I know what you’re thinking. “I thought that covid tests would be stopped.
We all thought that. After all, we’re not testing the new Corona virus at this time.
Well, there was one person who made it a point to give it a go. The idea being that when you had a negative test, you would be encouraged to self-isolate for at least two weeks. This idea was a popular one among health professionals because of its perceived benefits. You would be reassured that you have the ability to self-isolate if you test negative, and the idea was to get people to take more steps to stay healthy.
The problem is that the original idea was never actually tested, and so the idea of a self-isolation period for a negative test is not supported by research. The current official advice is to treat the negative test as a “low-risk” situation. And because the virus is not going to be transmitted by droplets, there’s no need to self-isolate.
On some level, I agree that self-isolation is probably a bad move, but I think there are other considerations here. If you’re sick and you have no idea how you got it, you’re probably better off being tested by a doctor. If you don’t have time to be tested, at least you know you don’t have the disease. If you’re sick, you’ve probably got it.
Covid-19 is not airborne, and that means you can self isolate. The CDC suggests you wait six days before you go to work or school, and then you can work from home. But in a few short days, everyone will be at home, and even if you dont, you can go to work. It will be a lot easier for your kids to make it to school if you spend a few days at home and are able to get out to play.
There is a new website that has been offering a free test that you can take if you are sick. It should be out soon. But the website is also offering a $39.99 test that you can try if you dont have Covid-19. It will tell you if you have the disease. If you dont, it will give you a list of some of the symptoms, and let you know what to do if you need to take a test.
I have no idea if this will work, so I have no idea how long a test will take. If it doesn’t work, it will be a good test for those who have it.
Thats if it works, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
We need your help to fight the coronavirus, but we can’t give you a test until there’s a cure for the virus. That is why this is a test for you. It is an expired test for you. It will only last up until the end of the coronavirus.
