Can COVID come back?
I originally tested positive on 3/1 and then negative on 3/6. I tested on a home test kit this morning and I'm positive 7 days after a negative test.

Stop it. Just stop.

Most definitely, for some reason it’s attracted to left wing progressive liberals. You need to go straight to the doctor and get your whole series of covid shots all over again.
And don’t forget to double mask and wash your hands. :thatsright:

Home test kits ("rapid antigen") have higher false positive and higher false negative rates than the test that labs and hospitals use, which detect genetic material specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (PCR test). Rapid antigen tests are less precise, and users sometimes are sloppy (e.g. don't follow directions or accidentally contaminate test materials - test developers try to make the test kits idiot-tolerant, but nothing is idiot-proof).

If DU-member MustLoveBeagles was actually concerned, (s)he should have arranged - and now maybe should - to have a PCR test done at a local Walgreens or CVS or indie pharmacy. Or maybe just stay home for a week unless symptoms become serious and ask friends to deliver food and necessities if necessary (DU-member MustLoveBeagles should have bought an oximeter 3 or 4 years ago). If one compares Worldometers' Covid cases and deaths data for the US it can be seen that Covid became less deadly in mid-late 2021, and there have been fewer cases (compared to 2021) starting with 2022.

Anyone who thought Covid would magically go away in a year or so was fooling themselves. Covid has become like flu, seasonal background noise for most, serious or deadly for a few. It probably should be handled like a flu or cold, i.e. don't go to a hospital or ER unless symptoms become serious and be selfish rather than sharing it.

Can COVID please come back? We're in big trouble here and we're desperate for another disaster like last time to save us again.

 :hi5: earned and issued for the accurate translation.

Unfortunately for DU-grade Progs, the 2023-2024 summer and winter Covid seasons were a fizzle and are in the past. Come Election Day, the 2024 summer Covid will be months in the past (and probably another fizzle, if that much), and the winter Covid season will be a month or more in the future (and probably another fizzle, if that much). Wolf-crying has consequences, especially if the wolf doesn't show up.

Oh, how they yearn for the days of old when they had a tool to mandate misery...  to satisfy their urge to control others

What's pathetic (OK, one among many stupid Prog narratives) is that the stupidly false narrative that Trump wasted the first two months of 2020 and did nothing about Covid. Progs recycle. I can still access (and post A/R) the list of news stories, with (updated) urls, I compiled back in August 2020 that demonstrates that narrative false.

What a sorry loser. Why would you trust any at home test kit as your only way to tell if your sick. They barely work as it has been pointed out in this thread and I guess if that is the kind of world you want to live in with fear and terror over something like Covid then by all means treat it like its the Andromeda Strain and stay in your home forever.

It also leads to putting Sharter Joe back in the basement, extended voting days at all hours, more unattended drop boxes, and libs going all in on mask wearing yet again. Along with shaming people for not getting your 19th Wuhan shot.
