If you're sick but think it's not Covid (hi @Howard ) make sure you do a test with more than one brand of lateral flow kit.
We've got it and happened to test first with SureScreen - both positive. Started out with darker lines and has been fading, as you'd expect - other half tested negative today.
But we did tests after the first positive with Orient Gene and the blue and white NHS ones (Xiamen Biotime) which came back totally clear. Swabbed throat and nose for all tests.
False positives seem extremely unlikely as it's both of us and having had Covid three times now there are certain symptoms/feelings I recognise.
All this said I had the flu thing that's been going round in November and that was much worse than Covid this time round. Think it helped that we had it in June badly then got jabbed in October.
