you NEED confirmatory PCR testing, how it will make interpretating case figures difficult as we open up.

LFDs are used to test people who don't have Covid symptoms - they give results in about 30 minutes.

The govt reckons about 30% of people with Covid don't have symptoms & this article suggested that asymptomic spread might account for 50% of cases.

So the point is to find people who have Covid but don't know they have Covid & stop them mixing with, and potentially infecting, other people. 3/19
