Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
It went to USPS.com so I knew it was legit.
People covered by private health insurance plans can get fully reimbursed for eight tests per month.
I have never had or used even one Covid home test. In fact, I have never been tested for Covid except for that one time in Arkansas when Frank had an ambulance take me to the ER. They tested me and yes, I had Covid.
If I feel sick, I just assume that I *AM* sick and behave accordingly. Honestly I can't imagine feeling even slightly sick and then just going out in public and breathing on people and coughing/sneezing all over them. That's just not something that I do.

With all the information regarding false negatives how would you really know for sure if it was accurate or not. [...] there have been many instances that someone has home tested negative and was found to have been carrying the virus. This was either due to test inaccuracy or the person testing was not doing the test properly.
Not at all.Does a temp check serve as an accurate Covid test?
Not at all.
It doesn’t tell you a thing about Covid, and plenty of Covid positive people are contagious without a temperature.BIL1 says temp checks are doctor approved as a test.
I suppose there could be one dr somewhere that would claim that. But certainly not accepted by the medical community.

Really sounds like these people shouldn’t mix. Why expose SIL2?
I agree. I’m going to relay the info to BIL2 and SIL2 and let them decide.
As stated- not everyone with Covid gets a temperature.
It is not a test for covid although it’s not a bad idea for everyone to take their temperature to avoid exposing SIL 2 to any other illness swirling around like the flu.
I know this is easier said than done but I would tell the anti test takers to stay at home if they couldn’t do a simple test to aid in keeping others from getting sick.
Only I wouldn’t be that nice about it!
Would be nice if they combined it with flu/rsv. Not sure what good it would do to know exactly but just kinda gee whiz.
I agree, but DW already told her brother and wife that they can visit for a few days. She will meet them at the door telling her brother that taking the Covid test at her sister’s request is the least that they can do.
I still have 6 tests left from the previous USPS order - they expire in Mar 2023 (extended). I'm not sure whether it makes sense to order another batch when there is a limited supply from the stockpile. Can anyone who received their just-ordered tests let me know what expiration date you got? If it's like Jan 2023, I'm going to pass. If it's more like June 2023, then I'll place an order. Thanks!
