ALthough I would say with the availability of home test kits you should test.

I did not want to test, because I did not want to be in the system. With the home tests you can avoid that.

Why? Unless he's a fat lump of shite with a heart condition, he sails through this like everyone else does. If he does the exact same shite a typical flu sufferer does and avoids close contact, he'll be fine. Going to the doctor sounds good on the surface, but the only thing he'll get out of it is MAYBE a Zpack. Unless his symptoms escalate, he can feed himself water and vitamins all the same.

The truth is; with all of the asymptomatic cases out there, we have no clue how pervasive this virus was. At one point the WHO was using a 20X case multiplier in their models.

I don’t see the point. It would either cost me time by taking the test or money by staying at home.

Exactly. Knowing you have natural antibodies would be beneficial, but not worth having to sit in a corner for 10 days if you're positive.

Tell-tale sign of COVID is losing taste and/or smell.

I planned on getting tested until I lost my taste and smell.

I ended up not getting tested, bc I figured at that point I knew it was covid.


Exact same thing I did.

Just curious? My daughter stayed home sick from school Friday. She had the usual cold symptoms like a runny nose and a slight temperature around 100. She didn't want to go get tested, and she felt better the next day, so I didn't make her.

Now I have a sore throat and runny nose. My wife keeps telling me to go get tested and I asked her why? "So you'll know", she said. But what would knowing matter? So far, it's a mild cold, nothing more. Not sure I want to be in their database, just "to know"?



There are at home tests you can take.

Honestly, as long as you’re staying away from other people, and not going into work sure what’s the point.

I’ve powered through a few head colds, but I probably wouldn’t go into work with Covid. So I would want to know if I stilL worked from an office.

I refuse to be a part of the scam. I'm nicely recovered though.

Home tested. Not at doctors.

Well, not true, had to take PCR test in Mexico to get back onto the USA.

There’s very little value to know for certain that you have Covid.


I assume you mean if you are relatively young and healthy. There are plenty of people that are at risk. I would get tested if I had "covid" symptoms and get in line for a mAB. My PCP and I have that already worked out.

Right, how many people have influenza, and never get tested?

Same difference....

I knew I had covid immediately. So quickly rapid was negative but overnight came back positive. I have all medical records in hand confirming I contracted the virus, both physical and digital copies stored on thumb drives in my safe. My whole family contracted & has these records.

I feel like documentation will be paramount to avoid the jab moving forward. I would advise anyone who has had positive diagnosis get a copy for your records.

Here here. People get tested because daddy government told them to. You didn’t get the flu and just go get tested, you dealt with it and pressed on.

Likewise. My 7yr old daughter was feeling crappy for about a week, then my 14yr old daughter and now my wife. All just typical cold type symptoms. We don’t want to be in the data base either. I’ve had minor cold like symptoms several times, but I just double dose up on zinc and vitamin C and every time the symptoms are gone in 24 hours. Lots of whiskey too.

Haven't taken it. Haven't gotten it. Have been exposed numerous times.

The only people benefiting from these tests are the number crunchers and since they’re cooking the books anyway I don’t see the point.

They’re going to send you home to rest and isolate anyway, and since masks don’t work and “vaccines” don’t work I figure I’m doing the one thing that will actually help “stop the spread” which is stay home.

The pandemic logic breaks down in FAR to many places for this to be an actual pandemic. The virus is real, the pandemic is not.

Sorry covidiots, time to find a new waste of time.
