Recommended once or twice a week here. Or was. I probably do a test every 1-2 weeks. Depends somewhat on what work one does, contact with what age groups. Many of my clients are quite elderly (80s, 90s) (though I'm not in close contact with any of them) and I want to be sure I'm not passing anything on to them. And I always do a test before I visit my fragile mum (age 92, nearly 93). Even though both I and my mum are double-vaxed and boosted. Had a disgustingly heavy cold when I visited mum a time or two ago. Snort, snort, cough, sneeze. I was in close contact doing physical caring duties and also slept in the same small room. BUT I wore a mask all the time that we were indoors (surprisingly, it really helped at night) and sanitised or washed my hands a lot. Was very pleased that she never got that stinker of a cold. Can only conclude that masks do work.

Well, I'm sure y'all will be pleased to know that I just completed another lateral flow test (that's the one where you shove a Q-tip up your nose; may not yet be available in the US) with the usual result: negative (= "not likely to be infectious" in test parlance).

For those who have no idea what Allan's talking about, I'll translate: "experimental drug" - all the different forms of vaccines formulated, made and distributed around the world, from a variety of countries "because the Government told you to"- all the dialogues around the world between elected officials and the public, including health officials, all from countries that normally disagree on everything "disregard all the side effects (including deaths) and unknown mid-to long-term debilitating effects"- the few known dangers for a few people getting vaccinated (as always happens) is far more dangerous than the far greater risks of death or permanent injury from getting Covid because Allan says so "just so you can 'be part of the crowd' or 'peer pressure' or a 'misguided sense of duty to fellow man" - paying attention to the medical experts and understanding them and agreeing, rather than bucking the establishment because it's the establishment and following the secret knowledge like Allan "I don't see how this topic could be uplifting in any way regardless" - decreasing the body counts doesn't matter much "It really could be a matter of life or death, just exactly whose, we'll have to wait it out"- let's ignore all the stats that say that the innoculated survive Covid at greater rates than the uninnoculated and claim all the facts aren't in when plenty are in and conclusions can already be drawn as to whether the vaccines are safer than the illness "I'm just glad I don't have to go to bed at night worried if some of those spike proteins are going to turn on my own bodies immune system after the 1st or 2nd or third or fourth or fifth or sixth jab !! " - I'm glad none of us have to worry about that, since it's a make-believe illness based on a misunderstanding of the biology. I'm also glad I don't have to go to bed at night worried about catching the gol-bloots from the hind legs of the boo-shoo bird. The world I live in doesn't even superficially resemble the world Allan thinks he sees. Then again, my world overcame the Spanish Flu, I don't know what the story is in his world.

Of course you are. The data did not tell us the patients' ages, whether they were obese or if they had comorbidities so you thought it was okay to simply invent some data. (build a patient profile) That is definitely not okay.
