How accurate do you feel the tests are?

Pretty damn accurate when properly administered. Depends on the same factors any such test of this nature would.
 
Remember all those people losing their taste and smell for 3 months to a year, prior to COVID?


Ya, me neither.

I gotta ask.

Am I supposed to live my life differently, either way? :noidea:

No. It’s just that you’d know if you had them or not. Also, for those who aren’t vaccinated, catch Covid and then want to get vaccinated there is a good body of evidence that says you don’t need the first shot… only the second. Same may be true for boosters in the future.

Lastly, it’s just like any other disease or virus… you’d want to know it as part of your medical history. For example, if you were asked on a medical form “have you ever contracted Covid” how would you answer that? Given what you’ve said here I’m presuming you’d answer “yes”. The natural follow up for that is “what’s the date of your test that confirmed that?” Again, given the responses here I’m presuming you’d say “I didn’t have it confirmed by a test. I just know”

I've spoke with my primary and heart doctor about it. We good, fam. Thanks for your concern.:wink:
 
I’m not fully sure this fits the exact discussion here….but it’s apt to me regarding all that’s going on.

I fully admit to following this guy for over a year. And when I started following he was lockstep with mainstream narrative on this virus. He’s not so now….he’s very middle and, IMO, makes logical points on his positions. He cuts both narratives where he sees bullshit. I don’t 100% agree on all of them, but I appreciate that he doesn’t lean one way or the other like so many do.

It’s a fair watch….is Omicron the first sign that this virus is endemic? It is surely too soon to say for sure….but there are some data points that show this. A good talk on things like this.

If ever asked that on a medical form, I’d answer yes.

Then leave it blank on the date. Because who the fuck would know that shit. And why would someone care to ask?

well, one example would be if you wanted to get vaccinated or get a booster. You need to wait a certain amount of time after contracting Covid to get them. That’s one reason why they ask.

That isn’t a scenario that concerns me.

Have any others?

sure. Often times when you travel they ask if you’ve had Covid or been around someone with Covid. They usually follow that up with a time period (ie 14 days). You’d need to tell them the dates of the exposure/test.

I’ll add this. Earlier you made a comment about the “types” of people who get tested. Some companies won’t let you return to work until you’ve had a negative Covid test after experiencing symptoms/testing positive. In fact, some (at least at one time) required 2 negative tests.

Testing isn’t just for “scared” people.
