I just don’t want to know about it. There are people in my office who would

freak out if they knew I’d been exposed to someone who had tested positive. So I’d rather not know.

Basically, if someone in my office tests positive and then tells others in the office, we’re gonna have some issues. And I don’t want issues. So I’d rather just not know.

So did you get tested so you had an excuse to stay home?

isn't covid the same as a cold now days? Why even test?

To know how to treat it.

Exactly. If it's COVID, you'll want to stay home, get rest, and drink plenty

Paxlovid

Paxlovid is largely useless for those who have been vaccinated and who are not

Could be coincidence, I get it. But I felt like death. Got paxlovid, and rapidly

It's silly that anyone would fight you on that.

I don't know the data, but i've heard this exact report too many times now to

Jay Rick

Data shows otherwise so 🤷‍♂️ I guess we only follow science we want to

I’d heard the stats about “within 5 days of symptoms,” but I hadn’t seen anythin

Jay Rick

6:12pm

Yep. I usually don't test anymore these days because the treatment was the same anyway. But my in-laws

In that case if you are feeling any kind of sickness you should avoid them

kotacoug

5:18pm

You test to avoid going to your in laws.

4:12pm

Because in-laws had a terrible experience with it last time and would prefer to not take a chance getting it again.

BackPacker

If you are feeling any kind of resp illness you should avoid them not just if

kotacoug

Because you or those you might be exposing are high risk…

Quick get paxlovid so you can hang out with you MIL and watch Hallmark movies!

Newsflash… it was just a cold starting up. That’s what you have.

So weird that people are afraid of someone testing.

Jeffacka

Don’t care but for the majority of people it’s not worth even doing, but if

Where are you seeing this panic?

Jeffacka

5:20pm

I mean you’re posting on a thread where someone got tested because he had to

kotacoug

5:45pm

Sure, but life goes on for you whether he tests or not.

Jeffacka

6:18pm

Other than the financial aspect and the element of medical treatment being done

kotacoug

Testing is useless if it doesn’t change treatment

SJS

No one would argue otherwise, but it makes no difference to me either way.

People still test for Covid?

Covid didn't even stop me from going to the gym.

The last time I had it, I didn't stop doing anything. It was very mild.

Business idea: guaranteed positive covid test to be taken pre-in-law visit

That should be on Shark Tank!

Sharks, I'm seeking $10 million for a 2% stake in my in-law avoidance start-up

I just got over it. Bad strain right now. Wife just barely got it.

lol @ testing for covid

I usually don't, but my in-laws had a terrible time with it when they got it last. So it was for their sake, not mine.

BackPacker

There are plenty of reasons for some to test, doesn’t mean everyone should

cougaman

5:30pm

My current rule is to not test for it. And I don't want to know if others have

Jay Rick

5:00pm

I'm usually that way, but my in-laws got nailed by it hard when they last got it, so I felt it was reasonable to test

BackPacker

5:03pm

Ignore the mocking. It’s lame to mock people about taking a medical test.
