A croydon pharmacist has been arrested for 'allegedly' selling testing kits with false claims about their effectiveness. A surveyor was also arrested with 250 kits in his car which he claimed were to let construction workers test themselves.

You simply send in the swab. The issue is why bother when it takes 3 days to get the answer, so you don't save much time as against self-isolation.

The reason for the dearth of kits is because they are made by Airfix. And all the toyshops are closed.

Assuming that site is legit, and just my personal opinion, of course... Better off waiting until you're symptom-free, then getting this. It's cheaper, and can determine if you've already had it. The test for actually having it? With a 3-ish day turnaround? What's the point at some level. Good chance you'll be over it within 50% of that time. That said, a real bummer if you take the test and then it returns negative.

I thought there is an issue with the accuracy of the test for those who have had the illness?
