My daughter did the home test after she was advised by someone he had tested positive. This about 5 hours before she was supposed to come for Christmas Eve feast I had prepared. The test was negative then she tried again a few hours later and was positive. So she didn’t come. The next morning she took another test and it was negative again. So she came for Christmas Day. The tests are just another confusing item they’ve thrown at us.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
My roommate has Covid, with flu-like symptoms. I showed up to volunteer down the street, they had me take the Covid Home Test and it showed up negative.
I probably didn’t test precisely correct, so it coulda been a false negative. But since I had Covid well before there were “vaxes” for it, I have some natural immunity.
The way I look at it, if I were headed to be with family and tested negative for Covid then I woulda showed up and loudly proclaimed I tested neg. If they all come down with a 99.6% survivability disease then that’s on the testers, not me.
A disease with 99.6% survivability is NOT a pandemic.
Elon Musk had four tests taken in one sitting by the same person and two came up positive and two came up negative.
