You may have allergic reaction with rubber. The AirPod Pro have an rubber part go into the ear channel. You may not have problem before but when we’re aging your body change.

Setup a free KMS server(open sourced, you can run it in docker), and activate your copy of Windows with M$ purposely 'leaked' volume keys, you get a full functioning Windows for free(need to reactivate it automatically against the KMS server every 120 days). Don't feel guilty, you trade your privacy with the free use (as long as you don't use it for commercial purpose), M$ knows it, and allows it. M$ wants your big data.

It's just a test, people. To HELP people...the helpful people and the unhelpful people. It's to help you know if it is covid or just a cold while you're home...before you drive to get a pcr test to confirm it. Before you walk around pretending it is just a cold, spreading covid to everyone else. My family used the tests and they were 100% accurate, as confirmed by pcr tests. It is as simple as following directions. Perhaps too complicated for the magic 8 ball guy.

If one believes the study (which one should), then let’s understand and believe it in it’s entirety. The study says that SENSITIVITY of BINAX NOW tests is HIGH.
Specifically, the SENSITIVITY when compared to a culture test (where virus is grown from the sample and is a much better but more time-consuming than even RT-PCR test) was HIGH (> 70%) and the Positive and Negative PREDICTIVE values were high (ie test is valuable - 100%, 92.7% respectively) even for asymptomatic cases INCLUDING for those that developed symptoms within 7 days of testing.
See “ For participants who were within 7 days of symptom onset, the BinaxNOW antigen test sensitivity was 71.1% (95% CI = 63.0%–78.4%), specificity was 100% (95% CI = 99.3%–100%), PPV was 100% (95% CI = 96.4%–100%), and NPV was 92.7% (95% CI = 90.2%–94.7%).”
The paper further advocates use of serial testing to tighten above based on additional factors - eg negative tests in high-risk environments should be confirmed with serial / confirmatory tests. It also recommends continued use of precautions as far as possible - distancing, masking, isolation even for those testing negative to mitigate personal and community transmission risk.
The tests are valuable when access to more accurate tests is challenged (like now) due to many reasons including stress on more accurate lab testing personnel and equipment. //@anonymous: You should READ the study, specifically the CDC one. In that study one of the things they test is is people who TESTED POSITIVE from the PCR test (which they confirmed with a second), and this kit STILL returned false negatives. And as I quoted directly, terrible sensitivity especially for asympomatic cases. So to summarize, even people whom we KNOW to have the virus, STILL tested falsely using these test kits. //@Anonymous: It's just a test, people. To HELP people...the helpful people and the unhelpful people. It's to help you know if it is covid or just a cold while you're home...before you drive to get a pcr test to confirm it. Before you walk around pretending it is just a cold, spreading covid to everyone else. My family used the tests and they were 100% accurate, as confirmed by pcr tests. It is as simple as following directions. Perhaps too complicated for the magic 8 ball guy.

It's a scam. 4 negatives but my pcr result came out positive. any confusion caused by this fake test kit makes it worse than not having it.

Our school district is giving these for free. But it is completely useless with such an accuracy. //@anonymous: Look like it's actually worse than a Magic 8-Ball. //@anonymous: This test kit was constantly out of stock up until the FDA announced yesterday that they're only about 50% effective in detecting Omicron! And now all of a sudden they become available! How cool is that!
With 50% chance of telling me the right result I might as well throw a coin, that's 50% too! It will give me the result in a second and I save $14!!!

That's right, HCov-229E, HCov-OC43, etc also cause common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis //@anonymous: Common cold and flu are also caused by coronavirus, which are close family to Sars-Cov2. Many mutations in new Omicron variant actually exist in common cold and flu coronaviruses. //@anonymous: Uh, these at home tests generate a 15% false negative rates and 1 to 2% false positive rates. Did you try to use that empty space between your ears before posting? //@anonymous: And the trailer park chimes in //@anonymous: Might as well buy a Magic 8-Ball

"We the people" are much more trustable than bureaucrats //@Anonymous: And you probably believed them. //@anonymous: On social media, many people showed positive results after testing using orange peel or other things

It will show positive if a person is infectious, ie there are enough virus in the body to infect others. Person is just infected and virus is cooking inside, there may not be enough antigen to show up. But PCR will. This test will help a person to know if he/she is infectious and stop spreading.
Magic ball person, quit your useless comments.
