• it looks a bit like some brands of test pick up the current variant and some don’t. Would be keen to hear if this is what other people have noticed this too.

    Yep when we had it in December (very mild, as @Stonehedge describes above) only one brand of test kit picked it up.

    As he also says everyone should always assume you've got it if in doubt - statistically lots of false negatives but very few false positives is what you'd expect.

  • SureScreen - purple and white box.

    I've been under the weather for two weeks but have got rapidly worse since Sunday afternoon. Did a test last night (blue and white NHS box which IIRC is Innova) and a very very faint line but annoyingly I'm definitely not imagining it :/

    Did a Flowflex this morning and it seems to be negative, but they were the ones I tested positive on for months after I had it once before so I can definitely confirm they're sensitive. We're out of SureScreen now so that's not an option.

    I think that's #4 for me - possibly #5, last just before Christmas. lol.
