Our papers are saying they're expecting Covid to go on another six years so govt can't afford to keep giving out lateral flow tests for free, so they're going to start charging for them in the next few weeks.


Only care homes, hospital staff etc will get them still free..which I think is gonna create a 'black market' for them ie them getting stolen from care facilities to be sold online etc.

and what about people who were needing to shield cos the vaccines weren't giving enough protection (due to immune system issues) are we meant to shield a further 6 years or just risk our lives 'going back to normal' and having people in the house again?


Friends and relatives aren't gonna do an LFT every time they come if its gonna cost them over £100 to buy one just to visit me for an hour!!!
