It ain't the flu, folks: flu test positivity is currently at 0.87% but COVID test positivity is currently at 13.4%. If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, kindly test yourself for COVID and wear a mask at least until the symptoms resolve. Please and thank you.

@DataDrivenMD well, the problem (as I see it) is that the tests seems be less reliable this time around. We were down with 'something' for over a week- fatigue, body aches, coughing - but never test positive. Treated it the same way - quarantined, then masking when out. But that really sucks, because it is very unlikely that you can get Paxlovid (which I'm sure would have helped) without a positive test ;(

@Cajun_cheechako @DataDrivenMD same. Are the tests working for the new variants?

@Gstpulldn Excellent question! And, I suppose the few home tests we have left probably just need to hit the bin ;(
