I received a flu vaccine last year, approximately November or December, and have had two Covid tests come back negative. I haven't had the flu either.

EDIT: added approximate date

Curious, why did you take the covid tests? Were you showing symptoms? I see the 40mm tests done across the US to date - I'm thinking that a great many of those are just 'curious' since the tests are on demand of the 'patient' at this point through these drive throughs. (and are free to the patient) Also, the positive tests reflect the people who 'have' it who are getting repeat tests every couple of days to see if they're over it. That one person could show up as multiple 'positive cases'. Wish somebody like Birx would address that to the public, but I'm afraid those numbers aren't captured cleanly enough to analyze. And what's to stop me from going to one Drive thru test tent, then driving across town to another drive thru test tent just to compare results? I think this has become such a huge mess that this is why we aren't seeing the task force very much these days. No confidence in the data.

I was in the ER at the VA both times, roughly 3 weeks apart. It's required to allow them to test. Both times I got the "shove the plastic swab to the backside of your brain" test.

Why do they shove the swab so far up your brain if supposedly your mere existence is a super spreader?

To keep you in line and uncomfortable. "ARRRRGH, I don't want that stuck into my brain again I'd better submit and wear a mask always!"

Odd, I was in the Dallas VA hospital during the height of covid and never got tested. In for appendicitis

I don't know why that would be. Maybe they were running low on testing kits?

Thank you for your service, Fren!

A lot of people are getting tested indirectly now.

Doctors appointment? Most likely have to get tested. Minor surgery? Most likely have to get tested

etc etc

My doctor did the same. Told me to avoid people just as much if not more than usual and to wash my hands more often than normal if I'm out of my normal environment. Basically, keep living my life and just realize that something is going around out there. Also alluded to not agreeing with the numbers and figures. Doc is pretty based.

Some people might get tested because we were told that we can be carrying it and never have symptoms. I suspect this is a lie for the most part. Media hasn't mentioned that in months as far as I can tell.

Which tests. Antibody or rna? RNA testing is much more accurate.

I don't have any idea. Whichever one they shove the swab inside your nose so far it tickles your brain. But knowing the VA, I wouldn't be surprised if they do both types of test. I always request a full drug screening and full STD screening every time I have a blood workup at the VA to be on record for security clearance reasons.

EDIT: Found a copy of my test results.

but he actually tested positive for covid too. Probably counted in the covid death total since most states are counting any death where the person has covid.
