They can give false readings after that length of time. You check it at ten/fifteen minutes, and that's the reading you go by.

y flu.

Take two nurses and go to bed.

"Do not read test results before 15 minutes or after 30 minutes. Results read before 15 minutes or after 30 minutes may lead to a false positive, false negative, or invalid result. Keep testing kit and kit components away from children and pets before and after use. Avoid contact with your eyes or mouth."

Aussie - it’s quite clear to me what all this means.

1. Hop into bed with a cuppa and watch something on TV.

2. Give yourself permission to take a break.

3. Don’t worry about your sub forum - I’ll Mod it for you...just for the next few days of course.

See how helpful I can be?? 😇

Lisa Jones, I could never impose on your time like that.

After all, you already have your hands full with a lefty Husband who falls over with a man flu, two brats, all that laundry, gardening, chatting with neighbours, choko growing, meal 'prepping,' Zoom meetings, refinancing the empire, buying real estate and condemning anything Albanese does, including saying that Israel has every right to defend itself.

You are way too busy.
