They've pushed the expiration date of those tests out a few times.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I hadn't heard that and was wondering the same thing as mine expired in July.

I definitely felt like I had a very bad flu with Covid despite being vaxed and boosted until about a day after I started Paxlovid, and then I was just exhausted and had the disgusting Paxlovid taste in my mouth.

I so love the government. The subtitle says "9-month to 12-month self-life extension granted by the FDA July 8, 2022," but all of the extensions seem to be 6 months. Right? Not just my bad math?
So, if I have a test with an expiration date before the ones listed on the form, do I presume that it's good for up to six months?

Thrive to spite them
I remain Covid negative according to the test I just took. I'm going to continue to isolate as much as possible and see how it goes.
And the soup I made was a hit. It was pretty simple but M's mom not only told me how much she liked it twice but she told whoever she was talking to on the phone how good it was. Which almost never happens, usually I just get a "that was good".
I'm Skyping with E-- or rather he is doing his thing on minecraft and I'm surfing the internet. His first day of 8th grade was today. They have a new principal who is a "Karen". I asked why and he said she talked like one at an assembly they had and her hair cut.

I'd think so, Vortex. What I read (grain of salt) is that they're revising dates as they get more information from the tests being used in the real world.

Timelies all!
Sorry that folks are testing positive.

I'd also caution that I was testing pretty dark until day 7 or so. I started to get lighter lines for days 8 and 9 and only tested negative on day 10. I was being extra cautious and didn't stop isolating until then, and I wore my mask until I tested negative.
