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.

Daily LFT in our household. School had so many cases that they got told by the DFE to do more testing, more mask wearing etc. Apparently infection rates have dropped within the school so it is working.

Well, almost daily. Didn't go anywhere or do any testing on Sunday.
