https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971221006548 We tested various soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, including sparkling water, directly on the Abott Panbio COVID-19 Ag Lateral Flow Test Cassette to determine whether they could confound a positive test result. We observed that all soft drinks (Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Fanta-Orange, Orange soft drink), energy drink (Red Bull), alcoholic beverages (vodka, whiskey, and brandy), commercially bottled mineral water, and carbonated mineral water caused the appearance of a red test line (Figure 1). However, when equal volumes of the buffer and the respective beverages are mixed, there are no false-positive test lines
I have to say, this is the first time I’ve ever had to quarantine for a regular winter cold. I know a lot of people that have also had to quarantine just because the LF test showed a positive result for a sniffle & cough. The world truly has gone completely mad. I certainly won’t be doing a LF test the next time I get a cold, as I work for myself. I’ll just exercise more caution if I have to go out, as I have been doing in all the years long before this came along.
When I’ve got symptoms, I’ll not be getting near anyone, and will keep it contained using my own discretion, just like I have done all my life.
SWMBO went to a funeral this morning. I went climbing. I may go to Ducati Manchester tomorrow as I’d like to find out what’s going on with my Scrambler and also want to sort out delivery of the Bayliss etc
