ONS are now asking whether 5-15 year olds included in the Covid-19 study (currently getting PCR tests monthly) also want to do a finger prick antibody test monthly.

(My 11yo daughter had asymptomatic Covid a few months back. Wonder if she'll be willing to have her finger stabbed in order to participate in this bit - I'm happy but she gets the last word on the matter.)

At least I now feel like the tax payer is getting their money's worth as I try to milk my finger(s) for 5ml of blood once a month. There is no way either of my kids (6 and 9) would do it even if they understood what £25 would buy in the real world!

They won't get extra for the finger stabbing. She already gets the £25 because she does the PCR test.

Haven't asked her about it yet, she was home from school, eating, and then out again for ballet.
