  1. In other exciting things in today's mail, we received over 300 covid rapid tests from a government surplus program!

    I'm currently working with a few friends to get these out where they can do some good.

    If you're in the #Pittsburgh area and need some free covid tests, or can help with distribution, please send me a DM to coordinate.

  2. This fancy new Covid/Flu A/Flu B/RSV test has very detailed Directions For Use, but they omit a significant point: at what stage of proceedings to insert stick in nose. Maybe they just assume we all know the drill by now.
    There is a separate section titled Specimen Collection and Preparation which says "For nasopharyngeal swab completely insert the sterilized swab supplied in this kit into the nasal basin" accompanied by a diagram less than two centimetres square.
    The sterilized swab provided is 15cm long and, not being a sword-swallower by profession (a humble wordsmith I), I did not completely insert it into my nasal basin, which ought to be more grateful than it feels.

  5. Negative, Babie

    That looks like a negative test to me, babie! Yes! No Covid for me! As expected, whatever this asshole of a bug is, it’s likely just a cold. Now pardon me while I blow my nose and sneeze and cough, all at the same time.

  9. Here's a picture I took today of my main doctor in full Contagion gear. He's seen every Covid patient on the mountain where I live for the past 4 years. He said he only got Covid once and it was from a cruise. The irony is that he's willing to wear this at the office but not on the ship. 🛳️

  11. @blogwart Ich hänge mich da mal mit dran. Interessiert mich auch.

    Oder kann man inzwischen alles am Markt kaufen?

    Manchmal habe ich ohnehin den Eindruck, die Tests kämen alle aus einer Handvoll Fabriken und die ganzen Marken wären nur unterschiedliche Verpackungen der Vermarkter 🤔

  13. Good info on #covid #covidtest ... I keep both on PCR and RAT on hand, as it's good to know so you can start Paxlovid within the timeframe to use #PCR over #RAT, but once symptoms start isolate regardless and up precautions to reduce household spread risks, and I always #mask around other households. Good to be prepared with a new variant and talks of summer surge especially.

  17. For my USA followers - an #MEAction article on the NIH "Home Test To Treat" program:

    "Acute COVID-19 treatment and testing is unfortunately becoming harder and harder to access with the U.S. government public health emergency having been declared ended. The Home Test To Treat pilot program is a way to fill that gap in an accessible and equitable way."

  21. The ubiquitous lime green COVID tests may not be as accurate as first believed. There are allegations that the supplier may have excluded important test data when submitting to Health Canada.

    Its poor efficacy on medium & low viral loads has led to experts warning people to only trust it if it provides a positive reading but don't trust it if it provides a negative reading.

  23. Negative #COVIDTest as expected.

    What an annoyance, but a cold has enough in common with mild COVID-19 that I have to do it, even when I'm pretty sure it's not #COVID19. 🤷‍♂️

    Wow. This seems sort of amazing. How come I've never heard of this or seen it covered in the news? Thanks for sharing.
