I put my batch of 8 tests in the drawer with my condoms. 🤪

@Montanaman Not a bad idea!

@LordShadowfire But I don't need condoms 🤪

@Montanaman And after you have Covid, you won't need the tests.

There were 134,102 new Covid cases yesterday in the US. 354 deaths. The trend is rising and expected to rise; it's currently at 3x the level it was 2 years ago in 2020. The populations most affected no longer move along age and medical lines but among vaccinated and unvaccinated, the result being a much higher instance of Covid in red states. Further, impactful research indicates sever cognitive issues for nearly half of those suffering a serious bout of Covid (https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/map).

But hey, humans never were really that big on prevention. We're much more the 'turkey staring at the rain with an open gullet' kind of species.

Thank you! I still have a test or two left from the last round, but more is always a good thing 🙂

Thank you. I missed the first round. I need to order this time.

@REMsleep I find there's a peace of mind to being able to test after hanging out with crowds of people.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

Nice. Very handy to keep around, because I do plan on traveling soon.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@LordShadowfire Me, too. And the last three people I've known to travel did everything right and still got Covid.
