Hanneke Aug 2023 6:54pm, 15 Aug 2023 108,575 posts	0 Hanneke Agreed! I found it most bizarre but I got a letter a few months ago, followed by a box of tests. It is a normal box of test at home tests with no facility to send them back. Rather odd to send someone so immunocompromised they need to test daily out of the safety of their home to post such things a 20 mile round trip away while I cannot even drive 🙄 bizarre is the word!
