@DavidBr30412894 @TiceRichard @MattHancock The better question is are you testing the same thing; No. PCR detects viral fragments which persist long after any infection. LF tests for the actual presence of virus. Apples and oranges. Not a lot of people know that (if posts here are a measure).

@TiceRichard @MattHancock This is of course because of the difference in what is being tested. Gov testing past infection (harmless) LFT current presence of virus (useful). The gov are either incompetent or biased - either way they are wrong and have been for months. They need to stop the fear.
