| At-home COVID test kits: Where to buy and how to use them |
| 2022-09-08 |
| [NYP] The COVID-19 pandemic is like a roller-coaster. One minute we see the light at the end of the tunnel and the next thing we know, there are reports of a brand new variant. Over the last two and half years, your visits to local urgent cares have likely quadrupled, but to stay safe, consistent testing (when presented with any symptoms) is, unfortunately, a reality we’re probably dealing with for the foreseeable future. The good news? You have options. Instead of waiting on testing center lines for hours on end, people are turning to at-home COVID tests that they can use in the comfort of their own homes. According to the CDC, COVID-19 self-tests — also known as at-home tests or over-the-counter (OTC) tests — are one of many risk-reduction measures, along with vaccination, masking and physical distancing, that protects you and others from the spread of COVID-19. |

| #7 IIRC, 50% accuracy and days after onset results - why bother? |

| #5 Meanwhile, China tests its entire population every 72 hours. With a security alert on their phone, where they have 10 minutes to take a video of themself inside their home performing a test? Wait a second..... Now, are there any tests/brands not made in china? Now, at about 20 weeks to flatten the curve, my kids came down with the same bug, likely a Back to School Flu because we went back to school. One tested positive for a covid, one tested negative. Either way, that is a 50% fail on an admittedly small sample, 2/4. Wife tested negative after enough exposure, ran out of tests because positive case was double tested. Wife and I showed nothing sign wise, so that is my conclusion for it being a B2S Flu. Now, the positive one, I wouldn't put past to have heard the one simple trick kids were using to test positive and get out of school. |

| #4 NOTE TO ALL: If you are pundering joining a classaction lawsuit against those invloved. Remember you likely already received 2 check settlements from the US Gov. In short to them, your physical, mental, emotional distress and loss of income to them, was worth less than $5,000.00 |
