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...

 

 

 

The only truth !!!

  • 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

--- One type of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) detects the presence of viral proteins (antigens)

 

---  half or more of COVID-19 infected patients might be missed by such tests

 

--- Additionally, false-positive result... also recognize antigens of viruses other than COVID-19, such as from human coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

 

--- With the limited data now available, WHO does not currently recommend the use of antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests for patient care  (emphases is theirs)

 

Summary

  • Molecular (e.g. PCR) testing of respiratory tract samples is the recommended method for the identification and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 cases.

well, that was easy... now we can set you to work on the rest of the problems of the world... 

An effective test cannot be done easily at home as it needs verification by a lab.  Even our famous Thai doctor "ABC" was seen in National News that he went to a specific hospital for taking this test.  One thing I really don't understand is that why Pattaya City Hall never sees it necessary to carry out this important test compulsorily on or about 1 Jan 2021 when Pattaya was basically lock down and if so, the truth of no infection or very low number of infection would have helped Pattaya a lot in persuading  the Thai Government to relax most if not all restrictions on the operation of many businesses like massage shops, beer bars,  agogo  and other entertainment venues.  If the number of infections is known to be , swift actions should be taken to monitor the health condition of those infected with Covid-19.  There is no harm at all for carrying this test effectively.  Lack of fund or man power should never be a problem to Pattaya. My business has been set up more than 16 years in Pattaya.  I am really disappointed about all these things happening here.

be careful, you are going to get a headache...

 

Sorry about your business but that is the nature of business, things change... happened to me too... I just never held any illusions that things would remain the same...

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.

 

 

I had a leaflet through my door from a private clinic on Chiswick High Road, West London - they do a Covid test with results in 15 minutes. - they  didn't mention a price.

It's 6 months since you made that claim and tests had a sensitivity of 34% to 80% from your article.  Development has now boosted that considerably and most now claim sensitivity starting around 80%.

There were even posters back then claiming vaccines were not the solution.

How things change in such a short time.

1 year ago auto test already had 80% reliability, but it was not what governments wanted mainstream media to tell to the people...

it's so clear that it would have been possible for anybody to self test for $5 since 1 year if governments were less idiots ....

Another village's favourite inhabitant looking for a conspiracy theory. 

 

Do you think they were waiting on the supply of 5G chips to stabilise?

 

You started this thread 4 months ago asking about availability and cost, and followed that up with claims that nobody would vaccinate.  Keep taking the tablets.
