Is tomrrow too early, actually? It will have basically been exactly 4 days since my last exposure.

 

Think I answered my own question.

First:

 

Quote

But the Omicron variant’s symptoms seem to come much earlier: three days after exposure on average. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that people with Omicron can become contagious at least a day before symptoms appear. A January 5 preprint paper posted on medRxiv tracked 30 people during an Omicron outbreak and found that most were infectious several days before rapid antigen tests detected COVID.

Plus, even though I was last exposed Tuesday, I was exposed to her for longer periods of time on Sunday and Monday.

PCR is more sensitive so no need to wait for day 5.

Most likely the same but I haven't seen what they use at a doctors office, my kids had them done there once but my wife wasn't sure what type it was. But the at home tests are called lateral flow tests where you swab your nose, wring the swab out in a buffer solution, and then squeeze a few drops onto a test strip. I've heard there's also some saliva based ones when you spit into a tube but never seen one personally.

Thanks. That what I figured but I wasn’t sure. Daughter had mild cold symptoms this week. Woke up with a headache Tuesday  and Wednesday l, and choked on drainage and threw up Thursday morning. All very typical for her starting a cold. Once she got up and ate she felt perfectly fine every day. We gave her an at home test (negative) and kept her home from school Thursday since she had thrown up. She did cartwheels and handstands all day. Took her to pediatrician this morning and they did a rapid test which came back negative and cleared her to return to school without a PCR test. 

Also heads up... For those of you who ordered the 4 free tests from the gov site, make sure not to leave them in the mailbox for more than a few hours if it's below 36 degrees where you're at. The test strips lose accuracy if they are stored in cold temps for too long. 

Mine were supposed to be delivered Monday but then got an update that they were out for delivery today. Just remembered to grab them now after they'd been out there since 4, hopefully they're still good.

Youngkin and crew are so full of win in VA. This is awesome:

Omg really?  How dumb is this that the tests aren’t accurate if cold?  Imagine the shitstorm about to happen with "false positives”

I mean, I’m not the one crucifying and boycotting any companies for their mandates so I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

You guys are making real asses out of yourselves.

Seriously.

Read all this from an outside perspective.

'I could beat you up in real life!'

'No you couldn't!'

'Uh-huh!'

'Nuh-uh!'

Take a week off. Go camping or something.

 

I think I can make a full recovery from looking bad on a message board. Besides, we are in the middle of a full scale blizzard right now, camping sounds a bit uncomfortable.

See, I can do it too. Actually it really is kinda fun.

wanna fight, pansy ass?

Maybe. Let me have my coffee first, I slept in today and just woke.

Oh, and my right arm is really, really sore from my covid booster yesterday. So if you could avoid that area I'd appreciate it.

I think it's the other way around, making them less sensitive, and thus more likely to to cause a false negative.

@lynched1 is built Peter Parker before the spider bit him.

Just met with a lil' swabby boi.

Ya know, it's funny going to the store with a mask on when you could potentially have COVID and see all these maskless people. It's like "You probably think I'm a loser, but I could actually be saving your dumb ass right now."
