UK facing rapid antigen test shortage

UK facing rapid antigen test shortage

????

The United Kingdom is facing a shortage of rapid antigen tests and delays in PCR testing which is leading to Christmas plans being changed or cancelled at the last minute. Some vaccination centres will remain open over the holiday period to enable more people to get their booster shot.

Rapid tests are notorisouly unreliable, full stop. They might be good for politicians but useless when employed en masse. In over 65 million rapid tests that were taken in Greece, 3.7 million were positive and repeated tests proved that only 220K of them were true positive, a mere 6% in reliability. They are USELESS.

Boris is completely disgusting telling people to get a booster for their family, one sick individual

Does any of you know what antigen does in the body?
@karenfrances116 Says:
Why would anyone take a test when they don’t feel sick? Because they are already brain dead.
@sephinator1368 Says:
none of the tests work anyway
@IamLazlow Says:
Good they dont work
@doubleooh7337 Says:
Well when the same houses get a whole box of tests everyday for 7days running they'd run out doesn't one box have 7-14tests in? So why send the same person same house 7BOXES? I'm a postie i delivered them to the houses that already had boxes several days running!
@miriam100ful Says:
good, healthy people do not need testing . Especially as these so called tests do not detect a virus.

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on a second so they are keeping medical centres open for jabs on Christmas and they are running out of stock of the test kits so family's struggle to meet up lol sounds like great control of the market to me sounds like there playing with life's here

This is fake news, manufactured out of thin air, by the UK's version of Sky News. We literally have to watch Sky Australia to find out any genuine news about the UK. Yesterday you could literally walk up to any stand/booth in any any town centre and ask for as many boxes of test kits as you wanted (for free). It has been like that for months. Any moron that waited until the very last minute to grab a box at 4pm Xmas Eve, just as the shops were closing, only have them selves to blames. It's the same morons that wait until the last hour on Xmas Eve to do their big Xmas shop every year and then they complain the shops have run out of gravy or stuffing for the turkey. LOL
@adpmac3981 Says:
These tests you self report. I just bin the test and click Negative. They don't care about the results so I won't.
@drewhodge3820 Says:
This simply isn't true. Everyone has boxes of tests at home. They literally have stands dotted around in every town and city giving boxes of tests away to anyone who wants them. 7 tests in each box. There have been 4 blokes handing out boxes of test kits to people going to the supermarket every single day for free for the past few months in my town. Even yesterday (Xmas eve) so this is utter nonsense.
@markramsey161 Says:
The shortage doesn't surprise me. I was talking to the postman he said he's delivering two boxes to each household at the same time
@mattus1gig Says:
Now watch the numbers drop. 😆
@MattyFreedom Says:
They've been giving them out like sweets at supermarkets.

These are not tests anymore than PCR's are tests, they diagnose nothing and are almost 100% false positives, why are the media so lazy and ignorant after 2 years

The test that gives you false positives? Good. Wake up sheeple

That's because people are told to get tested when nothing is wrong with them.
