I've been doing LFTs for a while now and I can confirm the results are shown in the NHS app under:

Get your NHS COVID Pass
Event trials
View COVID-19 records

This shows the date/type for both vaccine jabs as well as LFT tests (which are shown individually. It doesn't show the cartridge number, for example, just the date, time and self-reported result.

How do you / test and trace know you've done the test properly at home?

They don't. They are relying on people being honest.

If you wanted to lie or fake it, then you can, but you would hope that people have more morality or sense than that, but given some of the stuff I have seen from the general public, nothing would surprise me sadly.

Given that this was very nearly an event taking place after the 'no restrictions' date before that was postponed, and will only be a week or so short of that new date anyway, I don't think it's going to make too much difference either way in the grand scheme of things. Hopefully everyone will play ball and great if it weeds out a few people with confirmed positive cases, but in reality with it being run under the ERP now it's not going to be any different to 'post restrictions', I imagine LFTs will be strongly advised/mandated in future when attending large events anyway.

That's why I'm amused by those 'boycotting' the event, this will be a preview of the new normal whether we like it or not.

What's honesty got to do with it? I asked how they knew you'd administered the test properly. The answer is they don't. Surely if this was anything other than a PR exercise you'd have to be tested at an authorised centre.

The first two words in the reply you got are "they" and "don't".

How is that 'apartheid' in any shape or form?
Social conditioning. You have to sign-up to the NHS Track and Trace Scheme. If something is so easy to get around as you are suggesting (I agree) then what safety value is it.

Im out, if you want to throw away your future freedoms and those of your kids, on your conscious be it.
You are absolutely on-target with this.

It is astonishing that so many people cannot see this for what it is - the thin end of a very significant wedge.

Pass the tin hats around…..

JFK was was shot by twenty gunmen
The moon landing was faked
The CIA blew up the Twin Towers


And now Track and Trace is being used to try to ensure a pandemic is understood…

You what now? The reply was about honesty and morals, my question was about the ability of people to be able to carry out a test correctly.

Exactly.

The population of this country (and many others) has been subjected to the most intense psychological terror messaging in.... well, probably ever.

People seem to have lost their ability to assess and understand risk and contextualise data.

99.8% survival rate. Even higher amongst those under 60.

I have had it - 10 days unable to sleep due to a very unpleasant cough.

It is not the Plague/Black Death/Ebola.

I have had it. Under 60, fit. Work from home, little contact with people.
Nine days in intensive care.
Obviously I didn't die - but it really is more than a bit of a cough.

The rapid tester has a control line on it to tell you if it has worked correctly. How accurate that is, I don’t know.

I suppose any test can fail or just not work properly.

The PCR tests you send off to be processed in a lab are apparently more accurate.

But in short, neither you nor the NHS will know if the test has been a 100% success.

Yet TV8 here isn’t going to FoS even though he has a ticket…

The vast majority are going and will take a simple test to do so. Who’s afraid of it again?

P.S you’re right it isn’t Ebola. Ebola didn’t spread globally and was an epidemic, not a pandemic. Covid-19 is/was worse.

Brilliant.

A thread that is supposed to be about how fantastic it is that FoS is taking place and how excited we are to be going has become yet another thread where the usual bunch of Billy Big bks have now railroaded it into yet another slanging match about COVID-19.

Seriously, just fk off to the many, many threads on this site at the moment where you can indulge in your pointless willy waving.

I am in a very bad place at the moment and the announcement that I will be able to go FoS is the only thing that I have to look forward to right now. It would be nice to be able to come on here and discuss it with like minded motor racing and motoring enthusiasts without a bunch of powerfully built company director, dip st, Red Bull drinking, aholes filling it up with the very subject matter that going to Goodwood for two days is going to allow me to forget.

Seriously. fk off.

On that note, one of my favourite little moments each year is walking into the lower paddocks first thing and hearing and smelling those glorious pre-war monsters fire up. Taking a stroll across the Cartier Style et Luxe lawn and marvelling at the millions of pounds worth of metal not roped off etc.

I had a genuine emotional moment one year, towards the top of the hill in perfect sync: an F1 car screaming up the hill, a group B monster singing around the hairpin at the bottom of the rally stage and the Red Arrows overhead. Complete and utter overwhelming assault on the senses, not another place in the world you could experience all that at once.

Would you like to explain that to the widow of my friend, who died of COVID a year ago. I’m sure she will be consoled by the fact that it wasn’t a serious illness

Would it be too much to get back to the subject…festival of speed. No one doubts that there have been unbelievable amount of deaths as my own mother was in the covid number but surely aren’t we actually grateful to think that with a small amount of effort using modern technology and brilliant work on vaccines that the excellent event is going to take place. Spare a big thought for all the work that’s been going on physically and planning to create an event that few imagined was going to happen. If anyone is not happy with the simple legislation to obtain entry then I suggest they accept a refund option which I believe will be available.
I’m marshalling there and in my mind I’m very grateful to all that’s being done to run the event. Maybe later in the year those that were “uncertain “ about it may think again.
But then what do I know.

Thank you for being a Marshall, another thing we need for events like this to go ahead and those of us looking forward to the event to be thankful for.
