i think schools closing, euros ending, the nhs covid19 app ping and holidays starting are actually contributing to a lower number. scotland’s early school holiday should correlate at least part of this hypothesis.
a couple of q’s thou:
1. where do you report lateral flow tests? i do mine at home every day as my work sent out boxes of them.
2. if a lateral flow is positive, aren’t you supposed to do another and then a pcr test?

I imagine that that report result site will refer you for a PCR test, although thankfully I've never personally been in that position.
- dTal 5y agoThat's exactly what happens. False positives with lateral flow tests are not unknown. In fact, if the prior probability of having covid is less than about 0.5%, you still have <50% probability of having covid even with a positive lateral flow.
