I'm not a scientist just a member of the public.
False positives.

Assume 300'000 PCR tests per day. Thats 3000 False pos per day or 21'000 a week. Test and Trace reach c60%. Let's say 50% of contacts of those 21000 a week are told to isolate. Even based in 1 contact per False pos = 10'000 a week.

Over a month thats 125'000 people being told to self isolate based on false positives created by the PCR test.
Population of Cambridge, Sevenoaks, Winchester and Newcastle Under Lyme for example.

Things need to change. How long has PCR testing at scale been running? 4 months? That's the total population on Wiltshire, or County Durham or Manchester or Liverpool told to isolate due to PCR False positives.

Gosport, Redditch & Daventry all have c85000 population.
Over 4 months??? 335000, or the population of Coventry, Bromley or Enfield unnecessarily isolating.
