Come to Thailand get tested and be quarantined.

Covid Self test are avaiable in the UK but they still have to be sent to a lab for the test to be completed. As far as im aware there are no such self test kits that will give you the required certification.

 

There are blood <deleted> type test but these again are hit and miss and dont stan up for anything except a self un authenticated type test.

so this is the only reason why the world cannot fix this problem ? (apart from people being mostly idiot)

if everybody could self test once a day and stay home if positive, no more problem...

 

I suspect Christmas to be fun in Europe ????

 

 

 

 

[sapson]

Depending where you live your cheapest option probably the local government hospital if they have a covid unit? at least if positive the incarceration and treatment will be cheaper than elsewhere.

 

My local lab wouldnt test for covid other than antibody test and suggested hospital only.

 

Has anyone had any experience of testing here at a hospital or clinic?

[elgenon]

Bill Gates said high quality self tests will probably be available in the States by end of year or first quarter next.

 

You need to know the efficacy of any test.

The difficulty is that there will be a percentage who will not quarantine. No current tests are sufficiently reliable in home use.

 

There will be a large number of fake tests or tests kits that failed QC available for online purchases that will be cheaper than a genuine one. 
 

I would not trust anyone who claimed to be clear as a result of a home test at the moment, probably not for months yet.

 

fun Christmas? Let’s all have super spreader events and hurt our friends. ????

Some autotests are perfectly reliable and it's a mystery why they are not sold all over the world when they are the only solution to restart life.

I am not a complotist but I really understand them. Something wrong, and only idiots would not see it.

Those tests are not reliable, and have been refused by border controls, air travel as well as Covid scientists and hospitals. Also, even if they were reliable, imagine the cost of daily testing . When they are ready they’ll be on the market.

Testing and isolation is only part of the issue... finding a proven vaccine is the absolute solution.

When that is available the "world will be fixed"

No home tests have been certified as reliable. Only an idiot would believe, and pay for them.

read the text you quoted. Then understand the text you quoted. Then engage your brain. Then reply.

This process will probably reduce the number of foolish replies.

 

There is no clinical difference (now) between someone who has not been tested and someone who has use a home “test”. The difference is that the “home test” individual has wasted money on snake oil.

Sorry guys, but as it is really too funny to find how much you know nothing, I won't develop.

Self tests exist and clearly work as well as PCR, but thanks to people like you who follow and believe what the idiot politicians around the world repeat, of course, things improve slowly.

I have evidences that self test exist and work, being used and reviews by some famous important people in the world, but if you do not want to know, do not use google, the world needs more people like you !

I can't believe that in 2020 people do not know more than in 1980. but maybe this is the life that you like ! Keep watching what TV tell you to watch and believe !

adios

If you think that anybody with a brain will inject a vaccine made in 6 months when they usually need 10 years, you are really really good ! Keep doing what they tell you to do...

But yes, if so many people think just like you, a vaccine might be the solution, but sorry, not for me and many others.

Did you read the article?  It says:

 

"the sensitivity of these tests might be expected to vary from 34% to 80%."

 

and

 

". . . . WHO does not currently recommend the use of antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests for patient care . . . ."

 

Not what I would call a vote of confidence.

Doctors in my country use these instant tests and they perfectly work. How funny that most people here know nothing even when Internet exists !!!

 

Self testing using these instant tests is the only way to start having a normal life again.

 

If you believe in vaccine, you are worst than I could think...

Saliva tests are even used in Africa !

So incredible that even with Internet most people of this world know nothing and do not understand that private companies make the laws and the rules.

No wonder why in ridiculous Europe people are dying from a flu...

The FDA today authorized an at-home test (the Ellume antigen test, developed in Australia) that reportedly identifies '96% of positive samples and 100% of negative' . It will be sold over the counter at something like 30 US$. Requires a nose swab, 20 min waiting time and is used in connection with a smartphone application to help interpret the results .https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/15/health/us-coronavirus-tuesday/index.html

finally someone moves his arrse in US ! these tests are available in Korea since June at least.

 

 

[onthedarkside]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/12/15/covid-home-rapid-test/

 

"While experts hailed the new test as a long-awaited development, many also worried that people may view the use of such tests as tacit permission to disregard precautions such as wearing masks or maintaining distance. They note that some rapid tests have been 90 to 97 percent accurate in detecting the virus, and that detection often depends on when people take the test.

 

Experts also caution that while people can take the test one day and be negative, they can acquire the virus the next day.

 

Last month, the FDA approved another single-use home test kit, but it required a prescription from a doctor. That test, developed by California biotechnology company Lucira Health, was expected to sell for less than $50, company officials said."

Truthfully I prefer Thailand's approach to the Covid issue.
No test.  No Covid.   <Taa daa>

"Covid-free Thailand!  At your disposal.  Now plan your trips and hit the domestic tourism circuits.  Spend spend spend.  Second wave?  There's no second wave.  Thailand is open domestically, now go have fun!!!"
That's what me and the Mrs have planned.

Yep.  During the global Covid insanity this is about the perfect place to be in my humble opinion. 

[BEVUP]

The home test kit that was developed in Auss (brisbane ) is apparently 96 % accurate 

Need phone results

Costing $30 US

Available around the world EXCEPT Australia 5555

Looks like our Auss Gov (Nanny) don't think we,re capable, as they said no need for us to use it since we have plenty of Labs 

The system isn,t that good since you have to wait 12 + mths for a basic free Gov eye Op

wrong, not around the world, until now most countries were too stupid to approve them.

some countries have them ready since April, but still haven't approved it.

now it's changing because they have no choice and the idiots who control the world start to understand what they are talking about, finally.
