Free Quick Covid Test

[Ramesis]

Free test, free shots and soon masks maybe now that they are finally admitting cloth masks are useless and the paper ones almost just as much but N95 is what we should have be using..for the last 2 years..

Pretty sure our tax dollars cover all this free stuff..if not they will print it out of thin air like they do for most things these days

Multiple.. simply type in multiple covid test different results. The clinical test is thought to be 70% to 90% accurate. 70 to 90? They really don't know. We do know you can test multiple times at once and get different results. You'll find that there too.
We also know there is no vaccine against covid. You can get covid no matter what.... the best thing is to keep a distance.

Even distance is not really for sure as when my wife had it, she laid her head on my shoulder the whole time were in the waiting room to be tested. They took up back to a room together to be tested. She had fever and I had no symptoms. She was positive and I was negative. She felt bad one day with fever and that is all. I never did get covid and I have never had it. I do not wear a mask and I don't get in folks face.... of course I never did before either.

When the gov asks the public to test themselves for a "pandemic " which has shut down the global economy..those of us with more than half a brain wonder WTH? Why? Who can take the stats from those test results seriously?

It's getting stranger by the day..

For 'most'...hmm.

If you had 10 skittles and 2 of 10 would kill you, would you eat the skittles?

Yes can't go wrong with skittles.

And what about marijuana protecting us all?

Stick with your doctors for the test. My wife and 2 daughters went to rapid test site and my son also . I went the same day they di their rapid test they all came back negative. Now the same test I had done via my doc they tested me for the Flu xs2 and Covid. The Covid test came back positive. Family did the required quarantine at home since I was positive Their School said as long as no symptoms ya can return. My son who already missed half the year stayed him in his best with very limited  contact with me since I slept for 2 days straight. He started with the symptoms along with his older Sister they both came back positive but with different symptoms. The rapid test does not go in far enough to get good boogie samples only was to see if your Positive or not is go to your Doctor or Urgent care they run the test longer and usually take 2 days for results. The downfall is if you do test Postitve they will not retest you

  Because your still carrying the Covid Eve. Tho your not spreAding it after the 5 or 10 days quarantine period but it can stay in your system up to 3 month. I did the Pfizer  vaccine by choice due to my heart issue and still got Covid if I did not get it I would not be typing this long message cause I would probably be on a ventilator right now


Just thought I would share this info

N95 mask are the only mask that will help to stop spread this but those mask should also goto first responders first because every year we had to be fit tested for the

Glad you are feeling better Molsman

You may or may not have ended up on a respiratory..I didn't and I have heart listed comorbidities for this thing...depends on other things too like BMI

I don't think the type of mask will matter for many as to how effective they are as many have them below their noses, it falls off their face while talking and they constantly mess with it on their faces which results in more hand to face contact than not wearing a mask at all..and those are the adults ... forget the average child...

Not to mention the general public are not trained medical professionals who know how to properly wear and use a mask..

It seems just more theater to me

Well it is not rocket science to wear a mask.

The thing that never made sense to me was...OK everyone wear one, but then you take it off and put it in your pocket (therefore touching it with your hands). Then you put it back on when you get up to leave.

Of course, these masks are designed to be single use in the medical field, but early on you couldn't buy any and if you could they were like $2.50 a piece. So nobody is using them as they were designed, not because they didn't know how, but because they couldn't. Even today I still wear it til it starts to fray.


As time goes on it is understandable for things to change as knowledge grows, but I've also seen things seem to make less and less sense.

As a musician in my night job the bands I am in use the home tests weekly.

I can report that one member of a band in the last month, who used the home test, did find she was positive. 

Then she went to CVS for to do their COVID test and it was also positive, i.e. she got COVID.  Because of the heads-up using the at-home test, she ended up not infecting the rest of the band.

Troll?

Just stating with the failed accuracy of these things you better do 2 or 3 and average your results to increase the accuracy of these at home tests/guesses...

I can only imagine the average yahoo attempt at this and then trusting its results...

And as omicron is a mild flu for most..why test at all?

Just stay home for a week....like you would pre 2020

Eagler

it's a mild flu for most but not for everybody. lots of people end up in hospitals or dead.

soon death toll will be 1 out of every 350 Americans. plus millions more having problems for life.  that's why you test.

With or from

The numbers are so screwed now no one will ever know

If omicron was half as deadly as delta I could somewhat understand the push for masks and tests but it is not

I think if you are healthy catching it would be the best thing for prevention of catching a more serious variant if one were to come along in the future..can't be any worse than the 3 shots we have now that doesn't stop infection or spread

Natural immunity equals zero dollars .. the road we are on now is big $$$$ for many

Personally I think tests and masks should be a personal choice/expense and not something paid for by our taxes
