The school kids in the UK soon sussed out that orange juice or coca cola up the nose before a lateral flow test would mean ten days off school.Their mates in class also got time of too.

Just do the test properly?
For goodness' sakes?
You mean like taking a test into your nose near your brian right? you do know that test goes through near your brain area right?
for a test to test saliva for infections you dont a test into your nose. Another reason i refuse the tests.
Or would you prefer the c19 that China is doing?

They should have waited for the FREE GOVERNMENT TEST KITS to arrive in the mail.
They will be more reliable!
I laughed at that too. What a waste of money.
How may people trust the government enough to tickle their brain with a swab the government sends to your home?
When I was a kid, the old folk would not even eat the cheese, powdered milk, and powdered eggs, the government sent to their homes. I can still hear them telling us, "Never trust the government."
I just wish more of us had listened.
Are you seriously suggesting that during WW2 there were "woke folk" questioning powdered milk and eggs and not trusting the Govt about that? Maybe not keen on the taste but just ran that past my dear old mum who was actually there at the time.
To say that she thinks that is nonsense is putting it mildly.
The FDA SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel was first provided to all developers of authorized IVD EUAs that used contrived samples to validate their assay and is provided to all developers who request an EUA for SARS-CoV-2 NAATs. In general, FDA's EUAs require developers to evaluate and submit the analytical limit of detection and assess traceability of their product with any FDA-recommended reference material as a condition of the authorization. As explained above, assessment of assay performance using the FDA SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel allows for a consistent determination of the relative sensitivity of these tests and cross-reactivity with MERS-CoV virus.
The tests are not reliable is the only conclusion.

The Covid tests are only 26% effective. I was told by an insider months ago. Despite telling people about this they still choose to test. If someone is sick they should just stay home and get better. There is no point in testing to confirm what you already know.
You were "told by an insider"?
I'm supposed to buy that?
No, thanks.
Believe it. There are quite a few well-connected members on ATS. (I'm not one of them.)
So, I'm supposed to take it on faith that that poster is "well-connected"?
No. Just no. Seriously?

USA is vastly different than the UK and you're basing your positions on the experiences of a lifelong urban (I assume) UK resident. A visit into the rural United States would open your eyes to the fact that what you're arguing against was and is 100% accurate. Further, a lot of that distrust was and is absolutely for cause. The government basically used rural Americans as guinea pigs for most of the 1900s where everything from pollutants, pesticides, experimental drugs, diseases, and questionable foods were concerned. The Tuskegee experiment, in which hundreds of black males were intentionally infected with syphilis and refused treatments for decades, was entirely comprised of subjects found in rural agricultural areas. The US government during WWII used thousands of rural Army troops in live experiments with mustard gas to observe the effects on the human body, swearing the forced subjects to secrecy through national security citations and blunt threats until the 1990s. The federal government conducted live radiation experiments (including injecting plutonium into Americans) on test subjects found in rural America for 30 years and again slapped a national security tag on it to prevent them or their families from exposing these tests until the program was declassified by Clinton in the mid 90s.
# the government, seriously. They are untrustworthy.
Healing covid would be offtopic?
Well I guess if you don't want to share it with us, that's your decision.
