    Could be but the way the sampling works (scrubbing inside of both nostrils) it should be pretty representative. I noticed my first and last positive tests were faint when I had it.

      Mrs. Kluurs is immuncompromised from her radiation/chemo - and was around me for 36 hours of symptoms and then 3 weeks we tried to keep apart - but still shared the same home - and she successfully dodged Covid. She's still never had it (please knock on wood for me). Hopefully, you'll get through this w/o sharing.

        The guy at Rite Aid told me on Saturday that the government is going to reinstate the free Covid test program.

        In the past I always had loads of free ones, not least because I was dating a public school teacher and NYC DoE gave them out like candy.

        Now I’m buying them, and it’s like $10 a test. The boy and I are doing them daily.

          He’s still positive, but the test stripe took longer to appear than yesterday

          Does that have any correlation to either the severity of the infection or transmissibility thereof?

          Could just be a sampling random event - "We happened to swab the area with the most virus."

          The faster it turns the higher the viral load is how it’s described. I think Jon is pretty on point with it being pretty representative.

              It likely would help @jon-nyc …

                    Update: The boy tested negative today. We may have dodged the bullet.

                    Mayla and I will test again tonight and maybe tomorrow

                              I’m declaring the bullet officially dodged. The boy’s last positive test was Tuesday and as of today I’m still negative and symptom free.
