Since the start of first year I have been taking lateral flow tests twice a week. I have watched the number of Covid cases rise on the daily graph since school went back, and seen friend after friend test positive. Each time I test I wait for 30 minutes, thinking about all the people I have been close to in School. Three weeks ago I only had to wait for a minute. Two lines appeared and I knew I was now part of the statistics. Over 6,000 people tested positive the same day as me. I am now negative and the graph tells me that the number of cases in Scotland is decreasing every day. I hope that it will be zero soon and we wont need the graph any more.
