(One hour of talking. Maybe one minute on the show. Ha.)
Bottom line: trust your RAT result if it is positive: You’ve got Covid. But understand a negative test result does NOT necessarily mean you are Covid-free.
RATS are good tests…not great tests. Great at identifying highly infectious cases.
Masks will continue to be the bedrock of Covid prevention. Get a KN95, and use it properly. Get your booster. Open doors and windows to ventilate.
Covid is a disease of indoor re-breathing of other people’s exhaled air. Preventable with masks and ventilation, same as every respiratory infection ever.
