Lateral Flow Test Shortage

[Leni]

They're free on the NHS website.

They don’t have any. None in any of the normal pick-up spots in my town either, on Friday. I’ll have to check again tomorrow, but I’m not hopeful

No idea how long it stays like that but they've only switched to that as of this evening. I looked at around 6pm because of this thread and they were available. Check back regularly.

This is what I get and gave been since before crimbo.
I ended up following the collect option but the only place it said I could pick up from atm was Boots so popped in but they said they've had none for over a week and didn't know of anywhere else that had any left.

I’ve checked about 5 times today…. I wouldn’t be so bothered, if I didn’t feel like crap, and like I’m coming down with something I can’t go to work until I know one way or another

Yep, see that same message now but, as I said, didn't look like that at 6pm for me. Maybe it was only up n available for a brief window, maybe it's regional, no idea whatsoever. Now I see what you both see, at 6pm-ish I saw something very different.

Personally, I think I'd be checking every hour or so if I was actually looking to order. Demand must be astronomical and each window of opportunity could sell out as quickly as sweeties at a nonces convention.

Hope it's minor whatever it is and you feel better soon.

Oh, that's not good. My missus ordered from the NHS site a couple of day's ago but hasn't heard anything since. Maybe that's why.

interesting, i just assumed my wife had been ordering these sets from orient gene but maybe it’s amazon sending them, right enough.
