Our school LFD tests allow us to either swap your throat plus ONE nostril or swan BOTH nostrils..

The LFD kits used by staff to do themselves at home just says BOTH nostrils and doesn’t even mention swabbing the throat .


Oddly at school we are not told to aboud eating or drinking 30 minutes before the test but the home testing kits instruct you to AVOID food or drink for 30 minutes before testing ...

They are both LFD tests ..

...Maybe the sizes can vary from centre to centre as well, depending on which distributor they came from as well, I don’t know but it’s like every/any ‘procedure’ isn’t it, in that there will be variations in experiences...I’m sure that you’ve had the full experience that hopefully many others have had as well, I’d like to think so and I’m sure that’s very true...

different tests, different tools basically. It doesnt take a big item to collect microscopic strands of covid. If covid were the size of a golf ball, it might be a different matter

I had a high fever for the first day or so, but since then I’ve felt ok. I’ve spent most of self isolation doting on my wife, because her body hasn’t responded as well to it as me unfortunately.

Yeah, can’t remember if I’d had 3 or 4. Last one tested positive on the 13th of Jan I think it was.

Aside from feeling a bit fatigued still, the other symptoms have all gone. Was very unpleasant at its worst, though

...yeah my brother in law has had quite a grim time as well but he’s starting to feel himself again...that’s always been one of the things of it, the differences in how bodies display it in almost entirely different ways, as if it wasn’t the same virus, almost...I’m so sorry that it was so horrid for you, Jake and that you felt so ill but so pleased that you’re feeling so much better again, now.....
