@tithonium Yes and yes. And most of the COVID conscious community here uses the #Metrix as well. Easy to use (though slightly more fiddly than the other), but definitely good.

A practical question which I'm trying to think through:

Supposing you might have been exposed to covid, and you have access to NAAT testing like #Pluslife or #Metrix.

How many days after the possible exposure would you expect to see a positive result if you'd caught it?

From the diagram in this paper, it looks as though for this cohort, a negative test on day 3 would mean you _hadn't_ caught it.

Thoughts welcome!

In addition to this knowledge, my appeal is to protect you & yours:

Wear an #N95 respirator around indoor and outdoor crowds.

Clean your indoor air in each room with #HEPA filters or make your own #CorsiRosenthalBox.

Get your non-MRNA #Novavax shot or an #MRNA. I’ve had both. I have experienced far fewer side effects from Novavax.

Test often with #Metrix or #CueHealth since they are the most reliable & accurate.

Use #FarUV lights in each room.

Mein europäisches Allstar-Team der frßhen 80er ist jetzt komplett:

#Fluke 8020A (Made in Holland, designed in USA)
#NORMA D1216 (Made in Austria)
#Metrix MX562 (Made in France)

...jaja, einen Vogel muss man halt haben. Aber hab noch einiges dazugelernt durchs reparieren und restaurieren von den Dingern und es macht spaß.

#Metrix MX 562 restaurieren und wieder zum Laufen bekommen: ✅

Ein Gerät mit sehr interessanten Designmerkmalen. Die relative Kompaktheit trotz THT-Bestßckung und 2-lagiger Platine wurde scheinbar durch "kreative" Bestßckung und Ideenreichtum ausgeglichen.

Made in France. Tolles Gerät. Typisch franzÜsisch: Alles geschwungen, sogar die Platine. :-)

Top of the flops: is streaming rendering the charts obsolete?

Record companies might disagree, but exclusives, eligibility algorithms, bundling and ‘streaming farms’ are threatening to ruin the Top 40
