LFTs

They fiddle the system Visgir1 and lie because they want to get into a venue that would be barred to them if their test was positive.

The whole system relies on trust; and, as we all know, there are lots of unscrupulous people around.

People who cheat like this; and people who do not get vaccinated are putting lives in danger and prolonging the pandemic.

Because they would have been refused entry.

Why lie? Beyond me

This is why the Boardmasters Festival at Newquay became a superspreading event. My granddaughter was there and she said that loads of people were borrowing each other's phones in order to get in.

5,000 people apparently caught Covid at the event including my granddaughter and her boyfriend who then spread it to her Mum and brother.

I agree its so easy to bypass the system but I would think everyone is very aware of the various dodges.

I was told about a group of lads who were doing something together. One of them tested negative so he did the test for all the others!

One of my step daughters is a computer programmer. Believe me, it’s possible.

Which is why I am against Covid Passports they are easy to manipulate which renders them worthless.

Absolutely. My grandson was telling me about his classmates fiddling the results so they could skip school.
Thousands of us have been aware of this so it has to be assumed that the powers that be know. Of course they do.

I think it would be difficult to falsify the bar-coded NHS covid pass (not described as 'passport'). All venues should therefore have the capacity to read the bar-code. If not, I wouldn't regard them as at all safe.

For the tech savvy nothing is impossible especially when there is money to be made…

They do work on trust, I think. I have only thought of this in connection with safety in venues, but my daughter was telling me about someone she manages who used a well known brown fizzy drink on the cartridge to simulate a positive test (apparently it worked ). Being slow on the uptake, I was still baffled by this, but it was so she could get time off work! She was caught, though, as you can't fiddle the PCR test, and when that came back negative the game was up.
