Think you have Omicron but keep testing negative? An expert says to trust your gut: ‘If you feel confident you have COVID, you probably have COVID’

The at-home test says you’re COVID negative, but your body says you’re positive—so very positive.

What (or whom) to believe?

No, your body isn’t gaslighting you. If you’re certain you’re COVID positive, you probably are—regardless of what the test says, Dr. Stuart Ray, vice chair of medicine for data integrity and analytics at Johns Hopkins’ Department of Medicine, told Fortune on Tuesday.

“It’s a funny situation when you’re confronted with a big surge of infections,” Ray said, referencing the fact that in many areas of the U.S., COVID levels are at or near record highs—as evidenced by levels of the virus in wastewater, as opposed to formal testing

Everything is always all about “the current thing”.

And the narrative is always set by the liberal media.

Remember in 2020 when Gov Mike Dewine tested positive and hours later negative?

The press dropped the story very quickly. That should have told us a lot right then. But...it got covered up with excuses.

This is what hypochondriacs do. At their core, they are cowards ... and cowards are never to be feared.

This is what America -- and especially tens of millions of American "men" -- has become: A nation of hypochondriacs ... modern-day Howard Hugheses.

We got tested(nasal swabs) prior to surgical procedures and were negative. No blood tests to check though. Don’t really care. We did receive the “free” test kits in the mail. I figure we paid for them and if I decide they go straight to the land fill, at least it’s my choice. LOL!🚫😷💉

I was confident I didn’t have it and kept testing positive with one drop. Messed up ChiCom swabbing system I assume.

I never received the “free” covid tests.....just as well, I’d have done what you will probably do anyway.

I dodged having to get the mandatory covid shot because your a federal government employee by just a few scant months....boy talk about hearing a bullet wizz by......sheesh.

Test positive but no symptoms? Covid.

Test negative but with symptoms? Covid.

Trust The Science. Not.

This is the takeaway for me. I doubt that trust or confidence in the medical industrial complex has ever been damaged like it has with the coof. Thank you Dhimmicrats.

COVID the first plague in history where you have to believe you have it to have it.

If you think you need a ballot drop box, then you probably need one.

That’s what this is all about. They need to convince us all that we’ve got Covid instead of a summer cold or hay fever. I wonder about the accuracy of those ‘free’ tests our dear leaders sent us.

It’s all about the midterms. If you think 2020 was stolen, just you wait.

Good advice.

My gut that has continued to tell me, “Don’t take the jab! Don’t take the jab!”

Either that or “I’m hungry. Feed me!”

One of these days someone will take a good, hard look at how CoupFlu testing is being done, the labs that popped up suddenly to monopolize testing. Who was hired to staff them...

You should wonder.

Folks should check out the labs, both public and private doing their testing...

I just had something last month. Like a head cold for 3 days then a cough that hung on for three weeks. It was no big deal if it was covid. We take the Zelenko protocol everyday and I use a steroid inhaler for mild asthma and allergies.

This is all nonsense. If Branch Covidian is so damned virulent then you don’t need a test, or if a ‘government test’ shows you’re negative and it’s such an ooga-booga scaredy cat virus, WHY HAVEN’T YOU BEEN RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM? - can’t breathe, passed out, blah, blah blah blah blah.

Truth is they’d do this with the common cold if they could think of a more ominous sounding name for it.....

All they want is quarantine, mail-in voting and demonstrations of your obedience (e.g., wearing masks) to government authority.
