For all of their limitations, aren’t LFT’s pretty good at picking up infections early as that’s when you’re most infectious? Could be wrong.

dingbat2 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Loving the sound from Edgbaston on the TV at the moment. That's exactly what we have missed so much over the past year... we can't go back to where we have been the last year.

Could be wrong. This is because, unlike PCR tests, lateral flow tests cannot detect very low levels of coronavirus in a sample. This means the test may not give a positive result if you have only recently been infected; are in the incubation period; or if you have mostly recovered. from this .....https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/feature/how-reliable-are-lateral-flow-covid-19-tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCR has a lower detection limit, so can be positive a day or two before an antigen test…figure below covers it pretty simply (from the BMJ)… Edited July 13, 2021 by Toilet Duck Typo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty clear for a while that the 8 week gap doesn't make much sense for the people currently being vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you cannot beat a good ODI / T20 International on a sunny evening in Blighty. Everyone well oiled but always well behaved and partying. And a few Sweet Caroline's on the way. Can't think of a better way to enjoy a british summer evening!

Saw that, awesome stuff. I always think Ireland are nearly there in international cricket but never quite break through. I wonder what would have happened had Eoin Morgan kept playing for them?

Can’t really blame him for making a living playing for England, would take a lot for us to really move up to be contenders, but it’s gotten a lot more popular here over the last decade or so and now we get to play against the top teams more regularly, that can only help. I’ve been down to it a few times here, the last game of this series would have been packed to the rafters on Friday as the weather looks like it will be great, but limited capacity at the mo.
