I trust you’ve got a good beer stock just in case.Our's are being delivered tomorrow. I believe it isnt a very pleasant experience. Our neighbour's tested positive on Monday and are in self isolation. I guess I'll have to wait and see!
What do you think pal?I trust you’ve got a good beer stock just in case.
My niece had it done, she said the swab up the nose was the difficult one, she thought they took a sample of her brain!Our's are being delivered tomorrow. I believe it isnt a very pleasant experience. Our neighbour's tested positive on Monday and are in self isolation. I guess I'll have to wait and see!
Any idea of how long results take?Our's are being delivered tomorrow. I believe it isnt a very pleasant experience. Our neighbour's tested positive on Monday and are in self isolation. I guess I'll have to wait and see!
It was a couple of days for our neighboursAny idea of how long results take?
Yer 48 hours although Daughter had to do a second swab as first one was spoiled.It was a couple of days for our neighbours
Andy my wife works for Bolton council in a Dementia home and I have a rare lung disease, so I think I got the BWFC slot same time as hers. Ps.. Wipe your feet when leaving Preston lolTomorrow afternoon at Preston, wouldn’t give me the BWFC option Dave even though I work right by it!
My wife is a key worker, our neighbours have it, so we thought it prudent to apply for the tests through the website.What I don't get is the amount of people taking these tests. I'm a Key Worker and work alongside about 30 others, none of whom have had the test. Are people having them to see if they've got it, had it or are just doing it because they can?!
I’m a key worker and there are probably half working in our delivery office and the other half working later, still not ideal, 2 colleagues have tested positive and one was working last week so I just want to check as my wife is in the vulnerable camp, went today and it was busy and most didn’t seem to be key workers, took about 30 mins, find out in a couple of daysWhat I don't get is the amount of people taking these tests.

Completely agree.What I don't get is the amount of people taking these tests. I'm a Key Worker and work alongside about 30 others, none of whom have had the test. Are people having them to see if they've got it, had it or are just doing it because they can?!
Fingers crossed for you.Been today with my wife for testing... My wife works in a Dementia home which has 10 Confirmed covid 19 cases and sadly 4 have died..I have a lung disease and have developed a dry cough this week.. My wife is scared she has brought it home... We will see in a few days.

My Mrs is a social worker, doesn't have any symptoms, but our neighbours have it and she was advised to get us all tested.I thought, even if you are key worker, you should only get tested if showing symptoms? The only exceptions appear to be health and care workers and their families who can get tested even if not showing symptoms

Hope you are negative ,fingers crossed.Been today with my wife for testing...

we said that to our manger when he told us to get tested, and he was told that we should get a test as there had been confirmed cases in our place, and not everyone gets symptoms,The Gov.UK website says the test is for:
* essential workers with coronavirus symptoms
* over 65s with coronavirus symptoms
(The bold emphasis added by me. There's a clue in there.)

I have been told nothing about taking the test so you can have mine.What I don't get is the amount of people taking these tests. I'm a Key Worker and work alongside about 30 others, none of whom have had the test. Are people having them to see if they've got it, had it or are just doing it because they can?!
Great I don't need one then.I

Where I would have invested heavily if I was the government - huge swathes of people could now be back at work and back in society if they'd taken this and been positive.The only real 'test' that would be relevant would be a 100% accurate anti-body test to see if you've had it.
Are these tests open to anybody?
I don't think a test is needed...He will not be infectious after a certain amount of timeAll this testing is just plain crazy.
As I’ve said before my son in law tested positive about 3 weeks ago (front line NHS worker at the Vic) had mild symptoms so self isolated for about 10 days in total went back to work over a week ago without any other test to see if he still had it.
Just plain crazy.
How did your tests go Dave? My wife has Sarcoidosis and was concerned for you.Thanks Andy... I'm hoping it's just my Sarcoidosis and can get medication from the doctors... Tense few days.
How did your tests go Dave? My wife has Sarcoidosis and was concerned for you.
Ernie.. Both our tests came back negative... They did take a week to come back though... Bit of a delay.... So my dry cough is my sarcoid playing up... But my wife will probably have to repeat test due to her job... Hope your wife is staying safe.How did your tests go Dave? My wife has Sarcoidosis and was concerned for you.
The government has bought millions of different antibody tests but nobody has developed a reliable one yetWhere I would have invested heavily if I was the government - huge swathes of people could now be back at work and back in society if they'd taken this and been positive.
Great news Dave.Ernie.. Both our tests came back negative... They did take a week to come back though... Bit of a delay.... So my dry cough is my sarcoid playing up... But my wife will probably have to repeat test due to her job... Hope your wife is staying safe.
