What's the latest information on COVID testing after exposure?
A phone call from one of my contractors | 9/4/23 | Me, Myself, & I

Posted on 09/04/2023 5:00:37 PM PDT by EinNYC

I just KNEW things were going too well as I looked forward, FINALLY, to the end of the remodeling of my house. I'm on the home stretch now, just a few things left to finish. One of these is installing the new railing on my new side porch. The welder, a middle aged gentleman, came out Friday to bring back the railing he had modified for my porch. We met briefly within a few feet of each other outside next to my porch, no physical contact. He shook hands with my other contractor and that was that. Less than 15 minutes, outdoors. Today, this gentleman informed me he'd tested positive for COVID as of a couple days ago.

So now, being asymptomatic, I guess unvaccinated me should have the PCR test on Wednesday, right? And my other contractor (also unvaccinated), who shook hands with this gentleman, should also be tested as of Wednesday (as I told him today). Do I have this right?

I take a whole plethora of immune enhancing vitamins each morning, the Dr. Zelenko protocol, and have been for a couple of years.

Does anyone have the most current information about exposure, testing, etc.?

You know, there’s a line where we have to say God will kill me on the appointed day. Until that day I intend to punch life in the mouth and laugh at it.

Living in fear is not living.

If you want to test for it, test for it. If not, wait and see if you have any symptoms.

I had it last December and I did fine getting over it. Fear makes it much worse.

Actually I had the flu some years ago and was far more ill than with covid. Yet nobody even cares anymore to worry about flu exposure.

Why would you get tested?

Either you have it and know how to treat it or you don't have it.

What good would taking a really badly flawed test do you?

I doubt the test are accurate - the ones used throughout the Covid ‘plandemic’ weren’t even based on the Covid virus, but were based on a related coronavirus.

Medical people have questioned why nasal swabs are used to collect samples available in cheek swabs traditionally used. Something off about the testing industry - which as the PCR failed when people realized it wasn’t a valid Covid ‘test’, Bill Gates and George Soros stepped into the breach to set up a testing company. Nah. I wouldn’t be tested if I were you.

PCR tests are unnecessary.

Get the quick one, if needed.

Today is Monday, you met briefly with him on Friday....Chances are, if he was feeling fine on Friday,
chances are, he was not yet contagious...That’s been my personal experience...I just saw an article on the lancet about whether people are contagious before they start feeling sick.

No. I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Testing, schmesting. Do you test for the yearly colds/flu?

Do you HAVE to test, for work?

I see no benefit to testing and no one can make me get a test. Screw the medical establishment and their deceptions.

Why test for it? You either are sick. Or you ain’t sick.

I wouldn’t bother testing unless you have symptoms. In the meantime, take multivitamins, quercetin, vitamin D and C, and zinc.

I had a sinus infection several weeks ago.

I ran over to the nearest Urgent Care to get an Rx, for antibiotics.

The tech asked if I’d like to be tested for China Virus, to rule that out.

I said, NO! I’ve already ruled that out, and....I will not take those faulty tests. She said, Believe me....I hear you!

Grabbed my script and was on my way.

The PCR test cannot differentiate between Covid and flu and can be spun up to a level whereby pretty much anything can be found.

That is why its Nobel-winning inventor famously said it is not a diagnostic tool for anything.

So much that was deadly was done from the mandated and heavily dollar-incentivized protocols to withholding of usual pneumonia treatments to classifying pretty much anything as a death that could be attributed in some way to Covid, etc., that a number of honest experts now question as to whether there was an initially circulating, contagious “Covid” outbreak at all. (Sadly, the clear excess deaths have come since and from the jabs.)

That game was played at our factory last go around
. It’s the flu. Do not throw federal money at this and it will go away.

A suggestion to find a medical professional you TRUST and can go for advice.

There’s plenty of FRoctors that let their personal agendas shape their narratives. Seek out someone you trust and who you know of their character.

Also, don’t bother getting tested unless you start
feeling sick...If you start feeling off, then stay home and take a test.

Your post has value because, at a minimum, it’s a reminder not to shake hands. Covid season. Flu season. Whatever. It’s a shame to have to say that, but it’s a simple precaution, and one worth taking. I put the onus on myself, by saying I just got over a cold.

Don’t shake hands.
Don’t touch your face before washing your hands.
Wash your hands early and often.
Don’t vote for Democrats.

I think that about covers it.
