    Just got a phone call from work. “Oh don’t retest if you don’t have any symptoms it can still show up for weeks.” ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

      the whole point of the RAT is to pick up if you are shedding significant amounts, as in “dangerous to others”. It’s based on viral load, not presence

      A +ve test is a symptom, no need to tell them the details of your symptoms. “Coughing up oysters” seems to gross people out.

      Someone said that to me once.

      The first time I caught covid, they made me come in to work. Guess what happened? Company was down to 3 people and entire families got infected including small children.

      Fucking wankers.
