I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother. It makes me very angry to think about the hundreds of thousands of ppl who’ve passed away alone in hospitals because of these draconian Covid policies. Ppl need to pay for this someday.

The liars are the anti-vaxxer websites who are spreading false information designed to increase traffic to their websites resulting in increased revenue.
There are literally hundreds of credible websites like the one I linked to that all provide the same information. The old test could test for flu and for covid but not at the same time. He could only test for one or the other. If you ran a flu test, it would only look for flu. It would not tell you whether you had covid since it was only testing for flu. The same for covid. This test was withdrawn, not for inaccuracies but for efficiency. The new test can test for flu and for covid at the same time.
BTW, can you provide a link from the CDC, not some random anti-vaxxer website, where the CDC says the test cannot differentiate between flu and covid?
The results showed that I had not had the ‘vid.
Thank you, sorry to hear that. I’m sure you would have liked to hear you had antibodies.
"Do you have a source for your claim? I am almost certain the CDC never made such a statement. I’m going to make a wild guess that your assertion based on a very cursory reading of a purposefully misleading article published by Gateway Pundit or some similar clickbait news source."
| 08/02/2021: Lab Alert: Clarifications about the Retirement of the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel "CDC is retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized hundreds of other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests, many of which are now higher throughput or can test for more than one illness at a time." "CDC is recommending that laboratories that routinely conduct influenza testing as well as COVID-19 testing, such as public health laboratories, consider transitioning to a test that can generate a result for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2, rather than running separate tests for each virus." |
Get bent, Chinese unicorn trollololol.
Thank you so much. It is meaningful to have heartfelt condolences.
Dumb joke that fell flat.
;)

***Why are you trying to send a fellow freeper to go play fetch if you are already stipulating the facts themselves?
Yes. Daughter brought it, we used the home test. She was positive on the home test.
She had minor symptoms, sore throat.
We only had the one home test and no more were available. Mom/grandma went and got PCR test as did my nephew. Both positive.
I had a little runny nose and a little flu like ache. Very little. My mom the same. No fevers. My son had the worst which didn’t bother him, really, and he did get a low fever.
But it came and went quick.
Honestly if we hadn’t used that first home test no one would have thought anything about it.
“There is also some speculation that Omicron is triggering other illnesses or conditions to become more severe.”
I’ll vouch for that. My own in remission illness sprang back to life about a month ago and the trigger may well have been omicron. I had been experiencing something like this:
“The second most common is upper-abdominal or epigastric (the area right below your ribs) pain”
That’s a GI symptom of covid. I’ve never had an odd pain like that before; it went on for about a week and soon after I began to seeing familiar signs of my old pal nephrotic syndrome. And it indeed is back. Virus infections as well as vaccines are suspected triggers of this disease. You just never know what will make it angry.
