Why folks want to keep testing is beyond me. I had C-19 at the end/beginning of 21/22 and didn't need a test to know I was sick. I stayed home and gave proper attention to my symptoms. Early on my pcp (2 yrs ago) told me "IF" I got it---stay home, take Musinex, hydrate (I utilized that with Gateraid for electrolytes). I also took advantage of the Brownwood site for therapy (it worked!!!!) before it got shut down. My pcp recommended it but 1st had labs done to find out and I had the antibodies for the "plague". My case felt like a flu. I never had a fever with it and only "some" of the symptoms. I've read where the tests can be inconclusive giving false negatives or positives. I won't be getting any "free" anything as according to the reports they have a "shelf life" that expires their effectiveness.
