You can get 2 tests for $23 at the CVS man. Bring it home and give it to yourself and then you’ll know. 

Walgreens tests are free. They do a molecular diagnostic and a PCR. You get the molecular test with a couple of hrs. It’s the rapid Abbott test but isn’t an antigen test (I think). They also do RT-PCR which like everywhere is ~ 24 hr turnaround.

In SA, there’s a website for Bexar county that lists all the no cost places and all the places doing tests.

The no cost places bill your insurance as far as I know but I didn’t pay anything.

It’s Abbott’s test, called BinaxNow. Get the box and it has 2 tests. Follow the instructions and have your answer. Whole process to results takes about 20 minutes.

Tested negative, thank goodness. Thanks for the recommendation and peace of mind through this weekend

Ted Cruz one year ago today:

"If it ends up that Biden wins in November … I don't think he will … but if he does, I guarantee you, the week after the election, suddenly all those Democratic governors, all those Democratic mayors, will say, 'Everything is magically better. Go back to work, go back to school,' " he spouted, as shown on video below.

Just found out a cousin, her husband, and both kids tested positive today in Savannah. They never got vaccinated.  The husband is an engineer for Gulfstream, so he’s not a dummy, but I guess he went down the anti vaccine rabbit hole and held his family out.  So frustrating.

I see Florida is now having their worst days yet in terms of new cases. 

One reporting problem is that in June, the state of Florida started only reporting at the county level once a week, so the general public gets to be kept in the dark if their county starts to flare up. Numbers don't look as bad to DeSantis voters if you spread them around the entire state. They also release the county level #s on Fridays so they don't get as much press/public attention.  

Unfortunately I imagine this week's county numbers are going to be horrific for Jacksonville and Panama City areas.

I fear that Texas will fall into this trap soon.

The only good thing I can see out of this is the people who got infected (hopefully asymptomatic or not serious symptoms) now have antibodies. That is a positive, right? There has to be a decent amount of the anti-vaccine crowd by now that knowingly or are unknowingly have antibodies from prior infection.

boss just spent a week with people who tested positive over the weekend.  he can't get tested until tomorrow (too soon, i guess), and won't have results until thursday.  still coming into the office to send off a handful of emails that he could do perfectly well from his phone or home. 😡

boss tested positive.  he's vaxxed.  got it from people who are vaxxed.  who also got it from people who are vaxxed.

 

how long before the rapid antigen test might be effective?

At the very least this asshole should just be given the vaccine before he's discharged. Make it a condition of treatment for the unvaxxed who don't die. If they say no they can go die at home or the hospital can give them a lethal amount of sleeping pills or something.

IIRC you have to wait a certain amount of time after having COVID before you can get vaxxed.

This is why some of the NC State baseball players weren't vaccinated yet - they had recovered and needed to wait a few months before they could get the shot(s).

This is correct if you received monoclonal antibody treatment, which this asshole undoubtedly did.

David Begnaud was reporting on this. The guy said he didn’t trust the vaccines because they were approved by the Emergency Use Authorization. The doctor pointed out to David that so were the medications used to treat this idiot’s Covid. It’s hard to fathom how people can be so stupid.

Would offering 25% off hospital bill for 1 Covid shot be ethical? If you come back for the second we wipe it all out.

My folks are in Bell County.  Bell County is only 33% fully vaxxed.  The population older than 65 is 66% fully vaxxed.  This is FUCKING infuriating.  My parents and all their friends have been vaxxed.  Who the fuck is holding out?  I am going to ask my parents to stop going to church again, because apparently there are too many fucking mouthbreathers.  

I hate to say it, but I am glad as fuck I no longer live in Texas.

Agree at the thrust to reach a community, but I believe Covid coverage for the uninsured is funded by HHS. If a provider is willing to bill at Medicare rates, all coverage for Covid-19 is covered. It is a sensible program to reach lower income recipients of the virus and stopping the spread. I am not sure such a requirement will work well in that community. Treat the individual and build trust. Do no harm.

I see why Republicans and Fox are abandoning that deadly narratives about vaccination. It threatens their brand trust. At some point, the duped will get angry at those who sold them a bunch of shit. 

AI:  Politicizing a pandemic is deadly.  Do not trust those who sow seeds of discord in such conditions and root out the sources for minimization. Measure for impact and correlation. Adjust accordingly.
