Are they ?
The internet says …
Lateral flow tests deliver a rapid result, in 30 minutes. They can find positive cases with high levels of virus that are easy to transmit to others, helping to intercept and reduce further infections.
Lateral flow tests used by the UK government go through a rigorous evaluation by the country’s leading scientists. This means they are accurate, reliable and successfully identify those with COVID-19 who don’t show symptoms and could spread the virus without realising.
Lateral flow tests are not being offered in isolation, but alongside a range of other measures to drive down cases and break chains of transmission.

The Chinese are making a mint from these |  |

I’d say it’s the other way around, people test negative on LTF and the go on to test positive wth the more accurate PCR.
You’re not wrong about China, they are making a mint. I’d have hoped we’d be more self sufficient post Brexit and Covid, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. | | | |

Absolutely it's the other way around, and exactly the case in my situation.
Although I must say looking back at LFT'S the positive line can be very feint and barely visible. | | | |

Ribena, orange juice, most things mildly acidic set off then colorimetric reaction. Widely used by kids up here | | | |

They ain't very good imo in past 6 months I've had 3 positive results had PCR test then all negative they must be costing the country millions of lost days at work.
And from what I heard from my daughter her unvaccinated friends they ain't using them properly they are just saying they are negative to go out 🤬

Incredibly - after being the source of the original outbreak China has recorded fewer than 5000 deaths. In a country with a population of ive 1.5 billion people. Contrast us at 60,000,000 and around 15 times the amount of deaths. Crazy innit |  |

Looks like the UK ones have been passed to be used in the EU but not the UK (oh dear, this could send the thread off in a different direction now)
