Interested to find out.
I can't be bothered reporting negatives.
My main conundrum is would I report a positive, go for a PCR and jump on the track and trace band-wagon or would I just isolate until it's double negative?
I think I'd probably phone my boss on the QT and ask what he wants me to do.
I understand this is not a very community orientated approach because the more data that can be gathered, the more informed we will be about what's happening.
Doesn't fit into my workflow though. It gets done first thing when I go downstairs then taken into the car with me to work. By the time I'm out of the door and have arrived at work, that's 20 minutes up and I read the test to decide if I go in or turn around and go home. Used test is flung on the floor in the passenger side in among the sandwich wrappers and snotty tissues. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Yeah, I've been using these flow antigen tests for decades to detect coronavirus in baby calves with diarrhoea. The stripe will usually start to appear as soon as the fluid line reaches it. Although with that one, it can also be just a very faint line at the full read time. With a very strong positive, the control line can be barely visible.
Interestingly, the cattle ones can also record a very faint false positive if you leave it sitting longer than the allotted read time in strong daylight. I've been distracted in the past and have had to repeat a weak positive test that went over-time on the same sample which turned out negative. So I'd say if there's no stripe after 30 minutes, you're done.
EDIT: While it's not a quantitative test, I'd say from the intensity of the stripe on your test there, there was a LOT of virus in your sample. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Aye, I report them, yet to have a positive. There's a few wards I visit that have isolating patients, you need to take a flow test to get past the ward door. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Sometime during the second week of December, I picked up a particularly nasty bug, I assume from the guy at work who had spent the previous week looking like death warmed up and coughing his lungs out in front of all and sundry - in fact, a number of people went down with the same thing.
By coincidence, as this bug took effect, I started a week of holiday, most of which I spent either sleeping or trying to.
When I came back to work, they conducted two LFTs, so I had no option but to report the results - both were negative, so I took it upon myself to go to the nearest walk-in and have a PCR, my reasoning being that I wasn't convinced I had taken the tests correctly and I needed a more reliable (ie a test taken under supervision) result, so that I could either spend more time in isolation/recuperation, or approach my doctor and seek treatment, with proof of a negative result.
Today I discover three of my colleagues that I was exposed to at length, are now isolating, after testing positive at some point during the NY weekend.
They have apparently all had PCR tests, as have I, but track and trace hasn't contacted me yet, so I can only conclude that either they are lying and are swinging the lead, or the system isn't really firing on all eight.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, an anti vaxxer (I've had mine) or a covid denier, but there's such a lot of bollox attached to the whole thing, I really can't be arsed with it all anymore - I won't be having a booster, I won't be wearing a mask and I won't be doing any further tests. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

You keep posting those two specific sources as if posting them makes them somehow *good* sources...? They say the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result... ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

The Czech gov. changed the rules of the game again.
In december 2021, only the unvacinated employees had to be tested regulary with the lateral flow test, by their employer. If that was positive the infected employee then was obligated to undergo the PCR test. If that was positive, 14 days in quarantine. Negative PCR test result meant back to work, as they do realise the lateral flow tests may be false positive. ALSO, the mandatory PCR test after a close contact with a positively PCR tested person applied to unvacinated people only. Stay at home for at least 5 days and then undergo the PCR test yourself, if negative, go back to work, if positive stay at home for another 10 days, then go to work.
Now, a few days ago, the gov. made it mandatory for every single employee to be tested twice a week with the lateral flow test. A positive result of the lateral flow test means 5 days in quarantine, and then back to work. No more PCR testing. IIRC, people with the 4th booster do not have to be tested at all.
I'm not an expert but it almost seems like the Gov. bought way too many lateral flow tests, not enough PCR tests and they still have to use all those vacines that are slowly spoiling in their fridge. I only listened to the part about work stuff. I might check again and edit this post later (pubs, public venues, freelancers, self employed people etc.).
TL; DR: If you are an employee in the Czech rep. you have no choice, they test you, they know the results. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
