If you have a cold and test negative for COVID you are not in the clear. Tests take a while to turn positive. Meanwhile you are spreading COVID to family and friends. Mask up if you have any symptoms. This virus is just evil.

A rapid test importer landed an estimated $2 billion in federal contracts in 2021 and 2022, despite giving regulators incomplete data about its product’s accuracy, Global News has found. A year-long investigation into federal procurement revealed that BTNX, a small rapid test supplier based outside Toronto, deleted dozens of specimens, or samples, from a study it submitted to Health Canada. That evaluation showed how well the company’s test detected COVID-19. The deletions made BTNX’s test appear more reliable and sensitive than it really was, according to researchers Global News consulted. The device could detect the virus in users who were the most contagious, but results from leading regulators’ evaluation programs indicate BTNX’s test was much less dependable in all other cases.

If you've got old covid tests, make sure you visit the fda's website to check if the expiration date got extended!
Lots of brands were able to prove after initial release that their shelf life was longer than expected, so even some that I have that are on the older side ended up still lasting into early next year.
Edit: I've heard that tumblr is weird about posts w links so i reblogged with a link to the website directly if you want to use that as well!

PSA with sick season upon us: your local library might have free covid tests if you need them since the govt isn't giving them out free anymore. Idk why, but we have em so other libraries might too.

COVID testing seems to be a thing of the past. Some people are positive for 14 days. Yet are back in public after 5 days or less. We have failed.

"In California, a person who tests positive for Covid and has no symptoms does not need to isolate, according to new state health guidelines. People who test positive and have mild symptoms, meanwhile, can end isolation once their symptoms improve and they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without medication — even if that point arrives in less than five days."
Petition to Demand California Reinstate Isolation Guidelines for ALL Positive SARS-2 Cases:

New methods for testing need to be standardized, well communicated and disseminated. These posts describe testing approaches that are experimental and still, may be of interest and or benefit so I decided to share.
*Note: Please continue to test. And try to request PCR if possible. Getting a record of your illness will be important for your health records and contact tracing. If you experience disability as a result of your infection. Covid is still here, and to the best of our ability we must try to record, notify, trace, research, treat and find treatments, and prevent it's spread. The importance of this has not waned and neither has the virus.*
Be thoughtful, wise, responsible and protect your health and others.
