Reporting Home Covid Test Results Can Be Confusing. Here’s How to Do It.

So, you got a positive result on your home test for Covid-19. What do you do next? In addition to everything else on your plate — isolating and notifying close contacts, taking time off work and rescheduling appointments — it’s good practice to report your test results.

And while home tests have made it easier and faster to screen yourself and get treatment, it is not always easy to report an illness. This confusion has meant that many cases are left out of official counts.

If you test positive at a clinic or another community testing site, those results must be reported to public health departments under the CARES Act. Some home tests taken under the supervision of a trained telehealth provider are also reported to government health officials. But if your rapid test doesn’t fall into one of these categories, it can be unclear what to do.

Here’s how,to do it. Test, if it comes up positive for covid, rest for a week, tzke ivermectin, or green tea extract, zinc, vit d- get over it because it’s almost 100% survivable, then go about your business as usual. Forget about going to,the health centers or hospitals as they will tell,you to,tskempaxlovid, which causes rebound covid, or to the hospital where they will administer remdesiver which destroys organs, and isn’t very effective against covid.

Exactly! I’d probably be hoping I came up positive and NOT report it, so in effect undo one of their lies.

Omicron is notorious for getting the sniffles, as well as coughing and fever. I had it, and it wasn’t p,easant, but I’ve certainly,had worse flues before.

At the moment, there’s a pneumonia like illness that’s pretty nasty making the rounds here in NH. Everyone who has reported having it has also tested for Covid and all the tests keep coming back negative.

Mr. mm took four within one week at the height of his illness, and they all were negative.

Hospitals are giving Paxlovid? That kills mitochondria.
The number one worst thing that covid and the injections do are they kill mitochondria. If you want cancer or AIDS this is how to do it.

“...Home Covid Test Results Can Be Confusing”

And USELESS! What a CROCK these and all Covid tests are/were.

Nope. Not reporting an unreliable test result to people who have no clue what to do with the info. Not reporting if I get the flu, or a headache, an upset stomach or if I’m hungry after 9 pm. Too much useless data filling the metaverse and we don’t have enough robots to process it all.

I decided to get two of Biden’s “free” home tests mailed to me. I used one to confirm Covid but only because I woke up with symptoms on Christmas Day and didn’t want to go see grandparents if positive.

I CERTAINLY did not report that positive to my county, but my county estimates such home-test, non reported cases anyway.

home testing is useful to know whether or not to treat suspected covid with ones limited supply of zelenko protocol meds ... also, it’s common sense and common courtesy to stay home until well so as not to risk infecting ones friends, family and coworkers, which is the same stay-at-home behavior that reasonable people do when they have ANY communicable illness ... ourselves and our friends behave this way ... as far as “reporting” to the “authorities”, it’s none of their damn business, after all, we don’t “report” colds or flu ...

I thought the whole point of home testing was so you don’t have to report it.

“…just stay in your stateroom if you feel contagious..”

Or go ahead and spread it - you are doing people a favor - giving them a vaccine that actually works.

Sounds like a really good reason to test at home.

If you go to a clinic and test positive, they will charge you a lot of money, report you to the commissars, and refuse to treat yo with anything that works.

Health centers are prescribing it(Paxlovid). The hospitals are giving Remdesivir (hydrolyzed in plasma (dries out plasma.)) Plasma carries water in the body.

The worst part is that doctors are going along with it. Just as the "big guy' says, "Don't forget my 10% cut." Just as Kay Griggs said they(people she knew) are the mob from New Jersey.

I gave a fake name (they didn’t want an email address) when verifying the test lines with my phone camera and their app. Surprised their app didn’t spy on me but they’d probably get in trouble for that if caught. All I wanted was their system to tell me from the image if I was positive, not rat myself out and be in their database forever.

There is no covid virus. Just stop drinking tap water, don’t get a vaxx and take immune boosting supplements so you don’t catch the seasonal flu.
