OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

[Preston]

anyone in the know seen anything about whether older rapid tests are still working for new variants?

helluva sickness, rapid test negative. lost my sense of smell completely.

They work. They're just less sensitive than the ones you get in other countries because well...

I've known many folks who didn't test positive till days 3, 4, 5 of symptoms in the past few years.

Hope you feel better btw. Rest up.

You're in health care, correct?

Would you qualify for a PCR? Would you qualify for the anti-virals?

Worth a look IMO. Hope it's nothing serious.

@hockeylover I believe BG meant to tag you fyi. And no I believe she is not in healthcare at the moment.

 

[hockeylover]

Thanks! I'm not anymore.

It sounds like a bunch of people around here have gotten some sort thing that's knocked them on their ass lately so just something going around I guess. Still testing negative for Covid. Thanks for the well wishes, folks.

Wait is it a proxy or not? I'm confused. Thought it was the only thing really public facing that highlighted community transmission.
