My cousin had a Christmas dinner on the weekend, with all 14 guests testing negative on lateral flows beforehand. Subsequently 6 guests have now had positive PCRs with everyone else still awaiting results.
Don't wanna worry you danny la rouge , but a mate has just posted this on FB:So now I’ve had a negative result. I will have to return everyone’s best wishes.
London.Wow, that's pretty epic, guess a false negative LFT and Omicron spread maybe? How long after did they start getting symptoms and testing positive? What part of the country if you don't mind saying?
I didn’t have symptoms. I went for a PCR because my daughter (who has to do lateral flows for work) tested positive on lateral flow. She and my partner both got negative PCR this morning, followed by a negative for me 30 mins later.Don't wanna worry you danny la rouge , but a mate has just posted this on FB:
"despite multiple positive lateral flow tests and a good set of distinctive symptoms my PCR has come back negative, as has that of another person who got ill at the same time (a few others in the same cluster are waiting for results). On balance of probabilities I'm thinking that it's much more likely that there is a repeat of the major issue with PCR labs than there is another lurgy with similar symptoms that shows up on lat flow that we all shared at an event. Has anyone else had this, or heard of this recently? I've been told there are some reports on Twitter."
and
"Having spoken to a couple of friends in higher places, this has been logged and I'm certain it's an error especially as others are coming back +ve. Retesting today."
Might be worth retesting yourself.
Or negative!That sounds a lot more positive then, phew!
Boom boom!Or negative!

With a re-test and a PCR if getting a positive, perhaps.
Actually, ignore what I said about re-test and go straight to PCR after a positive LFT.
Sorry - that really sucks. Esme's choir is supposed to be having an amazing opportunity to sing in Royal Festival Hall with a world-class choir in March but I have a feeling that won't happen. Even if the event could happen I expect the rehearsal period would be a write-off. I'm assuming same for my choir's March concert.Confirmation today that 10yo's Young Voices choir concert (massive thing held at the O2) has been postponed from January. No new date as yet. I really hope it does go ahead at some point, but bitterly disappointed for her in the meantime Just another thing she and her friends are missing out on.
I got flu 25 years ago and my ex got me to watch all the Red Dwarf programmes, which I'd never seenWell I’m signed off work with (chronic) fatigue anyway so…
I’m so sorry. How vindictive of them.I got flu 25 years ago and my ex got me to watch all the Red Dwarf programmes, which I'd never seen
This came back negative. Very pleased, as was convinced I had it. I'll book another one in a couple days to check.I went for another PCR test this morning - they've rolled out a 'pop-up' test centre near hear - basically a van with some fold up tables..
Get the result tomorrow - got a couple of mild symptoms - temperature/lethargy, so could be just me being lazy..
My neices are in Yorkshire ffsYour nieces are positive, and you still came down to stay?
Fucking hell, I am glad I am not meeting you for a few beers.
My neices are in Yorkshire ffs

Mine too, had visit from a couple of friends who came in - we were all masked up but my breathing's been dodgier since and I do have something of a cough.PCR test arrives this morning...
