Real shit headline

🤦🏽‍♀️ Antigen tests answer a different question than PCR tests answer. Please just stop already. Your noise is adding to the confusion.

this misleading and not correct

Would it be possible for news organizations to actually hire some people who understand basic scientific principles and STOP trying to twist *everything* into a 'gotcha' opportunity ? Symptoms are irrelevant to this discussion...

If I don’t have symptoms. I don’t test.

Conditional on being contagious - are antigen tests less likely to detect Omicron than other variants?

It is all bullshit

Who cares if you don’t have symptoms shouldn’t be testing anyways

Sooo . . . we’ll report this as disinformation.

Come on, . I assume you’ve been paying attention. Tweet like it. It’s about viral load.

Get your fucking COVID19 and basic public health/science act together. You are putting out incorrect information. VaccinesSaveLives

It’s all about viral load, how is this still confusing after 2 years of this

Symptoms, or lack thereof, are not the same as viral load, which is what the tests detect. Why are you including symptoms in this message at all?

From the “Late to the game” department…

This wk, my husband & I both tested neg on home tests before testing pos the next day. We swabbed both nose & throat for each test as Dr. John Campbell advised for Omicron & we were highly symptomatic during all tests with active nasal drainage, coughing, sneezing.

We can’t believe they had not allowed for that. Any tests that are made in the USA or do they all come from China
