I woke up yesterday with a high temperature and throwing up. It occurred to me last night these could be covid symptoms since I was still coughing after the throwing up had stopped. So, online to order a covid test.
Filled in the (endless) form, they had my name, address, home phone number, mobile number, nhs number, ni number and double checked my postcode. Did I get a test? No. They 'couldn't electronically identify' me.
For the love of fuzzy ducks, what more do they want ? Fingerprints? Iris scan?
I've tried the phone number, and all I get from then is if I can't pass the electronic id I have to attend a local test centre.
I can't get to the local testing station without going on public transport, and even then they don't accept you if you don't drive up in a car. I offered to hijack a bus if they'd lend me a gun, but that didn't go down well.
I give up. I may or may not be transmitting covid. The nhs/government won't let me find out.

why am I not surprised. Could your GP practice help at all? Or contact your local council & they can order you a test?
