Technically we are only advised to get a PCR test if we have:
a high temperature
a new, continuous cough
you’ve lost your sense of smell or taste or it’s changedSo, if you were following government guidance, you'd still be none the wiser.
Stonehedge-
Good point. Those thresholds were triggered the next day (high temperature) and this morning (cough + sense of taste gone). It's all happening at scrabble towers today!
Weirdest thing is having spent 18 months trying to avoid this virus I now have a grizzly 6 year old coughing it round the whole house. Ideally we'd isolate somewhat into different rooms, but in a two up two down semi with a patio garden and one bathroom between the fours of us- this is impossible.

Thanks - interesting. The only thing I can't get my head around is how if she had a runny nose because those were her visible first symptoms of covid, how her snot did not contain enough virus to show up. To me, that seems a serious shortcoming as we could easily be living in blissful ignorance if not for our belt and braces approach.
I'm very tempted to do more LFDs, but don't think the misses wants me running an experiment on her at this moment. She's stressing big time already.
