• My PCR came back negative about an hour ago.

    Apparently I'm suppose to enter the negative result into the app. How does that help anyone? Why would I want to do that? If I'm being paranoid the app doesn't currently know who I am but that changes if I put a test result in.

    I think I've had a cold for about a week. A couple of LFTs during that time both negative.

  • Why would I want to do that?

    It helps with quality assurance data for the testing services amongst other things.

  • Maybe it helps calculating the % of people that can infect each other in a household?

    IDK how the English app works though. The NI one only asks you for positive PCR tests.

    Exes missus dad also tested positive now, luckily he has no symptoms. Ex/another kid in household waiting on results.

  • Proportion of positive tests is helpful as it gives more information to help differentiate greater prevalence of c19 from greater testing when more positives are recorded. One of the main metrics used in the us I think
