Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

I myself haven’t done the ART test yet. I told dd she will teach me next time. P1/P2 will be quite difficult.
More test will have more cases or not? One side feel their pain but another side think probably good to test. Just hope it is not too invasive. -

$10+ per kit is pretty expensive. I hope the prices will drop as the kits become more common just like the masks.

You referring to this?
Yep. Somebody ordered several million ART test kits they dunno what to do with now. :razz: -
DS is very prone to nosebleeds. I would have preferred an alternative. But if it must be done it must be done. I will do one on myself in front of him first to demonstrate solidarity with him. The poor younger ones, especially lower primary…I’m pretty sure the parents will have to deal with screams and meltdowns.

I remember reading we becoming nation of testing. If only once every new term start, maybe considered lucky liao?
To go endemic with aggressive testing don’t look like same direction but I guess probably with many unknowns now, it is safer to do that to prevent total out of control ?
Primary kids as they say mostly asymptomatic/mild may be a good way to trace back to adults…actually I find secondary ones also high risk de coz many take public transports etc… -
Actually hor, maybe for ppl like me, who constantly worry about kids in this endemic living ‘testing’ set up…testing may be ‘good’ in a way though we have to endure some inconveniences.

The newspapers are reporting that Israel is preparing for possible 4th Covid-19 vaccine booster.
Will this ever end?

The tests are less invasive now and don't go as deep (one good thing from the Delta variant - because the viral load is higher near the front). You only need to go 2-3 cm into the nose. I haven't done one myself, but my husband had one last week as he caught a cold (both ART and PCR negative for Covid).

Just read…looks ok. 2.5cm in. Hopefully the kids can do it themselves. Say 7yo can self administered…Got instructions and video sent by school.

The ART kit distributed via the schools is a different brand from the one mailed to home address.
