I live in the US, and I for the price of 11 standard consumer rapid covid tests (at the lowest price), I got 25 four-in-one rapid tests (covid, influenza a, influenza b, and RSV). Including the $40 shipping cost. (That works out to $4.40 per test btw)
Tumblr media
The kind I got don't have English instructions, oops. Should have checked that.
But I highly recommend these.
(Mine don't expire until October 2025)
You can buy in low numbers, too. I just decided to get enough for a year.

A majority of people in the United States continue to support a mask requirement for people traveling on airplanes and other shared transportation, a poll finds. A ruling by a federal judge has put the government’s transportation mask mandate on hold.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that despite opposition to that requirement that included verbal abuse and physical violence against flight attendants, 56% of those surveyed favor requiring people on planes, trains and public transportation to wear masks, compared with 24% opposed and 20% who say they are neither in favor nor opposed.
Interviews for the poll were conducted last Thursday to Monday, shortly before a federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate on airplanes and mass transit. Airlines and airports immediately scrapped their requirements that passengers wear face coverings.

The Transportation Security Administration stopped enforcing the mask requirement, and the Justice Department announced on Tuesday that it will not appeal the ruling unless the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determines it’s still necessary. The CDC said Wednesday that it continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings and was assessing the need for a mask requirement in those settings.
The poll shows a wide partisan divide on the issue. Among Democrats, 80% favor and just 5% oppose the requirement. Among Republicans, 45% are opposed compared with 33% in favor, with 22% saying neither.

Imma keep wearing my mask.
Not only do I have immunocompromised loved ones, but I’m not taking the risk of knowing that someone could die or potentially get very sick and not protecting them anyway.

Well a patient just came in without a mask for the upteenth time and her excuse this time was "well the mandate is gone from planes and stuff."
That decision was made by someone who doesn't know what powers the CDC is allowed. Also, this is a goddamn doctor's office.
Put on the fucking mask.

The worst thing about being sick, for me, is that it hobbles my frenetic activity and forces me to confront just how loud my brain is. Being sick is a game where I'm desperately trying to find long series to binge one right after the other so that I don't get upset that it's the only thing I can do, but eventually the novelty of binging a show wears off and it becomes its own kind of torture. The show starts to lose its hold and my mind starts wandering and then I'm just crawling out of my skin while simultaneously too weak to stand.

What a cowardly thing to do to approach me while I’m on the clock (and can’t do anything because I don’t want to lose my job over some ignorant stranger) at work and harass me about why I’m wearing a mask.

the reason conservatives in the US (and the UK lbr) are so fucking scary rn is because they’ve seen the polls and surveys and votes, they KNOW they’re severely outnumbered by people with some damn sense. so they’re using their already-secured power to utterly light everything on fire to punish civilians for disagreeing with their view of the world. all the anti-voting legislature, all the anti-trans laws, all the panic about “CRT” in schools... they’re cornered panicky animals. It makes them dangerous and we need to handle them, yes. But it’s also good to remember they’re all scared little pieces of shit.

"In the 1800s, doctors adopted handwashing to prevent the spread of germs. After the AIDS crisis, health care workers started to wear more gloves. Covid has taught us we should now employ masks more widely, writes Abdullah Shihipar."
