Thousands of British citizens may have received false negatives and been incorrectly told they don't have the coronavirus after receiving negative PCR tests but positive rapid lateral flow device (LFD) exams, according to The Associated Press.
The United Kingdom's National Health Service said about 400,000 samples had been processed through a now-suspended testing lab, but 43,000 people may have been given incorrect negative PCR test results between Sept. 8 and Oct. 12, The Guardian reported.
The Immensa Health Clinic Ltd. lab in central England has been suspended by the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) after the false negatives amid widespread backlash from the country's residents.

False negatives? I thought that “the science” is infallible. At least, that is what we have been told.

Oy! Such a serious disease! You get a negative test result, and you believe it, and simply go about your business. Because the disease is just that deadly.

What about the 15 minute PCR tests used there (if they did use them)?
Were they equally as bad as the ones sent back to that lab?

So, they’re either dead now, and not from covid, or immune and don’t know it.
Clap for Carers!

The Immensa Health Clinic Ltd. lab...
Dunno, but “I’m Mensa Health Clinic Ltd. Lab” sounds kinda sketchy.

So what became of them? Did they recover naturally or not?

Now do the false positives... Yes 40 thousand false negatives compared to 40 million false positives... You can see why they are concerned.
To: dhs12345
Well, Hell... I’m sure many, many times more than 40,000 have gotten false positives, so I’m sure it works out in the balance. (/clueless)
