And basically everyone, there is no such thing as a false positive, positive is positive is contagious is harmful to others if not yourself #rat #covid #rapidantigentest #covidisnotover #longcovid #longcovidkids

@elizabethtasker It is interesting. Had a similar result. Took 5 days of Paxlovid. Had clear, but faint results for the first three days and strong control lines. Then it went negative for two days, again strong control line. Then I got moderate "head cold" symptoms mostly sinus congestion and the Covid test went bright magenta with the control line almost non-existent. That lasted for a week before symptoms faded and eventually the positives did too.

Helpful article from the New York Times:
Do Rapid Antigen #COVID Tests Still Work?
https://buff.ly/3XHCvxj

Yes, if you use them correctly and repeat tests after 48 hours.

Shows when when you are contagious.

Still accurate with newer variants.

If negative test and higher risk, get a PCR test.

Do Rapid Covid Tests Still Work?

They can result in false negatives, but they remain a valuable tool in stopping the spread of Covid-19. Here’s how to use them most effectively.

New study:
With rapid antigen tests, it is best to test people with

symptomatic COVID infections twice 48 hours apart (93.4% sensitivity)

asymptomatic COVID three times at 48 hour intervals to get 79% sensitivity.

#wtf #covid
@elektra (my lovely Mrs) just tested positive with a #RAT 15 days after first testing positive. She did 2 rats before returning to work, she was clear. I did one on Monday I was too.

We've got some great advice from you good peeps so far about #LongCovid. How is this possible? Is it a reinfection? Different strain? Or is it possible for the virus to reassert itself?

Edit: I'm positive too, after testing negative on Monday. 🤦

Attention #Melbourne

Anyone in the Melbourne Metro Area in need of a Rapid Antigen Test, please slide into my DMs! I have enough supply to do daily tests for 10 people for 2 years and my supply keeps growing (government provided tests).

I will happily give you as many tests as you need free of charge (just pay postage).

So does anyone know if it invalidates the rapid test if your swab picks up a GIANT BOOGER? #RapidAntigenTest #covidtest #covidprecautions
