    I thought that, but Grimsby said they didn't bother testing everyone as they were advised it would make no difference. All very odd.

    If they are classed as close contacts then a negative test doesn’t remove the need to isolate for 14 days as they may have just got it and it wouldn’t show on the test yet

    Spalding United are part time team that most likely have no more than 2 evening trading sessions a week. The game time may be useful in his development but if he is training so little it undoes that benefit so almost certainly will be training with Grimsby

    Well it will end - same as last season. PPG.

    Can’t see how they can allow Plymouth game to go ahead with 2 positive tests and not are game but probably not

    The way things are going, quite a few of the City squad will be eligible for a free bus pass by the time everything gets back to normal!

    I suspect they don't want to pay for it or they can't afford it and have covered it up to their fans by saying they were advised against doing so. Maybe would've got away with it if Stevenage and Plymouth hadn't been give the all clear to play.

    I'm not sure tbh. As we have seen with Zlatan testing isn’t all that accurate. He tested negative on a test one day, positive the next despite having limited contact with others.

    Or look at tennis. At the US Open Paire tested negative one day. Despite not going outside the bubble he tested positive the next. A few days later he tested negative again. He then went over to play in Hamburg, tested negative one day, positive the next. He has now a few days later tested negative for the French Open.

    So you have to wonder if 3 have failed what in reality is the actual number? And does not playing it safe risk now infecting city and making the situation across the league worse.

    It’s certainly not as obvious choice as some would make out as you would think if it became a wide scale problem that’s the league done so calling off a few matches might be the safer option if they want the league to ultimately be completed

    the thing with Zlatan is he may have caught it the day of test one and still tested negative if it wasn’t fully in his system. This is why a negative test doesn’t mean people can leave quarantine or isolation. They need to stay the full 14 days.

    A negative test isn’t a guarantee that you don’t have it, they have always said that. You would need a number of negatives with no contact with anyone between them all to be sure you were totally clear

    Thats my point though about it being unreliable. By all accounts it can take upto 3 weeks to have enough antibodies to test positive and some people (like the tennis player Paire) can actually be so borderline when it comes to testing positive that things like very minor differences in the application of the test can change the outcome. There could be multiple ones in the Stevenage squad today with it who now infect city players

    That's blood antibody testing in a lab. It takes too long to develop antibodies at 2-3 weeks and they fade, too, so you can test negative again after a couple of months. There's also quick blood testing where they treat a drop of blood on a testing strip with three bars but apparently that gives false positives for other cold bugs so it seems to have mostly been dropped. You could not use either of them in football. Football is using PCR/swab testing which misses around 30% of infections as false negatives, though that varies depending on how long you have had the virus. It also has 1% false positives. That's why they usually test a positive again to confirm it's not false.
