Whose had covid

[Jim Lahey]

I have.

[Jovial Monk]

Not me as yet.

Just did the third RAT, will know in 15 minutes.

[Jovial Monk]

No “test” line appearing so far.

[Jovial Monk]

So, I doubt I have COVID: negative RATs Wed-Thu-Fri.

Say there is a 10% error rate

10% chance on first test

Second test, multiply probabilities, 1 in 10 x 10 chance wrong result twice

Third test, 10 x 10 x 10, 1 in 1,000 chance of a wrong result. I don’t have COVID which is good because today is food shopping day!

Buy some nice garlicky sausages I reckon. Keep one for treats for use in obedience training of the mutt.

[Jim Lahey]

I did a saliva test and it was negative but I know I'm positive due to 3 other nasal tests.
So there are certainly false negatives floating around

[Jovial Monk]

Yup, and false positives I bet.

[Super Nova]

My Daughter had it, tested positive. I had minor symptoms, tested negative.

I consider i have had it.

[J o h n S m i t h]

I had it a couple of months ago ...

at the time it didn't affect my asthma .... but ever since, I've been using my Ventolin a couple of times a day where as before I would be lucky to use it several times a week.

I hope whatever it has done to my lungs isn't permanent.

[Jim Lahey]

that's interesting, My asthma has also been good throughout, but now toward the end im feeling a little bit tight in the chest.

Ventolin—fart fuel. Dad took WAY too much Ventolin, farted like the brass section of a symphony orchestra! (He was already a champion farter before the Ventolin.)
