"Arrange a meet", she says.

"How about these guys?", I say.

"Sure," she replies, "Tell them they need to do a rapid flow test beforehand..."

So what's everyone's thoughts on this? Would you be happy to oblige for a fun and safe meet or just say, "well f*@k off then!"?

I’m double jabbed and get tested at work so not quite sure how I qualify as a Covid conspiracy theorist. My objection to this is that I don’t think the lateral flow tests should be used so that someone can have a shag.

Good job we don't live in America then!!

OP it's a good idea I posted this question a few months ago and got a lot of negative comments.

I think it's a great idea and at the end of the day what harm can it do?

It's free and easy, obviously some people consider it a breach of their"freedoms" but it's an easy way to filter out people who you don't want to meet.

If I was about to meet someone that I didn't know well, I would have had "the conversation" beforehand, and just regard having similar attitudes towards covid as part of general compatibility. Anybody that I already knew well, we would already know that we shared that attitude.

In any case doing an lft would just be part of my normal getting ready for a meeting - have shower, apply roll-on, perfume, nice underwear, stick lft probe down throat and up nostril, do makeup, finish dressing, check lft result, check I've got everything I need in handbag, put on heels, grab jacket and car keys, final glance at lft just in case belated result, out to the car...

Is the lft result 100% reliable? Of course it's not. But what's the downside to doing it?

Do you mean LTF or PCR? If LFT, no issue at all but PCR’s are not available like that. You need to either pay or have symptoms.

It’s worth noting too, I keep seeing people say they are double jabbed when advertsing meets. I don’t think people realise it’s not an immunity to others…it means if you get it, YOU are less likely to have severe symptoms. It literally has no bearing on you not being a potential host to the virus and potentially infecting those you meet.

Are you asking to see the actual plastic test strip when they arrive?

Otherwise they could just lie or register a negative result without actually taking the test, which kinda negates asking for it.

"I test every time I socialize, whether that's going to see family, coffee with a friend or meeting a FWB.

I wouldn't object to being asked for a recent negative test."

Likewise. It’s not a hardship to take a test and you have a result in 30 minutes.

"All well & good, (which is great), but if u have caught covid from the person you meet, how long before u test positive from meeting that person? Also, these lateral flow tests are massively unpredictable/ inaccurate. How or when do we know we're clear?"

You'd have a PCR test from the NHS to confirm your infection. They will advise you on the time needed to quarantine etc, based on the rules at the time and your circumstances

The lateral flow and PCR test give a very high false positive test results so just very wary of how accurate they actually are. The nhs run the PCR test at over 40 cycles which means you could test a banana and it would test positive lol. Plus the creator of the PCR test Mr Mulis stated clearly that it can not be used definitively to test for infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and the NHS know this clearly and insist on doing it anyway knowing it will increase the cases.

My GP sent out a text to say not to take the LFT tests. Not sure why but if they are unreliable and give false negatives and then you still meet, who is to blame for passing on the infection?

LFT also rely on the individual actually doing it properly and getting the right area to swab.

Lft tests are not free,the government pays for them which ultimately means we all pay for them through increased taxes in the years or decades to come. If people want a test before a meet then they should pay for it themselves and not pass the bill onto everyone else just because they want to get their leg over

So we should decide who should get tested and why?

Is the goal not to drive down case numbers and reduce the threat to the NHS and future health?

Would you rather those future taxes go to a future disability burden rather than tests now? I wouldn't.

Should we also ration STI tests? Cancer screening? Could be a problem later, but it'll be cheaper now, right?

No, we would expect anyone we meet to be fully vaccinated as well. As regards the test being hit and miss - admittedly it’s not perfect but it is around 80% accurate "

That's for a positive result....

Far more interesting are the negative results.

30% of people with symptomatic sars-cov-2 infection test negative.

For those with asymptomatic infections the negative test percentage was 52% (over 5 out of 10 with an infection tested negative with the NHS Rapid Antigen Test)

Good job we don't live in America then!!

OP it's a good idea I posted this question a few months ago and got a lot of negative comments.

I think it's a great idea and at the end of the day what harm can it do?

It's free and easy, obviously some people consider it a breach of their"freedoms" but it's an easy way to filter out people who you don't want to meet.

Definetly agree!!

I'm double jabbed and tested before going to the pub yesterday to meet a mate and watch rugby....not for my health but his and everyone else who I crossed paths with throughout the day. I also wore my mask onpublic transport even though my test was negative - just in case.

