Was just working on the assumption that most people don't test unless they think they might have Covid. Perhaps I'm wrong, but my hunch is that most people don't LFD regularly on the off chance. I do, most of my social circle do, but thats my bubble.
Don't forget you need to be infected for a fair few days before a test will show positive too.

Any idea what the proportion of people having to LFT regularly for work is? Everyone has to at least twice a week to get in the door where I work, I'm doing more often than that (as are others) just because that 72h feels like quite a big window.

You don't have to wait for symptoms. You could have a test on the 14th just in case if you think there is a chance you are positive and are otherwise going to be a hermit until Christmas.
