Dang tests are useless.

[Jonty30]

I think I got covid. *Cough cough.
Ack!
Hack!

[PGR88]

And according to what some have told me - the test kit you may have saved from 2021 is now useless - either chemically degraded, or rather, the virus has mutated so much, its far less accurate.

“He immediately went to the doctor to get medication”....

What used to be a cold or flu has idiots going to doctor immediately for drugs...

[NWFree]

I wonder if the meds to treat Covid are any good? (Not the vax). After you already have it to treat the symptoms there’s stuff on the market

[V_TWIN]

The way I remember it covid tests couldn’t tell the difference between covid and the flu.

My buddy who is a hypochondriac the tests three times when he was sick. He just knew he had covid. Finally the third test came back positive for covid. He finally relaxed knowing he had it.

So you may have a COVID clinical infection because you are presenting with cough, runny nose, body aches and a low fever?

So?

[mewzilla]

They weren’t useless.

Not to Deep State.

Deep State found those tests very useful.

But their utility had zero to do with protecting public health.

I have some old test kits that my kids sent to me back in 2021. If we ever get a CoVid museum, maybe future generations could look at them, and wonder how it was that we ever got so far off course.

[HYPOCRACY]

If you have no symptoms, you likely have Covid. Check yourself into a hospital for a booster.

[rktman]

I think we have 7 double test kits in the med cabinet. Only $200/ea.

[9YearLurker]

Poor Murti isn’t much of a critical thinker.

And Dr. Scott Miscovich no doubt has blood on his hands.

[C210N]

Just take a test for the flu, and call it even.

[READINABLUESTATE]

I was waiting for a prescription to be filled this weekend and overheard two people within ten minutes asking for test kits.
They were told the store had been out of them for weeks.

“He immediately went to the doctor to get medication.”

WHAT medication? I’ve had it twice and tried the very expensive Paxlovid twice. It wasn’t any magic panacea or cure-all.

[sjmjax]

I have a drawer full. So do many others I know. Unscrupulous companies mailed them out repeatedly and billed your Medicare account. Since there was no copay, nobody cared including Medicare.

[Nervous Tick]

Think you have COVID a cold? Good luck finding a test kit Avoid infecting others as common courtesy and eat some chicken soup; you'll get over it in a week.

(My momma taught me that when I was, like, five years old.)

For $20 you can be tested for the COVID-1984 antibodies at just about any pharmacy.

The Red Cross used to give you your antibody results when you gave blood, but they were forced to stop. That’s how I learned I have the antibodies. I know from Gerbes pharmacy that I still have them.

[ducttape45]

That may be, but I got some that are “supposedly” good until the end of the year. We’ll see.
