Just tested positive

Such a thing exists. They’ll call it suction in the hospital. Never had it used in me but I e seen it used plenty of times when I was working in a hospital. Doesn’t seem very comfortable. If you’re having that done to you you’re in bad shape.

[EDGECRUSHER]

Took a home test. I am still positive and suffering. Somebody should invent a mucus sucker you can stick down your throat

Don't take a test every day, that's pointless.

Make sure you get fresh air and eat clean. Lots of water.

Vitamin C every day, and paracetamol (ie. Tylenol) can help with the fever and body aches.

If it's significantly effecting breathing then medical attention should be sought immediately regardless of how bad you may think it is or not.

Not sure about what happens there in the USA, but some states here in Australia still prefer you have a government PCR test after testing positive to a RAT and/or having symptoms so they can assist quickly if things deteriorate.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Just curious, is there any chance it could not be Covid?

[ArtieChokePhin]

My company mandated we all be boosted so I am

What your company did is illegal and you can file suit against them for that.

However, it should be obvious that if conservatives are willing to revolt over masking and social distancing for a disease that's killing a 9/11 worth of Americans each day, there is absolutely zero chance they would ever be willing to regularly wear masks for something as insignificant as the flu.  So it is what it is.

Well the good thing for you guys is we will all be dead soon by your rationale and you won't have to watch us defy your logic. It's hard to believe any conservatives remain based on your logic. Your life should be just peachy these days.

Yeah, there were a ton of false positives with the rapid tests. I think the more thorough ones with the deep nose swab are more accurate but the drug store rapid ones can be iffy. Still, treat it as if it is Covid just to be safe.

[dolphins4life]

I should have done a flu test, too

[Dave Gray]

What your company did is illegal

No it's not.

[Fau Teixeira]

I'm with Dave, it is not illegal

[ArtieChokePhin]

No it's not.

The Supreme Court ruled that it is.

[EDGECRUSHER]

The Supreme Court ruled that it is.

I think it depends on the company and the state. Here in NYC, you can't even be in an office building without being vaccinated.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

The Supreme Court ruled that it is.

Not even close.  The S.Ct. ruled that OSHA can not mandate employers to require the vax, with the exception that OSHA can mandate healthcare facilities.  Private employees are still permitted to have the vaccine as a condition of employment, if the employer chooses.  And healthcare facilities are required to mandate it.  You really need to get a better source for news.

I took one five hour test at work that came back positive.

I have taken two rapid at home tests

All have been positive

I think he just misunderstood as that was pretty much the same story on all news channels. The good thing for me is although our company is based out of Boston they backed down on us in Florida having to get vaccinated after the SC ruling. I know that wasn't the case for everyone and some private companies in Florida still required it.

Like Edge said it's kind of useless to keep taking them. You can test postive for weeks even after getting better and not being able to infect people.
