Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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 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.

Anecdotally for me, I got a positive test before I developed any symptoms.

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.

I’ve been sick as a dog all week but it’s finally passing today. Two negatives and my sister, who i definitely got it from, also multiple negatives. So. Bad cold I think. I canceled a planned office day and I don’t really have anywhere else I needed to go.

That sucks, sj. Are they not bringing someone new on?

In bigger and suckier news, my manager’s position was just eliminated. We’re told no other changes but the three teams that rolled up under him, mine being one of them, will all be reporting into different areas so it’s hard to anticipate how well that will all work.

But mostly he’s a really good guy and this fucking sucks.
