Thursday – Test-and-Trace data time
So are Lateral Flow Tests are becoming more useful?

So probably lots are false positives. Lots of money spent– little found

In secondary school 663,332 were tested, only 328 positive. Testing has move than doubled on previous week, numbers detected have not.
We are now down to 0.05% being positive – that is only 1 in every 2000 tested – another record low.

Given what we know about the infection rates from ONS and REACT – these data raise serious concerns that the LFTs are not doing the job that we expect. Many more cases should have been detected.
When will @dhscgov stop being an Ostrich and wake up to the problem?
Hope @MHRAgovuk are on the case.
