Someone asked Tim Spector the other day about child with multiple positive LFT and negative PCR and he suggested that you were more likely to be positive and the LFT's correct given the background infection rates in schools but it all seems very non-intuitive for the lay person

Although it took nearly a week of being sick to get my first positive after that I was basically a positive LFT machine - finally gave a negative one yesterday. But PCRs 11 and 12 days after came back negative after the NHS lost my day 8 PCR test.
Non-intuitive is the word (or perhaps unintuitive).
Still have a slightly sore throat, more sneezy than normal and feel completely knackered - day to day activities are exhausting me at the moment.

Several of my daughters classmates are off with Covid (positive PCR). My daughter has mild symptoms but also had a flu and Covid jab on Thursday. On Sunday, Monday and today she has had a positive LFT. On Sunday she had a PCR which came back as 'unable to be read'. On Monday she had another PCR which has come back negative which seems really unlikely. 3rd PCR? Send her back to school?