I'd rather take safety measures jist to be safe, don't understand why others don't.

why wouldn't you?

Bent double jabbed doesn't mean I'm immune, just less likely to catch it or spread it and hopefully if I did get it then I would not be as poorly as I was the first time I got covid.

I've been double jabbed since March. I test up to 6 times a week for work and recreational. I went out to the pub for a meal the other day and I tested before I left.

I still also wear my mask pretty much everywhere I did before last Monday and most places it's still requested the rest it is still compulsory

It reduces the likelihood of me spreading it, it looks like, due to reduced viral transmission.

But you were asking about testing if jabbed. If I'm jabbed I'm safer to others. But jabbed plus regular testing is safer.

The first paragraph acvording to the CDC says if you are fully vaccinated you can return to doing things you did before the pandemic ... so then is testing before meets absolutely necessary? If we are allowed to do the things we did before? Just going by the article obviously.

Why does my car have both a seatbelt and an airbag?

If the seatbelt is any good, then there is no need for the airbag, so I should get rid of it.

If the airbag is any good, then there is no need for the seatbelt, so I should get rid of it.

If I can still die with either seatbelt or airbag, then obviously both are useless, so I should get rid of both of them. And don't start me on crumple zones...

My MOT only says that my car is roadworthy at the actual minute that the test is done. Ten minutes later driving down the road I might hit a pothole and damage the chassis making the car unsafe. So the MOT is totally worthless and I shouldn't bother doing it.

Why do I wear a rain coat and take an umbrella? If the rain coat was good, I wouldn't need the umbrella. If the umbrella was good, I wouldn't need the raincoat. Even with both I can still get wet when the rain is heavy enough. Therefore there is no point in either wearing rain coat or taking umbrella, as neither will guarantee dryness. And don't start me on wearing boots when it is snowing...

Good luck. The lateral flow tests (rapid antigen tests) are supposed to be over 90% accurate in showing a positive result. But they have a 30% (ish) error when showing negative results (and that varies depending upon the viral load of the test sample).

A bit like an STI test, it's only valid when the sample is taken !

Sometimes I get asked for recent STD test if it’s a bareback meet, again don’t care less and would show the results of one. "

I must b a total cunt then! Cos if I got asked I would decline!

""Arrange a meet", she says.

"How about these guys?", I say.

"Sure," she replies, "Tell them they need to do a rapid flow test beforehand..."

So what's everyone's thoughts on this? Would you be happy to oblige for a fun and safe meet or just say, "well f*@k off then!"? "

Would you object to someone saying please make sure you bring condoms guys?

You don’t know the health concerns that person has or indeed the family they have surrounding them.

I’d just presume it’s an important point for them and respect it

I wouldnt bother meeting them. But totally fine for them to ask for it, if that's their wish.

"Entirely fair enough… I ask too. And test beforehand.

If someone is stupid enough to wilfully ignore Covid entirely and they’re not testing as a matter of course anyway, then they are absolutely not someone I’d want to fuck. "

People can ask for what they want. People can either accept or decline.

It’s not complicated or controversial.

Absolutely nothing wrong with you declining. It’s your choice and that’s that. However if you a precious about it, declining like it’s a fucking badge of honour then yes you are a massive cunt.

Personally we're not bothered about testing. But if it makes you feel better it's your boundaries to set.

I’m cautious about the virus, having worked on Covid since the start. I think LFD testing is the way forward for me.

It’s not perfect - I’ve seen that myself, but it’ll be some help and give some level of reassurance.

Personally I wouldn’t do it.

It’s pointless, if someone really wants to meet they can just put water on the end anyway.

I know that’s what some people are doing I know to enable them to go to a event this weekend. Just incase so they can still go.

No, it’s their rules not yours, I wouldn’t be getting covid tested tho. I think that is a personal choice. I have to do it several times a week for work and no thank you for further prodding of the nostril region

"People are free to impose any stipulations they want and those they're considering are equally free to reject them. That's as it should be. We all have a choice."

This!

Absolutely, why would anyone refuse to do this?

Why are people meeting whilst still in the midst of a pandemic? Why do people have unprotected sex with strangers?

It always tickles me when people try and take some kind of moral high ground on a site where we leave morals at the door. It's akin to Lewis Hamilton chiding Valentino Rossi for riding too fast!
