Ugh, Dana. I hate medical equipment companies, who I have to deal with on a regular basis because they won't just ship out my continuing care order every month until they talk to me and are assured my permanent disability is still permanent.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

morning, folks. This cold is being annoyingly persistent: I wish I didn't have any meetings today because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to say anything. At least I get to be at home.
And yes, I'm taking a 3rd covid test. Although the test has expired: so... does that mean you get more false positives, or false negatives?

I've never gotten a positive at-home test, even when I've gotten positive PCR tests.

I would guess false negatives, since it would make sense for the reaction to become less sensitive over time? But I am not a medical expert.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Anecdotally for me, I got a positive test before I developed any symptoms.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Is anyone planning on watching SMG’s new show tonight?
Probably not until this weekend.

Is it really expired? You can check online, in some cases they have extended the expiration date that’s on the box

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In general, I've been told home tests don't give false positives.

It's one of the new shows I want to check out. Seems like everything starts today

Dammit. My PCP is leaving the practice in two weeks and my current practice doesn’t have any availability. I liked having a doctor right in town and don’t want to have to go into the city for all my appointments.
