Who gives a crap? Asymptomatic people do not spread it. And if you are symptomatic stay home for a few days.
In other words, what anybody would Common Sense would do

My 88-year-old stepmother along with one of her daughters and that daughter’s husband all got sick. Apparently someone in the group tested positive for covid which means jack shit. So I asked my stepmother her opinion. She said her friends and Neighbors were pushing her to get a covid test. She simply responded why bother I’m sick I’ll get over it. And by the way, she is over it.

I am really conflicted about getting those.

On one hand they are needed because of the rather stupid rules some places are imposing. Such as, kid has the flu, the doctor will not see them unless they have taken a WuFlu test.

Turned out no, just the dang flu. But as yellow green is not a happy color to be coughing up medical attention was indeed needed.

Doctor did take pity on us and did not demand that all of us get tested when it inevitably spread to the entire family.

But I really HATE humbly going to the government hat in hand for something. It grates.

Right. “Do it again.” One more time stick a swab up your nose with who-knows-what on the end of it. No thanks!

Follow the "$cience"

Yep. A virus so "deadly", you have to have a phoney test to see if you have it!

LOL

1 Aug: Daily Mail Australia: RAT companies hit back over ‘fearmongering’ after Aussies were warned to throw out certain brands NOW
by Brett Lackey
The removed tests are CovClear by Medi-Stats, NowCheck by Life Bioscience, and Covifind by Safe Interact, while the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection test from Becton Dickinson was voluntarily removed.
Becton Dickenson claimed their tests were effective in detecting all Covid strains but did not want to incur the cost of additional clinical data on emerging variants to provide to the TGA...

The whole point is to introduce something into your body through these phony tests. Will clip a few unvaxxed. So just keep testing! After all, they’re free.

Keep testing until you get a positive then report to your nearest ER. We need to get the numbers up.

And false positives are as likely as false negatives. The test tells you nothing.

Keep testing until you get a mail-in ballot.

The fda released notifications a few weeks ago that the antigen tests will produce false negs. However, they have not said if we are still calling single target pcr positives a positive test. The pcr standard is multiple targets because it has such a high false pos rate.
And of course, whomever creates the targets, sets positivity anyway. So if I really wanted to control you, I could add a target sequence that would look too suspicious… I would add the annual flu.
And you would obey, mask, vax and generally kneel in submission just like fauci and Trump asked you to.
I guess for some, science is their religion. A highly volatile and often dead wrong one.
Anyone can look these up.. I followed the covid ones in 2020 and just laughed at the fake science.

They are fifteen bucks a pop and not covered by insurance.

Actually you can get them for free thru the USPS:

https://special.usps.com/testkits

I have a few kits and yesterday when I got up in the morning, I was feeling extremely fatigued with body aches and it gradually worsened throughout the day with only a slight rise in temperature and no issues with breathing. So I tested myself and it came back positive for Covid.

However, this morning I'm already feeling much better but weak and hungry since I ate very little yesterday
