Once this news is confirmed it could be very interesting to view respective Premiership team selections moving forward.

Whilst always better to be safe than sorry , this type of error which incorrectly closed the Bath training facility does not help matters:

I hope you're not lumping anyone who dares question the situation either because I and many have just been totally vindicated with regards to the PCR testing after the WHO recent statement on them. I hate the fact that there's no middle ground and how you are labelled if you dare go against the grain!

This is the last I'll ever say on this subject but I hope it not deleted because its meaningful. We are split! We have the pro EU/anti Brexit ,pro mask,pro vaccine ,pro lockdown on the left and the anti vaccine, anti mask,anti lockdown,pro Brexit on the right. Or that's how its been cleverly orchestrated by the government/MSM!
If a world war started we wouldn't have the left in the bomb shelters and the right above ground would we? No,we would all be in their together. But sadly its gone too far now. Whatever happens in the future I hope all you and your families and friends are safe.

I'd sooner have a diagnostic test that errs on the side of safety(false positives in this case) than one that delivers false negatives with the associated consequences. No diagnostic test is 100% accurate for anything.

Does that mean Sarries are going to finish bottom of their mini tournament with Doncaster and Ealing?

I think Scott is trying to highlight the issue of tribalism removing the possibility for a balanced view.

Just because he doesn't think a test works very well and therefore potentially does harm, it doesn't mean he's a covid denier or conspiracy theorist or moron. Likewise, just because I don't think Ed Griffiths should be lynched for carrying a briefcase, it doesn't mean I think he and Nigel Wray are "holy".

Just because someone disagrees with your point of view, it doesn't mean they believe the extreme opposite.

You mean the way you've definitely (not potentially) manipulated the WHO statement? I may not be on the middle ground, or the fence on it, but at least I can recognise it.

Really? We talking about the WHO who have changed their minds on masks and changed their definition of herd immunity on their website? That WHO?!

The blurb with the test I had, as part of a UK survey warned of both false positives AND false negatives.

My wife works in day care for key workers kids. There was a case in the group so she got tested. Result +ve. She just had a slight cough. That's all.

I had to self isolate and inform the University. They wanted me to take a test. I did. +VE. No symptoms, but +VE.

In the recent past I would have assumed nothing was wrong with me and I'd have turned in for work. So am I a disbeliver? Sceptic?

To be quite honest I don't know what to believe.
