Is everyone doing LFT twice a week?

I haven't been doing LFTs as I almost never go anywhere.
However, I've been told I should do them twice weekly anyway.

Are you all doing them? And registering the results?

I have done one daily since Sunday, because I have had medical appointments and I will do another one tomorrow to keep those who treat me safe. That's the first thing I get asked at clinics.
It's no big deal.

I only do them when required to do them. I certainly do not do them unless it is requested.

Me too. I rarely go anywhere other than occasionally to the village post office or if walking the dog, so absolutely no point.
I did do a PCR 6 weeks ago when I got this damn cough, it was negative.
I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to do so regularly!

Mini moon me too I’m a nurse and liver function test came to mind too ! How about DNR ? oh let’s not be so beak and go there !
My question is do you trust these rapid tests?
I’ve just ordered a box of 25 at 11$ each I’m in Canada and the government charges 40$ at the pharmacy - ludicrous !
I want to use for my extended family who are vaccinated but not careful and out everywhere these days on the day they show up at my house for dinner .
Should I trust the results and feel safe ?
