But matt hancock, in his hand-crafted reply to me stresses
'I want to assure you that I continue to put all of my efforts as Health Secretary, and as your MP, into stopping the devastating effects of coronavirus so that we can get life back to normal as soon as possible.'
And who am I to doubt him? |  |

In the linked document from Bristol University, under the section "How accurate are test results" it says the false negatives were between 2% and 29% based on tests that were re-tested as positive, and that this was an underestimate of the true rate.
So why does the news article say up to 20% when the source says up to 29% and likely to be an underestimate? |  |

I do wonder about how accurate the home testing is. Having read Illinoisblue's experience I'm 100% certain if I had to do it myself I wouldn't shove it up high enough. How would you know how far up it goes, as soon as it felt a bit uncomfortable I'd stop...but then again just reading his post made me wince so maybe I'm just a wimp. |  |

It's not hugely surprising given that men if performed correctly, the hospital was are thought to deliver 'false negatives' 20% of the time, |  |
